that makes them a nightmare for teams to scheme against right now. It's kind of hard for me to say because I don't think I've ever had guys that could do the same things so well. But it look completely different. The skill sets are unique and I just don't know that I've thought about, you know, a collection of backs playing together that can do the same things but just doing a little bit differently. >> I think they they're both very unique in their own way but we're lucky to have them both. I mean you look around the league I don't know how mean you guys have two guys that you can feel so confident in and they do both bring a little different style And that's what makes it dangerous is you can't really prepare for just one of them. You got to prepare for both of them. And you know, sometimes we're able to get both of them on the field and that makes it even harder. But yeah, it's it's fun to have them lions back at home on Sunday to take out another familiar playoff opponent in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Of course Detroit beat the Bucs 3123 in the divisional round of last year's playoffs kick off is at one. And at practice today there were four notable absences including offensive lineman Penei Sewell. He's dealing with an ankle injury. D linemen Marcus Davenport and D-backs Iffy 211 Will and Kirby Joseph were also absent from practice today. >> Iraqis are in town and Kyle Freeland is the starting pitcher. He first got involved with the Special Olympics when his host mom when he was playing rookie ball out in Grand Junction was involved in the Challenger program which is part of the Special Olympics Colorado Chapter's. >> After meeting even more teams on an off day in 2018 aligned with the Special Olympics USA Games, some new perspective inspired the Denver native to find a new way to give back. >> To see them compete in their camaraderie, their chemistry, their sportsmanship was just off the charts and really hit home really put a lot of things in perspective for me in life in general not not trying to take this game too seriously At times we do and it's a nice little not reality check but it humbles you and realize there's a lot bigger things in life than just baseball in the spirit of baseball, a creative idea from a former teammate has helped Freeland and his wife raise approximately $40,000 over the last six seasons by raffling off special gloves like this. >> Adam Ottavino actually was the one who kind of gave me the idea. He came into spring training one year with a wacky design glove. He said he just was sitting in traffic in New York one day and he had to get his custom gloves in. So he did that Me? It's kind of a good idea to for for a raffle thing was so special with it so continue to do that and we've been doing it for a few years raised some really good money getting some sign from from teammates and opponents in the game to help raise money for Special Olympics for the final third of the season Freeland gives away batting practice passes and tickets to away games this week being in Detroit in exchange for donating to the fundraiser And the winner gets his purple glove drawn at the end of the season. >> And of course the Tigers are on fire right now Their fourth straight win tonight thanks to four hits by Carrie Carpenter there. They're still three games back with the twins when they're
