on our morning walk if you will
Let's take a look at what's going on in the world of sports.
How about the Detroit Pistons, or Detroit Tigers, rather, snapped a couple of game-losing streak yesterday.
They went into the Bronx to take on the Bronx Bombers, and they got up quickly and early as they won by the score, seven to three last night.
The story of the game, though, was Casey Myers.
Seven shutout innings ten strikeouts now three and five on the year.
He's pitched really well lately coming off the aisle And so he was dominant in that Yankees game now I know they don't have John Carlos Stanton or the judge Aaron judge and they lost jazz chism jr.
Yesterday that was pretty much after the damage had been done though in that one as other the Tigers they win one they give AJ Hinch his 1,000th win
As in his career as a manager, seven to five.
That is for the Tigers as they defeat the New York Yankees.
The Tigers won despite AJ Hinch.
One wonders what he does in that dugout.
I don't understand his lineup.
I posted on social media yesterday.
It looked like a double A or triple A lineup for the Tigers yesterday with Cary Carpenter, which baffles me.
The guy's got power.
He's got stick.
Riley Green, I understand.
He hadn't sat all year, but...
I don't know, maybe I'm old school.
These are games to trade.
Have to win.
Now, they were lucky they played a depleted Yankees team, but they've got to win.
They've got no choice.
If they think that they've got a sniff of the playoffs, you can't be sitting your regulars.
You've got a day off on Friday.
You've got a day off next week.
Then you've got the All-Star break.
I don't get it, but you know what?
That's A.J.
Hinch.
Here's a guy who puts in a reliever in the 10th inning on Sunday for a second inning, that being Kenley Jansen.
i haven't done that in a year i don't care if you had eight pitches in the ninth inning you could see it in his eye he wasn't even close to the tenth inning and he's got this fascination of putting in jimai jones who's batting 140 i've weighed 140 since i was in tenth grade that was 50 years ago almost okay 46 whatever 45 but now nonetheless the guy shouldn't be in the lineup especially uh... i i could go on for an hour what i think a j hansh and scott harrick
Now with the Tigers, it's going to be interesting at the trade deadline what they do if they're going to be sellers or if they're going to be buyers, if they think they got a shot.
Casey Meis last night, don't be surprised that they dangle that carrot.
I think they could get a solid return and one of their trade partners could be the team that he pitched against last night.
That being the New York Yankees, we'll keep an eye on that as we always do.
So again, the chart beats the Yankees last night, seven to three.
three scuba cam schlittler though it's going to be your pitching match up and for those of you that are analytics gurus schlittler comes into the game the best in the american league in war that's wins above replacement i i don't follow it i don't get it the Yankees have lost five straight they lost to jimmy's favorite team the boston red socks and they lost in a big way they took them out to the woodshed did the socks over the Yankees
beat him four straight, and the Tigers gave him number five.
We'll see if the two-time defending Cy Young Award winner can make it six straight tonight against the Bronx Bombers.
How about the Brew Crew?
They're something good to talk about as well.
They beat the Cincinnati Red Legs last night, five to three, 551, and 31 on the year.
Five and a half games up on the streaking.
Chicago Cubs now.
Aaron Ashley got the win last night for the Yankees.
He's 11-1.
The crazy thing with this, he's a reliever.
He pitches one inning.
Maybe that's it.
Maybe.
I think the most he's gone is two innings.
And it's June 30th and he's 11-1.
That's crazy.
I don't know if I've ever seen that happen with a relief pitcher.
I remember way back in 1984, I think Aurelio Lopez was 12-1 as a set-up guy in relief for the Tigers, but that was over the whole year.
Wouldn't that be something if Aaron Ashby was a 20-game winner?
He's only throwing 50 innings.
That's a lot for a reliever.
50 innings, and he's got 11 wins.
How cool is that?
Anyway, so Tarang and Ortiz got home runs for the brew crew.
As again, they are five and a half games up on Chicago for first place in the National League Central.
Real quick, with the Major League Baseball standings.
Tampa Bay.
As we mentioned, they won five straight.
They're now a game and a half on top of the Yankees for first place in the American League East.
The White Sox, they still lead the Guardians, both teams won last night.
They're a game up on the Guardians.
Detroit, by the way, nine games out of first place in the American League Central.
