BYB Podcast Episode 29: The Boys are Back in Motown

After a road trip that saw the Detroit Tigers finally flex a little offensive muscle, the club returns home to meet up with Justin Verlander and the Houston Astros. Some of the young guys are contributing, and we'll take a look at their vital signs, as well as examining and speculating irresponsibly about the Rod Allen/Mario Impemba kerfuffle.

• The Tigers have finally found a bit of power as players like Mikie Mahtook, Niko Goodrum, Dawel Lugo, and Ronny Rodriguez have brought a spark to a miserable lineup.
• Daniel Norris is back and we’re happy.
• Pennant races are shaping up with a wild finish expected in the National League.
• Shohei Ohtani is amazing, Sean Doolittle and Ian Kinsler are fun, and sometimes amazing.
• The service time games continue to look bad, and may herald part of a contentious collective bargaining agreement.
