A Relief The Tigers Took A Big Swing With Valdez | The Valenti Show with Rico

20 comments

1. Here before people can trash Rico! Best duo in sports

2. We are better after the signing. Now we need a bat and take more big swings

3. Over the course of a 2 hour discussion about this signing, Rico was unable to present a single point other than he was confused by the timing of it due to the Skubal arbitration hearing lmao. I'm not sure he'd ever heard of Valdez before last night.

4. My theory: Illitch finally realized people perceived him as being cheap despite his lame attempts to hide it and having burned his bridges with Skubul realized this was the only option to dispel that perception. Theory #2 Mom talked to him and said he is destroying dad's legacy.

5. 4:50 Rico is unbelievable man, 5 minutes into the show he's off in space watching TV instead of being engaged in the conversation. Glad Mike actually called him out

6. Rico not understanding the difference btween Arb and Free Agent markets is so cringe.

   It's okay if fans don't get it. They aren't paid to know shit about ball.

   But it's embarrassing for a professional sports commentator to be constantly confused about basic things.

7. Good move but go get a BATTTT 😂

8. Rico is the worst

9. I'm betting that he never cross pitch calls on Dingler

10. mikes bummed the tigers made a good signing

11. We need a right hand bat and a 3rd baseman or we are not winning shit!!!!!

12. Rico just saying anything 😂

13. You run a podcast, you have no idea what it’s like to be tired after running a MLB franchise. So take your opinions and predictions and go run a fantasy league.

14. I was nice to year your voice again Mike. I grew up in Detroit listening to 97.1 almost more or less everyday for years and years. Ive been out of the city for several years now but still watch all Detroit spots but haven't listed to the ticket in forever. It was great to listen to you again!

15. Rico cant think for himself but he can stretch a word. He belongs on the sat/sun radio to where they need to fill hours and he can copy everyone else.

16. So do we still trade Skubal at the deadline, while potentially in a playoff hunt or lose him for nothing at the end of the season?

17. I do not understand the Tigers. Apparently they are willing to spend $40 million on a pitcher. So why not spend it on Skubal????

18. Cracks me up how the Rico haters *STILL* don’t understand this show is all role-playing and get all pissy 🤣🤣🤣

19. Rico takes so long to say nothing.

20. I can't listen to Rico former than 30 seconds. I guess the lead guy needs his sidekick to look so bad, he looks that much smarter or is not a threat to him. Obama had Biden. Biden had Harris. Harris had Walz.
