Baez clearly strikes out more and walks less. However, when he connects, he's a much better hitter, hitting for much more power. Perez was just a weak hitter for the Tigers. Sure, he made more contact, but that did a lot less damage than when Baez makes contact. They are not a similar type of hitter at all.

That's all true, but it does show that 100 losses is all within the realm of possibilities this year.

The Tigers would have to go 50-73 the rest of the way to avoid losing 100 games. That's a .407 winning%. Currently they are playing .333, on pace for a 54-108 record.

Step 1: Fire Coolbaugh.

Any mistakes that AJ Hinch makes.

Is there a reason why they don't want to stretch out Wily Peralta to be a starter? With all the starting pitchers dropping like flies and his experience in starting, seems like they would have done this weeks ago. What's their reasoning for keeping him in the arm barn?

I would get rid of both Avila and Hinch, similar to how they got rid of both Randy Smith and Phil Garner 20 years ago. Start fresh all around, although I would to keep Fetter.

They are already at the new level. What do you think?

Did you ever get the feeling that the players are purposely not giving 100% because they are trying to get the manager fired?

Do we still like the Baez signing? Barnhart? Rodriguez? Baddoo? If Avila hasn't made any bad moves in 2 years, why do so many people want him fired?

The ones that people are currently blaming Avila for.

So even more things to blame Hinch on.

The Tigers just need to win one of the their next two games to have a better record than their horrible start from last year. And then win 9 of their next 11 to keep pace.

They didn't have to replace Baddoo on the roster with a relief pitcher. I don't know who's decision that was, but it was the wrong one.

Tigers aren't even threatening anymore.

Never mind, Hinch is better than I thought he was.

But the Tigers pitching is better now.

And people wonder why I don't like Hinch.

Do you remember when our keystone combo were Gordon Beckham and Jordy Mercer?

He's also already on the 40-man roster, so they wouldn't have to expose anyone to waivers.

Don't worry. I question Hinch's decisions all the time.

From May 8 on, the Tigers went 68-61 last year.

If they don't improve, can we then blame Hinch?

Cincinnati has a team ERA of 6.90.
