Take out the 13-0 game and they are barely over 2 runs/game. The offense will come eventually. The persistent problems with outfield defense are not getting fixed. Two of the guys are our best hitters. The infield defense and sloppiness will correct itself if the Castros don't play as much. But that depends on Jeimer and Schoop hitting.

There's plenty of time for a 75 win season. If we are repeating 2021, it's just walking in place. I'm not sure you can really blame anyone aside from Avila and his boss. They decided on scorched earth tanking and nothing else. This is the end result.

You can't bring him up to sit 5 days a week. And Hill is a better defender who makes more contact. Cameron doesn't have a role unless his bat plays.

Hinch has not had a good start. But this is entirely about Avila's failure to develop everyday players outside of the tanking draft picks. They don't have any guys to fill in gaps when injuries come up. They revamped the entire development staff only last year and Avila's role is more ceremonial right now. Things have to be happening behind the scenes when you are tanking so you are ready to succeed when all the kids are ready. They did nothing. We are still playing the Castros, Vic Reyes, etc.

The rebuild never got out of the starting block. You can't be a serious organization and play the Castros. Avila has already been marginalized. They are still bad. We just have to be patient.

We have a 1945 offense lol....station to station where the train derails routinely.

All singles offense.

Baseball isn't a rant and rave emotional game. It's mostly about calculated execution. I'm sure Hinch and the players are pissed. But the guys they think are core players this year have been multiple factors below replacement level. I'm sure they'll turn it around after starting 10-25 or whatever. But they will have wasted any goodwill from the offseason.

bases loaded and the guy with the best hitting approach on the team is at-bat. All you can ask for IMO.

62mph scorching grounder from Schoop.

The barrel %...look away it's hideous.

Tigers offense has solved baseball's pace of play problem. Should be a tidy 2 hours 20 minutes tonight.

Tigers have maybe 3 hard hit balls in play....9 strikeouts. Just frigging inept.

Baddoo is going to be the first demotion....no question in my mind.

They certainly have more talent on paper vs 2021. But it isn't working.

Pineda doesn't miss bats...and sometimes those bats have huge exit velocities....this one is ovah(Hawk Harrelson).

Haase makes it 4...he's a meathead who is only in the lineup to slug....he has no utility if he can't drive the ball.

The Riley Greene injury had so many domino effects.

Jake Rogers was ready last year to become our long term catcher. Then he gets Tommy John. Now we have Haase(inferior defender) pinch hitting for Barnhart late in games and have to suffer the consequences. And Haase isn’t even delivering the isolated power he showed last year(SSS).

Mickey Mouse baseball.

This outing wins a lot of games for a good team. One bad pitch and the second inning where he wriggled out of trouble.
