Time to start thinking about baseball! OK, so if you're here you never stopped thinking about baseball. Today we got two pieces of news: The local broadcast schedule for spring training, and the return of TigerTalk to the airwaves.

TigerTalk, a one-hour "hot stove" radio program,  will be broadcast weekly at 7 p.m. on either Mondays or Tuesdays on 97.1 FM in Detroit (and streaming on Tigers.com) up until spring training opens. Tigers radio play-by-play announcer Dan Dickerson and Oakland Press columnist Pat Caputo will co-host the show. Tigers manager Brad Ausmus will be a guest tonight.

Those dates:

Monday, Jan. 6 at 7 p.m. 
Monday, Jan. 13 at 7 p.m. 
Tuesday, Jan. 21 at 7 p.m. 
Monday, Jan. 27 at 7 p.m. 
Tuesday, Feb. 4 at 7 p.m. 
Tuesday, Feb. 11 at 7 p.m. 
Monday, Feb. 17 at 7 p.m.

Once spring training arrives, plenty of games will be on TV or radio. The dates for Fox Sports Detroit are March 10 vs. the Cardinals, March 13 vs. the Marlins, March 23 vs. the Marlins and March 27 vs. the Braves. Of course, expect a few additional games to air on ESPN and (possibly tape delayed) on MLB Network. That's the way it generally works. Twenty-two games will be on the radio as well.
