lot to talk about, including the Tigers, Pistons, Red Wings,

(00:47):
and Lions. Oh my goods, is a jam packed episode tonight. Yes, yeah,
so yeah, I had to prepare a lot of stuff.
But my god, let's get to it right now. The
Tigers have now lost twelve of their last thirteen games,
and that's a sign of a monumental collapse. This is

(01:10):
not just a slump, Okay, people are just people just
get to just sound too cocky, too arrogant. They just
try to baby us for no reason. We don't need
that garbage. We don't need their their soft ass garbage.

(01:33):
I'm sorry, we're not gonna take that. We're adults, were concerned.
We're realist Tigers fans. If you don't want to real
if you don't want to be a realist, stay out,
stay out of the comment section, leave us alone, and
don't even say a word. Okay. If you're going to
be that sensitive, don't even bother saying it. Darn word. Okay.

(02:00):
So the Tigers now they have now lost twelve of
their last thirteen games. Oh my god, this is I
can't I can't do that. Yep. Yeah, I'm aware of
the Luke Jackson. Yeah, we'll get to that in a minute.

(02:22):
But that's part of it. That's part of what I'm
going to talk about really soon Detroit Sports talk, thank
you very much. So they're futurret offense. Let's start with that.
That's the main problem. Terrek Scuball can't do it all
by himself. That's that's one thing. He's been pitching his

(02:43):
ass off as always or usual, one of the two.
I would love to say always, because I'm really high
on him, But lately he just can't take lack of
run support because their offense again just pissing him off.
It's pissing us off. Just these four guys in the lineup,

(03:15):
Matt Feeling, Parker Meadows, Jake Rogers, and Trey Sweeney. They
all cannot hit at all. Yeah, the offensive dog duo
one for twenty five. Really, thanks for that infol detuait
sports talk, thank you very much. And then Riley Green

(03:35):
striking out way too many times. Really, you can't make
this up. I'm gonna go to the roster right about now,
and I'm gonna share share the screen for you guys. Roster.

(04:05):
There we go, outfielders, Riley Green, there we go. So yeah,
Riley Green last seven games, one seventy nine average, two
oh seven on base percentage two eighty six slugging. So
that's a four ninety three OPS total in his last

(04:31):
seven games for Riley Green, one hundred and forty one
strikeouts right there. That that leads the major leagues by far. Yes,
is average is still two seventy four, his OPS is

(04:54):
eight forty three. But his strikeout rate, his strikeouts total
at can't that just can't happen. He's he's overswinging and
he's being he's being less patient at the plate. He

(05:15):
really is. So with that being said, yeah, the Phillies
acquired Hicklin in the in trade with the Tigers for cash.
Is I'm aware of that too. It get it gives

(05:37):
the Tigers a little extra payroll money. So that that's
the offense. And then of course you got the uh
terrible bullpen Dietrich Ends as I share the screen yet again, Allow,

(06:07):
there we go. We've got dietrich Ends right here. This
is the active roster. Dietrich Ens five seventy one ERA
one fifty whip seven in seventeen and a third innings,
just fourteen strikeouts. How many walks four? He's a one

(06:32):
of four walks just six games in just six games played.
He's got a four thirty three career ERA one thirty
one whip career, but five seventy one ERA is a Tiger.
It's played with the Minnesota Twins and the Tampa Bay Rays,

(06:54):
both in the majors. He has had very little playing
time and he's uh clearly shown that he's not ready
for them. He's still not ready for the major leagues.
How old is he? Thirty four? He's still a minor
league pitcher. Why do the Tigers even call him? Call
his ass up in the first place. I mean, come on,

(07:18):
Jesus Christ, Scott Harrison, Jeff Greenberg, what the hell are
you two even thinking? There's Brent Herder. He's got a
two eighty six e RA. The Tigers released car Carlos Hernett.
The Tigers have DFA Carlos Hernandez. Jeff Harley was DFA Tider.

(07:45):
Montero played has played both starting and relief pitching roles.
Tydler Montero was optioned to Triple A Toledo Minors Minors Minors,
hang on a second Montero right here. Montero for sixty

(08:13):
six ERA one forty three whip that that is not good,
even for a fifth, even for a five spot in
the starting rotation, and even in the bullpen, and especially
in the bullpen, that is just not good at all.
His last seven games five forty five e RA a
one thirty nine whip, but a five five forty five

(08:34):
whip that that is terrible. That is terrible in his
last seven games. Luke Jackson, they signed him. Yeah, let's
get to Luke Jackson. Detroit Sports News. If you're paying attention,
four to eleven ERA two and five record one forty

(08:56):
six whip. His era is uh, this era could still
be a lot better, but it's not quite as terrible
as Kaider Montero. It's era in the major leagues. His
last seven game seven oh four Era Jesus H. Christ
Judas praised two twenty two whip, sent his ass down.

