After giving the city of Detroit and the Lions a well deserved hat tip for an unprecedented NFL draft weekend, the guys get right to business addressing the must-see TV pitching of Tarik Skubal. The guys thought the ace could seriously contend for a Cy Young Award at the start of the season, how do his numbers add up against his peers and where is he at in the conversation so far? After covering Skubal’s heat, the guys shift to a much colder subject and focus in on the team’s puzzling offense. While an immediate answer eludes both the front office and the “Days of Roar” crew, the guys focus in on the offensive issues of Parker Meadows and Colt Keith. Could either benefit from a stint in AAA? Mark and Evan also continue to scratch their heads at a drastically underperforming Spencer Torkleson.