And in the West, Texas climbed above the 500 mark.
They're a game up, or a half a game up on the Seattle Mariners who are at 500.
The rest
You know, they're like the Tigers, not doing real well.
In the National League, Atlanta Braves who once had a 10-game lead in the National League East, now they're lead down to three and a half over the Philadelphia Phillies.
They are going strong are the Phillies.
Donnie Baseball, Don Mattingly leading the charge as an interim manager for the...
Philadelphia Phillies keep an eye on them.
They're creeping ever so closely.
Look for the brave, maybe, to be in the case, in the Casey Meis, Tariq Schuble, sweepstakes towards the end of the year.
In the central, we mentioned that the Brewers now five and a half up on the Cubs.
The Cardinals fading a little bit.
There's seven and a half back.
And the Pittsburgh Pirates above 500.
Nine and a half out and in the West.
How about the Los Angeles Dodgers?
They've got a 10 game lead, or 11 game lead.
I beg your pardon, Al.
over the San Diego Padres all right well some crazy news and in the world of sports terry on arnold he was granted a one million dollar bond by the courts down in Tampa yesterday of course he was arrested in that scheme to get back his jewels or whatever he wasn't there supposedly went to beat the crap out of those teenagers whatever he was indicted seven felony counts uh... keyword being indicted he wasn't found guilty or anything
but he was arraigned yesterday and he was given a one million dollar bond they said he could release or he could resume activities for the lion well i don't worry about that anymore the lion yesterday afternoon cut bait with terry on arnold and uh... he is no longer a member of the detroit lion and so he's going to uh... face this now unemployed as of right now outbreak for arnold if he found guilty well if he found not guilty
that it really is a tough break.
Maybe the Lions will take him back.
I don't know some team will if he's cleared of all charges, which I'll tell you where there's smoke, there's fire.
I'm not, you know, judge, jury and executioner, but it doesn't look good for Terry Arnold.
And he becomes the first, the first round draft pick out of the class of 2024 to get caught.
So that's not a good look for Terry Arnold.
Not a great look for the Lions.
I mean, they didn't know this coming in now for what it's worth.
You got a letter of recommendation, a shining letter of recommendation from the godfather of college football.
That being Nick Saban.
Take that for what it's worth.
All right.
How about the pistons?
Let's go to the NBA.
Some off the court news or off the court news.
Yes, now we always talk about the six weeks being baseball's time to shine.
They get center stage.
Nobody else is playing.
I know you got the World Cup and this and that.
And we'll touch on that in a moment.
You know, if we've got time, but the pistons in the off the court news yesterday was an outside Jalen Durand is wanting for some reason to go to the Sacramento Kings.
And so he's exploring that opportunity for potential signing trade.
He's an unrestricted free agent.
He was quote unquote insulted by the offer that the pistons gave him.
And so now he's looking at either the Kings or potentially the Lakers, maybe as a sign and trade.
He wants to go to Sacramento.
Don't let him hit the door.
Hit him in the behind on the way out.
I think Detroit will still try to make an attempt to sign him.
He was good during the regular season, but he was like Casper the ghost in the playoffs on no show, especially towards the end, but he wants big money.
He wants money.
I don't, you know, and I get it.
Everybody wants Max money.
We'll see the court of public opinion.
Obviously it's not going to go in his favor, but that really doesn't matter now, does it?
So we'll keep an eye on that.
sticking in the nba here's another crazy story malik beasley i don't you remember him you know if you're a milwaukee buckspan he played for the buck he played for a bunch of teams he was just about to sign a free agency contract last year with the detroit pistons i think like sixty three million dollars a good amount whatever it was well he got investigated for gambling and then it came down yesterday so detroit decided not to sign him he got suspended
He's had some legal issues, some financial woes, apartment convictions, not paying his agent to just go through the money.
He's a gambler, you know, he's got some issues.
Well, he was indicted yesterday along with Ed Davis and some of these stories are absolutely insane.
Now, one of them was, and I saw the video of this one, they were playing, he was with the Timberwolves and they're playing the Clippers.
The Clippers were on the line to shoot a couple of free throws, four seconds left.
They cut the lead to seven.
Malik Beasley took the inbounds past.