(09:20):
Please signed him to a major league contract? Are Scott
Harrison Jeff Greenberg? Fucking stupid? God damn, what is wrong
with these two yes men? To Chris ilic I mean

(09:46):
literally Tommy Canley to a score of seventh inning but
still a four to sixty one ERA one fifteen whip,
which is not bad, but a four to sixty one
e ray is unacceptable. His last seven games a seventeen
thirty six ERA with a two point fifty seven whip.

(10:13):
Oh God, you gotta be take me just four and
two thirds innings. Oh I really can't. I can't. I'm dead. Seriously,

(10:51):
Troy Melton, he's on the active roster ten eighty ERA
one eighty whip. What in the fuck is going on? Seriously,

(11:16):
I'm acting like Gordon Ramsey, just exploding on a filed
such a failed restaurant as in failed MLB franchise here,
I really can't, man, I can't Troy Melton or Chase

(11:43):
Lee rather for twenty one ERA not good. One o
seven whip, that's good. His last seven games twelve twenty
seventy RA won seventy seven whip. There you go. Those
are beyond terrible as well. So there and then he
finally got will vest still a two fifty eight e

(12:09):
RA a one oh four whip five and two record.
But he's been laboring as of late a little bit.
Three sixty eight e RA one fifty one fight whip
took the loss tonight he got he got pelted. He

(12:31):
got pelted tonight. Hm hmm, he really did. I'll show
you on the box score here this six to one
loss earlier tonight to the Toronto Blue Jays, the Tigers
on the verge of getting swept in a four game

(12:52):
series against the Blue Jays at Comerica Park. The Tigers
have out h the Tigers. H m hmmm, yeah, best
two runs on three hints in one inning, no walks,

(13:15):
one strikeout. But that's it. Well he so it's not pelted.
But Chase Lee he got. He's the one that got pelted,
So yeah, I stand corrected. There. So those are the relievers,

(13:36):
and then the starting pictures. Oh man, starting starting pictures.
I'm not going to go through Teksch but we don't
know he's a he's a god, a legend. Of course.

(14:00):
You got Jack Flaherity, Yeah, the starting starting pitchers, Jack Flarity,
Casey Mice being awful. Let's start with Jack Flairity four
seventy seven ERA one twenty nine whip. It's not this
whip is not terrible, but as but Isaiah e Ra
is bad his last seven games seven seventy nine ERA

(14:24):
oh and four record one seventy nine whip. Really just
I am detecting a lot of terrible stats, a lot
of terrible pitching stats. I really am. Okay, so uh,

(14:49):
Casey Mice Yeah, and then and then results them Casey
Mice nine and four three forty e RA A one
twenty eight whip, they ain't got one twenty eight whip
his last seven games for fourteen e RA three and
three one thirty eight whip. Right there, So we go

(15:15):
to Reesulson. Those are the only three starting active starting
pitchers but other than Trek Scooble that are on this
Tigers active roster Jackson joke three fifteen e rays kind
of decent, if not good. One one whip last seven

(15:37):
games to seventy eight e RA it's good. One eighteen
whip also good one and two record. So now let's
get let's let's go back to the future offense here
manh Yeah, let's start with Parker Meadows. Oh god, literally,

(16:03):
one eighty nine average five forty ops and his last
seven games won eleven average, three sixty seven ops in
eighteen AT that's plus two walks. So that's at least
twenty played appearances for Parker Meadows. Yeah, that's all for

(16:32):
Parker Meadows right there as of late. And then Matt
Veerling one ninety seven average bad, not quite terrible, but
still bad. Five oh nine ops. That's terrible. His last

(16:54):
seven games one for five and twenty one at bets
I mean five or twenty one rather just one run,
seven strikeouts, two thirty eight average and uh the two
seventy three on base percentage two thirty eight slugging, so
that that would make it a five eleven ops in

(17:15):
his last seven games for Matt Bailing Tray Sweeney two
eight average, five seventy eight ops. Slightly better, but still
not good, not nearly good enough. Oh my god, look
at look at these He's let's Tray Sweeney's last seven

(17:39):
games zero zero seventy seven average one three on base
and zero seventy seven slugging. Are you kidding me? That's

(18:02):
a two ten ops in trace Winny's last seven games.
Look at this crap? Oh geez, especially the last seven games.
Last fifteen games one to eleven average four sixty four ops,

(18:24):
his last thirty games one thirty two average for fifty
six ops. Still tear, still terrible. And then you got
Jake Rogers two for three tonight, I think got two hits.
Yeah right there, two for three with one strikeout. That's

(18:47):
it he got. He got a score run the only
run tonight, but one eighty four average six o eight OPS,
which is bad but not terrible. Rod Is hitting under
two hundred, not good at all. His last seven games
two hundred average seven thirty three OPS, which is still

(19:12):
a little better than I expected as of late. And
Jake Rodgers is last seven games but still he's got
to prove more good defensive pickoff throwing a guy out,
throwing a guy out, at third earlier in tonight's six
to one loss. Now let's look at the regressing players.

