Tigers Today podcast: Dan Petry pinch-hits, talks mini-surge, Báez situation

Tony Paul and Bally Sports Detroit analyst Dan Petry talk about the Tigers' improved record after 17 games (7-10) and how AJ Hinch handled Javier Báez's baserunning gaffe.

Petry, a former Tigers pitcher and member of the 1984 World Series champion, said Detroit has played well during this 5-1 stretch but he feels the Tigers can play even better as they head to Baltimore.

"When the club's record was 2-9, you're just 11 games in and you're saying, 'They can't continue this,'" Petry said on the podcast. "It would be an extremely long season. They started playing better baseball and that's exactly what AJ Hinch was talking about.
