Just go all in for the tank now? Wouldn’t take much effort.

The Season of Suck continues

this team sucks.

who is the genius that put this team together?

I don't know why there are Harris slappies to be honest.  Outside of signing Valdez and drafting McGonigle, he has done absolutely nothing to improve the roster since he was hired.

I don’t think the gritty Tigers exist anymore. I don’t think it's a choice to tank or not.

I don't recall ever seeing so many hr walk-offs in such a short period of time. Ever

Especially with 2 out. Totally cruel.

Running outta Avila players...<ducks>

[IdahoBert]

This team is snake bit. If they’d had a 3-1 lead, Finnegan would’ve probably given up two runs in the bottom of the ninth anyway and we would’ve still lost in extra innings.

Now AJ will never call for a bunt again.

How in the world did this bullpen get so insanely bad so quickly.

I think he is liked because Avila was bad and because Harris is their first real analytical GM.  I definitely like that they have moved in that direction.  However, I am not sure whether he is a cooker cutter analytic GM or whether he will prove to be one of the good ones.

Might want to just start trading guys who still have four limbs before the leprosy outbreak in the clubhouse.

Edman has a theory that teams have picked up on some of the bullpen "magic" they have use in the last couple of years.  He may have a point.    

[papalawrence]

I'm beyond frustrated and almost fully apathetic. But the injuries matter. As talented as Atlanta has been, they've missed the playoffs due to injuries. They're healthy now and maybe the best team in baseball. If reasonable healthy this is probably an 84 win team. It is snake bitten. The baseball gods are evening things out because they over performed the last 2 years

or it's just lack of power pitching, which still has a lot of utility in a BP.

Not enough difference in velocity between pitchers perhaps?

well, Brieske throws hard, if he can hold together for any period of time.

According to baseruns (the # of runs a team should have scored/allowed based on H, BB, HR, etc), the Tigers should have scored 4.05 runs per game and allowed 4.09. That would be a 28-29 record. Bad sequencing on both sides of the ball.

Please do not show this to Scott Harris or he will be broadcasting it as a reason for still not making changes.

I think it suggests they have had poor situational hitting and pitching...which most of us have noticed.  I don't expect any  changes for now.  They are kind of stuck until they get healthy.