(19:35):
Jabier Bayaz, Yes, his overall stats, but I want to
get to his stats as of late his last seven
games three for twenty one, one forty three, average, one
forty three, on base one forty three, slugging all one
forty three right there. So that's a two to eighty

(19:55):
six ops in Hobbier Bias's last seven games. Yeah, he's
he's going back to sucking ass. I can't take him anymore.
I can't. Hm. This is year five of bias is
six year, one hundred forty forty million dollar contract. Yeah,

(20:30):
so here here are the uh contract details again, Hoave
or Bias? He's got two years left one, two, three,
four five six. Yeah, that's so that's year four, not

(20:51):
not five. My apologies, I miscounted. So it's year four,
So two more years of that that piece of trash
after this year. So so that although a lot of

(21:19):
those players are like locked up and all those cash totals,
which which leads me to my point that yeah Green
and the strikeouts, Yeah what happened? Yeah, what happened to
this team? Yeah? Yeah, I show them to my audience earlier,

(21:45):
Susan Bricker, thank you very much, if you would please subscribe. Yeah,
Guardians officially seven games back at the Tigers. They've made
up eight and a half games on Detroit, just fourteen games.
We're starting to have ourselves a race. Probably want to
make it a move. Making the playoffs and winning the
Vision has value. Can't just stand by and watch them lose.
But making a move at best case from debt fan

(22:07):
man would add one successful bat, another good arm to
this team. Meanwhile, Rogers got two hits before the ninth. Yeah,
but this, this is why all these all that money
that I showed on spot track leads me to this
multiple report earlier today from earlier today for multiple reports,

(22:30):
multiple media outlets that the Tigers are not expected to
be aggressive at the trade line. And I just showed
you why all the money that some of the players
that the Tigers have locked Tigers organization is locked up.

(22:52):
That can spell a lot of trouble. So let me
move this. Yeah, let me turn this around. There we go. Hmm,
all right, good. So the Tigers wanted to touch on

(23:13):
an update on Eugeno Suarez. He is reportedly almost certain
according to bleacher report to be traded. The New York
Mets are out of his sweepstakes, so uh alerts Suarez

(23:39):
trade almost certain. This is from John Hamon. The Mets
are not in on Suarez. Their priority is a bull
is the bullpen, but a starter and a center field
What wasn't hurt Suarez is a third basement mind you.
Of course, if you recall, of course many teams, including

(24:01):
the Tigers the Phillies can't quite see well, yeah that
the Yankees, Mariners, Cubs, Reds, Astros, Tigers Bros Are also fits. Yeah,
the Phillies. As I just mentioned, there a yet another

(24:23):
potential fit for Soars with bum out and a need
for a righty bat. So wow, this this is a
wide ass market in Major League Baseball. Trade deadline market

(24:43):
in Major League Baseball. I tell you, yeah, the Tigers
are still I wonder if the Tigers are still in
on Alex Bregman as well. I would take either one.
It's it's seriously, I mean, but this is but this

(25:04):
is why right here, back to this not expected to
be aggressive headline at the trade deadline with the Tigers
shows why the Tigers are not going to be contending
for a world Series ring anytime soon because they want
to be slower. Either that or Chris Siliz just continues
to spend way too much of his money on other

(25:25):
stadium renovations and parking lots and other stupid shit.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
I mean this cannot this just cannot continue it I am.
I am not asking to Chris Silich to sell the
Tigers just because of their performance. No, it's only about
the money.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
It's all about It's all about them money, them money.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
So I am not Even if the Tigers still had
the best record in all Major League Baseball, I would
still not consider them analytically an elite World Series Championship
contender because I want to show you one more time.

(26:31):
Oh my god, look at the Tigers sinking. I want
to share the screen one more time of the Tigers.
So one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. The Tigers
are now the eighth had the the eighth best record
in Major League Baseball, the eighth best record after losing

(26:52):
twelve to thirteen, and now look at their division standings,
seven games back the Guardians Royals eight and a half,
twins nine. This this is a monumental collapse in progress.

(27:19):
I'm not shitting around so Tigers trade rumors target Ryan Helsley. So, yeah,
let's let's look him up, shall we. Yeah, I'm gonna
look up Ryan Hellsley right right now. Thank you. Detroit

(27:45):
Sports Talk Baseball reference Ryan Hellsley from twenty nineteen to
twenty twenty five. I want to uh turn on screen
sharing again. Ryan Helsley for the Saint Louis Cardinals. From

(28:10):
the Saint Louis Cardinals. He is a pitcher. Yeah, so
his e RA right now is three hundred MLB dot com.

