The Tigers have gone 2-14 in their past 16. If and when they turn it around, they could record a tailored version of Another One Bites The Dust.

Our worst fear has come true. Cleveland sweeps four.

the Tiger debate is becoming like the Candelario debate. Are they a bad team that had a good stretch, or a good team that's having a bad stretch? 

Despite the pitching injuries they've had, the staff is managing to throw winnable games. I just don't have much confidence that adding one solid but not spectacular bat in Torres and one mediocre at best bat in Baez is any kind of slam dunk remedy for this offense.

McGonigle, Keith and Torkelson have all had bad months.  They could come back too.  They were scoring enough in April to win games and they could get back to that.  Odds are against the team right now, but I am not ready to give up in May.

I wish we could hear what Andy and Jason talk about during commercial breaks. I would really like to know how they really feel about this Tigers team and season.

That is depressing to think about.  I am looking for the Tigers to get healthy and get hot.  It seems like teams usually don't get great prospects for rentals at the deadline.  Teams like the Dodgers just give up their flawed prospects.  Looking forward to another Thayron Liranzo and Trey Sweeney haul.  

And all they got was two months of Jack Flaherty so I think we got the better end of that little deal.

They’re an organization that built a division favorite but that still has to field a team when a lot of their good guys get injured.

A third of the way into the season and the Tigers are now a sub-.400 team. I don’t think even tiger2022 saw that one coming. 😉

Det is 30-53 in their last 83 reg season games. Kind of a bipolar team. And I believe they have a strong stretch on the horizon, given several key players are about to return

Thats who I was thinking. Too lazy to look it up, or just didn't care.

I wish the Tigers only got two months of Sweeney!  

It terms of WAR, the Tigers have lost that deal so far.  However, that is not the point.  The point is fans always think their team can get great prospects at the deadline and they usually just get players the other team doesn't want to keep that badly.

For what it’s worth, Sweeney did help us get to the playoffs during pitching chaos ‘24.

I don’t understand how you can be one of the best teams for over a half season and turn into one of the worst over the same time period with largely the same roster.

That's one of great things about Harris never making big transactions.  You can do a longitudinal analysis!

Tigers record from 7/1/24 - 6/30/25: 101-62

Tigers record from 7/1/25 - 5/21/26: 54-73

Mostly the same roster for both periods.You could argue that their roster has been somewhat "better" in the latter period.
