Show Notes

Mark and Evan discuss the fallout of Spencer Torkelson's demotion to Triple-A Toledo. As the ballclub hovers around the .500 mark, the guys have a tough conversation on the options available to the team and their future competitiveness. Later in the pod, the guys are thrilled to welcome on to the pod former Detroit Tigers pitcher and current Bally Sports Detroit studio analyst Dan Petry. The guys get Petry's perspective on pitching, Torkelson's move, Tarik Skubal's Cy Young campaign, the 1984 World Series Championship team, and the nickname "Peaches." Also in the pod, Mark and Evan talk Kerry Carpenter's injury and Justyn-Henry Malloy's call up.