(28:31):
There we go, let me see here search Ryan Helsley. Yeah,
Hellsley earns the save.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
Complete eight stats. Yeah, ERA is three hundred three and one.
He's got a yeah, three hundred ERA one thirty nine
whip decent but not not quite good. But his last
seven games one twenty nine e RA one twenty nine
whip five saves right there. That's that's good. That's a closer.

(29:25):
Those are closer statistics that would Yeah, because will Ves
has lost it. The Tigers need a replacement for will
Vest and Ryan Helsley could be could be that a
good candidate for that for that position, particular position in
the bullpen. And then Ryan Helsey's advanced stats value pitching

(29:49):
his war positive one point one in twenty twenty five,
positive two point nine in twenty twenty four, positive two
point eight, twenty twenty two, positive one point four and
twenty twenty three. So his last four years this war
has been above zero, which is good. That is good, good,

(30:22):
good good. Oh yeah, so there's that now, now do
some Pistons wow. In other news, the Pistons have signed
former second round draft pick guard and forward Kolbe Jones

(30:44):
from the Washington Wizards to a two way contract. Wow.
Ten live subscrims. Wow. Ten live years total on Twitter, YouTube,
and Instagram. Sarah Crowe seventy seven. Sarah Croaches joined on Instagram. Nice,

(31:07):
But Kobe Jones, as I turn on screen sharing, I'm
gonna get his stats right here advanced Oh, there's NBA

(31:30):
dot com general splits, Okay, assists, ratio, rebound percentage, all
that stuff. But there's a two point field goal percentage

(31:51):
which is fifty six point three percent. That's five point
sixty three. There's three point field goal percentage three away,
that's thirty point eight percent from the from behind the
three point line. Points per game eight point seven it's

(32:13):
a two way. It's a two way contract, not two years,
but it's a two way contract. So the Pistons are
apparently going to sign him, assign or assign him to
the NBA G League's MotorCity Cruise. To start off with,
I would it would be safe. It would be the
safe move for Trajan Langdon to make in the Pistons

(32:39):
front office. Then we got a couple of comments right here.
Hellsley's best pitch for generating swings and missus is four
seen fastball. Yeah, he's got to here. What are your
predictions for our Lions this season? I can't predict that yet.

(33:02):
We're gonna get to that, Susan. We're gonna have to
get to this a little bit later, so please be patient.
So back to the Piston signing, Colby Jones. I'm gonna

(33:27):
turn the screen sharing back on. Assist to turnover ratio
one point nine to one, Assist assist ratio twenty point eight,
net rating ten point four, offensive rating one hundred four
point four. His defensive rating is one hundred and fourteen

(33:51):
point eight. Thirty nine games played thirteen point two minutes
on the court. Offensive rebound percentage three point eight percent,
defensive rebound percentage twelve point eight, twelve point three rebound
total rebounding percentage eight point zero, turnover ratio ten point eight.

(34:12):
Effective field goal percentage fifty one point nine is true,
shooting percentage fifty four point four, usage percentage thirteen point eight,
pace ninety nine point four to seven, and player impact
estimate seven point eight. So that that do'll tell you

(34:35):
all from last season with the Washington Wizards wearing that
number one on his on the back of his jersey
as a guard. So there you go, Detroit Sports Talk

(34:55):
thirteen and four or fourteen and three for the Lions,
and we'll get to and we'll get to the lines,
and uh, just momentarily, I gotta get to some red wings.
Here advanced metrics from Advanced Hockey Stats and Hockey Reference.
You guys ready for these? Oh crap, there goes Advanced

(35:18):
Hockey Stats. So uh and my Patreon account has been
deactivated due to suspicious activity, so I can no longer
log into Advanced Hockey Stats. So I sincerely apologize. Mm hm,
m hm. But Hockey Reference, Mason Appleton, Yeah, I gotta

(35:56):
turn the screen sharing back back on, don't I? Yeah,
I almost forgot about that. Mason Appleton, he's a center
coming from the Winnipeg Jets. Plus minus total goals on

(36:23):
ice against thirty four compared to in twenty twenty four
to twenty twenty five compared to fifty one and twenty
twenty three to twenty twenty four. So is that that
number is reduced by seventeen So his total Yeah, possession

(36:52):
metrics to yeah, let's go go to his possession metrics
ten ten goal but for ten goals, twelve assust twenty
two points under eight shots blocks against thirty seven and
then twenty nine block shots shots shot blocks giveaways thirty eight.

