  1. They just are not capable of getting high leverage outs in close games…blame whoever you want.
  2. https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/detroit-tigers/overview They are your 4th and 5th highest paid players.
  3. Jansen and Finnegan haven't pitched in 3 days and Hinch has not trust in either of them. Just terrible.
  4. They have all had horrible moments in leverage. Two outs walks, then an immediate homers...it's just a cluster of bad outcomes.
  5. The fringy bullpen guys like Anderson, Sommers, DeJesus, etc have been decent. Holton, Finnegan, Vest, and Jansen have been putrid.
  6. That is the 3rd road series win of the year.. San Diego, Tampa, and the Yankees..3 decent teams.
  7. The Tigers are playing basically how the team was designed to start the season..they just had a 4-21 stretch where everything went wrong. Offense was ok when healthy, now it's reliant on guys who aren't consistent enough aside from McGonigle and Dingler.
  8. This is why you can't go 6-21....I'm not upset about these losses. They can't handle a decent lefty starter with what they have. The Yankees won two low event games with slugging. Tigers countered with station to station.
  9. I have reached the acceptance stage.
  10. another low event, low scoring game...not happening.
  11. Every bullpen guy has had multiple implosions lol.
  12. Tigers haven't won a game scoring 3 or fewer runs since May 15th vs Toronto(3-2). The bullpen is awful and defense is putrid. They have no chance in a low event/low scoring game. Good fight to get the lead but they weren't getting 6 clean outs.
  13. That was his last gasp of positivity. IF there isn't any improvement in the next few days, he will be gone by the weekend.
  14. He's either doing this Jones thing to prove a point or he is on borrowed time. Either way, you cannot burn Carpy in the 4th inning where you will need 8+ runs. This is abysmal.
  15. The homer to E-Sock was a cutter with no movement...just flat down and right in the happy zone.
  16. We can complain..but they don't have any pivots. The platoons have to hit and that's it.
  17. There is no chance that their models projected that Jahmai Jones was going to repeat his outlier platoon from last year. But you keep him around becuase there is no risk associated with him...and if he fails maybe another 4A platoon guy drops off the back of a truck. But we have to watch a guy 2 for his last 40 in advantageous platoon situations..I guess we are the suckers.
  18. Tork is going nowhere. There's no right handed 'power' anywhere in baseball and Tigers have nothing in the minors.
  19. The ability to truthfully assess your own roster is a huge skill for good execs...Malignant optimism is a thing. Every guy will repeat last year and we will bang our head against the wall doing the same thing until it's too late.
  20. Tigers have scored 10 runs in 6 games vs Cleveland.
  21. He's prestaging all the pinch hitting opportunities.
  22. Hao-Yu Lee was optioned not Zach Short.