Scamper, I mean, sprinted down the court, dunked it right at the horn to cover an eight and a half point spread.
So that's a little bit, is it coincidental?
Maybe.
Then I saw another video where I can't remember who they were playing, but his over under on grabbing rebounds was three and a half, and he said he could go over.
And with 1.1 seconds off of this shot, he pushed his teammate out of the way so he could grab the rebound, and he got his fourth rebound, and he won his bet.
Now he co-conspirated with Ed Davis, a member of the team at the time.
You talk about a bad look.
This guy's going to make Brendan Sores be looked like, uh, um, oh gosh, what's the... Father Murphy.
He looked like Mother Teresa.
Yeah, I believe... Beesley's in a little bit of trouble.
I think he could be another one that could be playing for the mean machine somewhere in the penitentiary, as they say.
So just some weird news in the world of sports there.
It's just that you feel bad for a person to a certain extent.
We've talked a little bit about the World Cup.
I don't know if you follow that.
The USA plays tomorrow against Bosnia-Herzegovina.
and around the sixty i know jimmy following that i can't wait to talk to jimmy on thursday maybe by that time he can explain to me what the outside call it but kind of a you know a little running joke to him and i've had uh... corresponding walley convalescing in privacy but nonetheless a big upset yesterday paraguay knocked out germany in extra time uh... still don't know how to figure that out and i'm not making fun of the world with soccer it's just i don't follow it i'm walking it just because it's here
in the continent and uh... you know it is obviously the big deal throughout the world but a big upset nonetheless germany not expected to lose a pair of way in the knockout run and uh... brazil with no one nothing late and scored a couple of goals to beat japan in canada one for the first time ever in the knockout round in the world game as uh... they want to be advanced and we mentioned tomorrow it's going to be the u s a turn to try to win one in the knockout stage to go
further than they ever have but i think they have won a knockout game but they're trying to make history try to make a deep run in this uh... world cup and so and here's another one of what will this story ever seem to go away you know i i i told myself i wasn't going to say anything but what she said kind of hit hard with the team that some of you may follow here in the great u p diana russini and mike variable you know the relationship blah blah blah nice
i'm sure you heard that the tech of the you thought about a camp footage or you listen to it i've listened to it this morning i'm reading about it and i and i thought i wouldn't talk a whole lot about it but it this is like the gift to keep on giving right so she gets pulled over by the police you know what you throw their way around telling you that you know you know who i am kind of a thing i was just off the phone talking about shon mcdermott blah blah blah talking to the cop and then you know she was named dropping you know
like Carter drops liver pills well you know the funny thing about it is the cop really didn't care because he wasn't a new york sports fan and she got out of him who his favorite football team was and he said it was the minnesota vikings and she's of course said that jay j mccarty suck so i just i got a chuckle out of it i you know it's just just a bad just a bad look and you just i don't know i just had to bring it up i thought it was kind of funny so anyways that's the craziness of the world of sports and uh...
Again, congratulations to AJ Hinch, getting his thousands winners manager, career manager.
Let's see if you can keep Jamati Jones out of the lineup tonight.
We'll see how serious you are about winning.
Who's going to be on the trade deadline for the Tigers?
Is it going to be Casey Meis going to be there?
Is it Trix?
How about Jack Flaherty?
Keep an eye out for him.
He could be on the trading block.
I know the Brewers could always use an extra arm.
And I know, obviously,
There are 20 games over 500.
Some may say you don't want to mess with success.
Well, we'll wait and see.
Well, that's going to do it for Peking in the Great Bind here on this Tuesday.
As I mentioned, the big bell is going to be back.
The Greek, the man, the myth, the legend.
Jimmy Young's going to be back on Thursday.
I think I'm going to join him to pass off the baton.
It's been an absolute treat, everybody.
I've really enjoyed being a part of your morning the last couple of weeks.
Have a great day, everybody.
Stay cool, by the way.
I'll tell you what, it is sticky down here, and I hear it's not that much better up there.
Just remember this.
It could be 18 degrees below zero with a swirling snowstorm right now, so if that's your, if that's your pleasure, it'll be here soon enough.
But until then, Captain Lutzen, keep your heads up, keep your sticks down, keep your feet moving, and as always, keep your minds open.
But send it back to Sam in the studio.