(37:19):
Oh my, that is terrible. Thirty eight giveaways. Yeah, that's
Appleton has sign up, sign up, sign a two year,
five point eight million dollar contract total two point nine
average annual value. And then and then possession metrics.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
M hmm.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
I'm gonna close that tab. So it's that one, that one,
and that one. Because I'm done with the Tigers, but
I can get back to them. It's a live episode.
Oh man, look at this shorthanded. There we go. Let's

(38:23):
let's take a look at that. Only one giveaway shorthanded.
That's that's really good just one all season, five on
the penalty kill, on the power play, just one giveaway
even strength thirty six. So it's so it's even strength giveaways.

(38:50):
He's got to cut back on five on five thirty two,
five on flat, five close sixteen five on five. I
mean in close games five on five and tie games twelve.
So I'm just pointing out as Flaws gives the puck

(39:12):
away way too many times on even strength, mostly on
even at even strength. Possession possession metrics Coursey against in
all situations one thousand and seventy six of Coursey four
in all situations, shots, shots plus blocks plus misses nine

(39:35):
and eighty six time on ice in minutes one thousand
and fifty three point zero mm okay, So Fenwick four

(40:00):
percentages in all situations forty eight point zero percent Fenwick
against in all situations seven hundred and eighty five of
Coursey four relative course four percentage at even strength, a
negative two point one. Offensive zone start possessions in all

(40:27):
situations thirty point zero percent to defensive zone start possession
start percentages seventy percentage seventy point zero got the team
on I say percentage in all situations ninety three point

(40:48):
one calls against Wall on ice thirty four team on
I shooting percentage in all situations eight point four percent,
goals for a while on icehell situations thirty nine point
at thirty nine thirty nine goals for thirty nine goals

(41:08):
four for him even strength at eight point two. H
m hm. So I'm only going to go over the

(41:30):
newest Red Wings, not all of them, h m hm,
not all, not the entire roster, because I don't I
don't want to waste too wait, I don't want to
waste Waite too much time. So with that, So, with
that being said, NHL rate Metrics, assists for sixty minutes,

(41:58):
all that stuff. Of course, the Fenwick all miscellaneous stats,
expected goals for thirty six point seven for Appleton, expected
goals against thirty eight point zero in the regular season

(42:21):
and in the playoffs. Right there, not very much NHL playoff,
NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs, extra stats, playoff possession shots through
percentage forty four point four percent. They got face off

(42:45):
win percentage thirty three point three last season, the year
before that one holy cow in the playoffs. So he
just has to refine that he's not perfect, he's human
of course, but there's still room for improvement. I'm just

(43:11):
looking for his war powered by Stadhead huh oh yeah,
like it always has been takeaways just fifteen giveaways, just

(43:32):
thirty eight. Yeah. Appleton Mason Appleton both two point nine
million dollars in each each of his two seasons. That's
five point eight total, of course. H Then you got

(43:58):
John Gibson, he's a goaltender. Yeah, so his say percentage
last year with the Ducks nine to eleven goals against average,

(44:22):
two point seven to seven percent adjusted goals goals against
average two point nine to six seven and thirty nine
total saves out of eight hundred and eleven total shots.

(44:42):
So yeah, that that total is up to the say
percentage at nine to eleven, right there, nine to ten
careers say percentage two point eight nine career goals against average,
and then you got say percentages on the power play
or even strength at nine eight hundred on the power

(45:03):
play and then shorthanded eight point eight nine percent just
to only two goals against out of eight on eighteen
shots on goal, and then even straight score even strength

(45:26):
scoring chance metrics expected goals against fifty nine point three
just fifty nine point three compared to ninety three point
three the season before that in twenty three twenty four.
In twenty two to twenty three, one hundred and fifty
one point one expected goals against. So this is an

(45:47):
improvement from the last two from the last three seasons.
It's a it's a good decline or good improvement if
you will. And expected goals percentage as I get my
calculator out one fifty one point one minus fifty nine

(46:18):
point three, that is an improvement of of ninety one
point eight upward improvement trend of ninety one point eight
expected goals against. That's that's really really damn good for
a goaltender. That is a good signing and goal as

(46:42):
as Gibson will definitely help camp can Cam Talbot in net.
The Red Wings just need a better defenseman. But but
look at here, Look at all these locked up players,
their entire roster right right here. Morritt cider that that

(47:16):
is a long contract right there, not going to be
an unrestricted free agent until twenty thirty one to twenty
thirty two. Ben Sharat just one more season, forty seven
four point seventy five million at age thirty four, he
becomes a UFA in twenty twenty six, Justin Hall three

(47:36):
point four million this upcoming season, and then after that
UFA Eric Gustafson just two million this upcoming season, after
that UFA unrestricted free agent Albert Johansson one point one
two five million dollars this season and next season both each,
and then restricted free agent in twenty twenty seven, Simon

