The Tigers are a very good team, we just need to get healthy. Pitching depth, or lack of, is really showing up. Once we get Skubal, Melton, Vest, Javy and Torres back, we'll go on a roll. We just need to survive the next month or so. Luckily, our division stinks. Chins up, it'll get better.

I don't know whether we come back this year, but I agree that the Tigers are at the core a good team and getting better overall, but that the pile-up of injuries—which no team, except maybe only the Dodgers, has the depth to overcome—is on the verge of ruining our chances this year.

Non competitive AB by Torkelson there.

He has been given to that problem his entire career.

I think Tork might be one of those guys who come into the majors expecting to excel on the sheer force of his innate talent—an easy psychological trap to fall into for a #1 overall pick—such that they don't work so hard to maximize it. Miggy was that way, too, but then, Miggy was innately otherwordly talented in a way Tork could never even dream of working his way to be.
