It’s another off day so we (and the team too) get to stew over that truly offensive performance over the weekend for another day. Hopefully, Seattle pitchers are the cure for what ails the Tigers, but with King Felix in the mix, who knows?

Leyland had an old-school quote sort of related to this after Saturday’s game. I can’t remember the exact wording, but it was along the lines of “People talk about OPS and that’s great, but gimme a guy who can drive in a run.”

to go 1-26 can only be described as a fluke. It’s a long season, you see streaks go both ways. And far as i remember, that one came in the second inning of the first game, didn’t it?

still, it was not fun to watch the futility all weekend, and the tigers are near the bottom in many statistical categories, so it really didn’t surprise anyone much either.

he was doing a lot of “suicide” plays and manufacturing runs. Complacency does not suit us well. But I still have tons of faith in Tigers. They are a team full of scrappers. I never count them out of anything until after the last strike. In spite of Leyland.