(48:01):
Edvanson eight point ninety four. No, that's eight hundred and
eighty four and sixty seven exact dollars this upcoming season,
and then restricted free agent in twenty twenty six, that's
next calendar year. And then Jacob Bernard Docker with the
Red Wings just signed eighty seven, eight hundred and seventy

(48:25):
five thousand dollars and then a UFA in twenty twenty six. Yeah,
let's get to Docker for about he's a defenseman. So

(48:48):
as I get done viewing the new signings advanced stats
on Hockey Reference, then I'll get back to the comments section.
So twenty five block shots in twenty twenty four, back

(49:12):
with a Saver with the Buffalo Savers in just fifteen games,
played a minus one, just a minus one or plus
three last year, a career minus one plus minus just

(49:33):
five years at the NHL. Oh. Yeah, he played for
Ottawa and Buffalo combined in twenty four to twenty five.
So that's forty games, twenty five with Ottawa the Senators
and fifteen with the Buffalo Savers, so twenty that's twenty

(49:55):
five block shots with the Sens, twenty five block shots
with the Savers. That's a total fifty if you do
really easy math. Average time on ice thirteen thirteen oh
six with Ottawa, fourteen fourteen and twenty eight with with Buffalo. Uh,

(50:17):
that's time on ice per game, so just just one
goal three assists each. With Ottawa and Buffalo, that's two goals,
six assists and the entire twenty twenty four to twenty

(50:42):
twenty five season. There's some extra stats right here. Shots
through percentage thirty five point nine point nine percent, even

(51:03):
strength thirty nine thirty five point nine. Power play doesn't show,
Shorthanded doesn't show except for fifty percent twenty twenty three,
twenty twenty four, five on five thirty six point eight.

(51:26):
Shots through percentage five on five and close games fifty
five percent, and then five on five and tiede games
fifty three point eight even strength all block shots all
twenty five block shots are on even strength five on

(51:50):
five five fourteen five on five and close games, and
then eight in tie game, eight block shots and tide
games on five on five Possession metrics Corsi four shots,
blocks and misses two hundred and seven, Coursy against in

(52:14):
all situations two hundred and eighteen, Coursy four percentage forty
eight point seven per game, Relative Coursey four percentage two
point four in even strength, Fenwick four in all situations
one hundred and fifty one, Thenwick against one hundred and fifty,
so that's a one, that's a one point. That's a

(52:38):
plus one point Fenwick advantage for Bernard docker Fenwick four
percentage in all situations fifty point two, and then relative

(53:01):
Fenwick four percentage in all situations four point seven. Offensive
zone percentage, offensive zone starting percentages in all situations fifty
fifty six point three, defensive zone start percentage forty three
point eight. That's one hundred point that's one hundred point

(53:27):
one percent, one hundred one point one percent. Rate metrics
and then miscellaneous stats. Expected goals against seven point two,
expected goals for nine point nine, expected plus minus plus

(53:48):
plus two point eight with Buffalo negative two point three
with Ottawa, so that's an improved movement with the Buffalo Sabers.
Then from from the time he was with the Ottawa

(54:08):
Senators and now John Van James van Riemsdyke. He's thirty
six years old. Drafted to two thousand and seven by
the Philadelphia Flyers last week. Lastly with the Columbus Blue Tackets.

(54:33):
Of course, sixteen goals, twenty twenty assists, thirty six points.
That's pretty good. A minus four, sixteen block shots, thirty
one hits heads an enforcer right there, one hundred and
eighteen in twenty thirteen twenty fourteen with the Maple Leafs

(54:54):
Toronto Maple Leafs. Yeah, he was a big hitter with
those leaves and then extra stats shots three percentage, fifty
seven point zero percent, face off wins, just six face

(55:16):
off losses fourteen to sixty six and fourteen with the
Columbus Blue Jackets. James Van Riemsdagduk is a lead winger,
not a center. Coursey four to Coursy Corsi against nine
oh two to eight forty one Coursy four percentage fifty

(55:41):
one percent to fifty one point seven percent with the
Jackets expected goals for thirty three point four expected goals
against thirty six point one expected plus minus of negative
two point six with the Blue Jackets one two, three, four, five, six,

(56:06):
seventy nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen. He's
entering season seventeen in the NHL. James Van Riemsdyke. Wow,
that's a long damn time. He's long in the he's
almost long in the tooth. He's thirty six years old.
He still has a little bit left in the take.
But how are the Red Wings going to use him?

(56:27):
That's the question. We'll find out and do time. Who
else we got, Tyler Mott, Tyler Motts has got has
got to go. Tyler Mott was a defenseman, right, yeah, Yeah,

(56:53):
he's gone. They released him negative eleven plus mind right there?
Mm hmm. Four and four goals, five assists, nine points.
That's it. So that's it for the Red Wings, of course,

(57:16):
and then we're gonna get to the Lions coming up next.
Isaac Tesla turns heads in the first two days of
Detroit Lions training camp. Once we'll get to right now,
Lions training can't camp notes, Yeah, Jared Goff, how about

(57:37):
Jared Goff's offense easily adjusting to offensive coordinator John Morton,
his schemes, his ways of ball security. It's really good.
That's that's the main thing, ball security, of course. Expected
exploring Detroit yet Matthew Judaan yep, of course, Atlanta Falcons

(58:04):
edge rusher Matthew Judon. Would you rather have him or
re sign Saderia Smith? Take your make your choice. But uh,
there were a couple uh chippy situations, one of them
between Aman Ross Saint Browns and Brian Branch in practice
and training camp, but both both scuffles were settled.

Speaker 2 (58:27):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (58:28):
The Lions have shown more passion, more fight seems seems
like seems it almost seemed like a few of their player,
the Lions players just couldn't get along with one another.
But but uh, it all settled. The dust is settled also. Uh.

(58:53):
Alex Anceloni has also practice has has finally practiced for
the first time this year in training camp that was
earlier today. But still no contract talks. I'm hearing the Lions. Yeah,
Detroit Sports Talk is hearing the Lions. The defense is
really good. There have been two fights with no pads

(59:14):
and seeing that our defense is going to be nasty
this year. Yeah, I can tell Hoky smokes bowlinkle. Yeah.
If you could subscribe to my YouTube channel, please do.
If you're already subscribed, good. The next step is the
next step is to share, get more people to subscribe.

(59:37):
But your thoughts on Alex Anceloni, but I want to
do some more screen sharing on Sacedaria Smith and Matt
Judon from the Falcons. Sadarius Smith defensive end of course

(59:58):
regular season. I mean I was zoning out to Calvin
and Hoff. Sorry, but anyway. Tackles, tackles, tackles, tackles for
losses three three of them last year with the Detroit line,
six of them with the Cleveland Browns after a Hutchinson

(01:00:21):
went down permanently for the rest of the season with
a broken fibula in that game in the Dallas the
Dallas Cowboys at AT and T Stadium. Quarterback hits seven
with Cleveland ten with Detroit assists on tackle, assist on

(01:00:43):
tackles eight with Cleveland five with with Detroit sacks I
think yep sacks five point five point zero with Cleveland
four point oh with Detroit floating one on one at
home against the Chicago Bears, MHM mm hmm on Thanksgiving Day,

(01:01:12):
that was before the Mitch Mitch Trubisky clock management mess
up that that lost the Bears. The game gave the
Lions they like a big gift, a big, a big
early Christmas gift, if you will, we all recall that
that was like hilarious, heavily hilarious. Of course, advanced defense

(01:01:37):
there we go. We got quarterback knockdowns two with Cleveland,
five with Detroit, quarterback hurries three with Cleveland, five with Detroit.
That slight progress. Completion completion percentage allowed on targets one

(01:02:01):
with Cleveland and one percent with Detroit because because the
h because the pass rush isn't getting held from the
secondary defense either. Receiving yards allowed on completions just twelve

(01:02:24):
with Cleveland, just thirteen with Detroit, both of them, both
of these are good, just twenty five total m past
rating allowed when targeted ninety one point seven with Cleveland,
one hundred eighteen one on an eighteen point seven with Detroit.
So that that's a decline right there. That's a regression

(01:02:49):
right there. And pass rating allowed yards per target, receiving
yards per time target at twenty five targets per six
game sixteen game pace required for leader boards six point
oh with Cleveland, thirteen point zero with Detroit. Well, look

(01:03:14):
at this mistackle percentage four point that's miss tackles divided
by miss plus combined tackles twenty five tackles per six
for per sixteen games pace required for leader boards four
point only four point two with Cleveland, twenty point oher
with Detroit. Oh man, my, oh my, oh my, just seriously, man,

(01:03:46):
snap counts defensively seventy percent with Minnesota, fifty nine percent
with Cleveland fifty eight. Well, oh, that's that's in twenty
twenty three, twenty twenty four, fifty eight percent with Cleveland,
sixty percent with Detroit. So yes, Sadaria Smith is thirty

(01:04:11):
two years old. And then you got Matt Judah on
five point five sacks with the Atlanta Falcons compared to
four point zero last in twenty twenty three last season
with the Patriots. His best season in terms of sacks

(01:04:33):
is fifteen point five with the Pats in twenty twenty
two in the twenty twenty two to twenty twenty three
NFL regular season. Twenty eight quarterback hits in that season,
thirty three his most His season high in twenty nineteen
with the Baltimore Ravens, and you got the Advanced defense

(01:04:58):
twenty eight blitzes with Atlanta compared to just nine with
New England in twenty twenty three. Mistackle percentage seven point
one in twenty twenty three with New England, twelve point
eight with in twenty twenty four with Atlanta. So that's

(01:05:23):
a bit of our regression there. But here's an improvement
right here. Completion percentage allowed on targets one hundred percent
with New England in twenty twenty three, but sixty sixty
three point six percent in twenty twenty four with Atlanta.

(01:05:45):
So forget the snap counts of course, except he's getting
a little bit less snaps with he got a little
bit less snaps with Atlanta. Stat percentage defensively seventy percent

(01:06:05):
with the New England in twenty twenty three. So there
you go. Those are the comparisons between Sadarius Smith and
Matt Judon. All right, let's uh get to some comments

(01:06:27):
before I tuned up Alexandeloni Top five Defense locket. If
you haven't heard a dose of die On, you got
to check them out. I'd say the best lions of
YouTube are out there. Of course, the Lions are mostly healthy.
Khalil Dorsey defensive back late camp, mckaia Wingo defensive line

(01:06:50):
in September. Yeah, those are the time injury recovery timetables,
and then Malcolm Rodriguez linebacker October, Miles Frasier offensive line
and with a knee injury back to September October, and
then Aline McNeil defensive linement in September. Hutchinson is back

(01:07:13):
to full strength as we all know it, Alex Angeloni,
as we all know as practice finally practiced today, as
I pointed out earlier, And I'm going to get to
him right about now as I turn on the screen
sharing one last time, Alex Anceloni. He's got one year left,

(01:07:35):
this is the last year out of his contract actually,
but he's got a void of one point two million
in twenty twenty six as he becomes an unrestricted free agent.
But right now, his base salary is six million, his
pro ration signing is one point two million, a roster

(01:07:57):
GM bonus of fifty eight thousand, eight hundred twenty four dollars.
He's thirty one years old right now, Alexandeloni, and he's
looking for a con he's still looking for a contract extension.
Still no talks as of right now. He's a valuable linebacker.

(01:08:25):
Let's recently closed tabs Detroit Lyons roster and players. Alexander Seloni.
There we go, left linebacker knock On Rodriguez is on

(01:08:48):
the right in the linebacker set, Jet Campbell, Middle linebacker
Ron Reguez, Right linebacker Alexan Sloni, the long haired, got
the long haired eighties hairband dude, There we go. Got

(01:09:12):
tackles for losses seven solo tackles, forty three combined tackles,
sixty three twenty assisted, just one sacked by Anceloni. But
those tackles are tackle numbers. Tackling numbers are tackle stats

(01:09:32):
are good for Anselo, that's still valuable. Pass rogers blitz
is forty nine just one hurry quarterback knockdowns four got
to combined tackles. Yes, as I already showed you that

(01:09:55):
completion percentage allowed on targets seventy two point seven two
hundred and ninety nine receiving yards allowed on completions complete
passes when targeted just forty, well, well forty is that
he had outed fifty six and twenty twenty three that's
his worst. Forty is his second worst from last year,

(01:10:22):
so he's kind of regressing it a little bit and
completions allowed and yeah, yeah, that's about it. So that's
it for Alex Anceloni. So yeah, I really want double
a here, but I can't give him more than seven

(01:10:44):
million dollars. Think about it. We got to resign Jack Campbell,
Brian Branch and Damas and Williams, I mean, Robinson, Hutchinson,
et cetera. Yeah, oh yeah, Brad Holmes has got a
lot of work to do and well as training camp
rolls along. So it's time for what we've learned segment

(01:11:10):
before we wrap things up. For the Tigers, if you
don't score, you don't win. Simple at all sports. The
Tigers have shown they no longer want to score runs.
They want they no longer want to score runs, let
alone win games. And then the Pistons signing Colby Jones
to a two way contract. He's easily going to be
a minor league with a minor league with a Motor

(01:11:32):
City Cruise. The Red Wings advanced stats like I showed you.
Of course, Mason Appleton has some flaws, of course, but
he but does But again, like I recalled telling you
people that he could be very good on the on

(01:11:55):
the penalty kill, of course. And then James Van Riemsdyke
bringing veteran presence sixteen goals twenty assists for the Blue
Jackets last season. John Gibson a very good up, a
very significant uptick in in goaltender metrics. So those are

(01:12:19):
and then the Lions of course, training camp eventful, not
very many significant injuries, none of them well if any.
Jared Goff adjusting his offense, the offense adjusting to John
Morton's schemes of course, and drills and whatnot, practices, everything

(01:12:47):
just got a show a lot of passion with those
two strums, of course, but they're they're they're trying to
get better and better and better and better. Of course,
Alexandloni finally practice. But yeah, this is the last year

(01:13:08):
of his contract and he's looking for a contract extension.
