The once a week save opportunities are strenuous.

Nope. That affects themselves in return. They lower their own individual values by doing such. In all honesty, I find the theory of the Tigers simply mailing it in right now to sabotage management to be absolutely and unequivocally asinine and probably without any shred of critical thought. But that's just my opinion.

All of the expected regular Tiger position players have an OPS+ on the the season lower than that of their career (exception for Torkelson solely because he's a rookie). Well, ok, do we consider the Castros & Hill as regulars? They are OPS+ing this season above their career line. That's really all there is to this awful start. And while we are clamoring for Clemens (or even Short) to get a call up, he's only one bat which may or may not hit if promoted, and at least 2/3 of the lineup has not lived up to their expectations. I really don't think the lack of hitting can be blamed specifically on Avila. I think that falls on the hitters themselves, and maybe the coaching staff if they've revised the hitting philosophies. Now, Avila is culpable for the lack of options on the 40 and in Toledo, so he certainly has a hand in the sluggish start up.

Why wait?

Torkelson with a nice play there, leaping to snare the throw and tag the hitter out at 1B.

See when Wentz is sent down after the game, which pitcher will be promoted to help the struggling offense?
-
Yet. It’s only mid May.
-
Well, they shouldn’t do that without seeing if they can hit a baseball first.

What are you drinking?

Some kid named Mays struggled in his debut. After the homer, Mays went on a 0-for-13 slide, leaving him hitting .038 (1-for-26). At this point, in an often-told story, Willie sat in front of his locker, crying, after taking the collar again. Coaches Freddie Fitzsimmons and Herman Franks sent for Durocher. Mays again said he couldn’t hit big-league pitching. Durocher replied, “As long as I’m the manager of the Giants, you are my center fielder. … You are the best center fielder I’ve ever looked at.”24 Then he told Mays to hitch up his pants more to give himself a more favorable strike zone. Willie then went on a 14-for-33 tear.

Jerk Sox and Jerk Sawx?

It makes me happy to see others using this.
-
That's ok, Hurling Harold is around if need be.
-
I wouldn't expect Wentz to go too deep into the game today.

-
Must be showcasing him for a trade.

The pitching has been good. The Tigers need to find out if Chris Fetter has a twin brother that knows coaching hitting. Baez on defense is fun. You want to talk about unwatchable, the previous SS play that the Tigers had is unwatchable compared to what Baez has done in his short time as a Tiger.

Heck, maybe they need to pound some Budweiser and go Bills’ mafia on some tables?
-
Maybe he’ll pitch one game and play LF in the other.
-
Oh, wow, I forgot he was a player to be named later in the David Wells deal.
-
Have they tried using a table leg for a bat?
-
Then pull Garcia up tomorrow as the extra player. They've taken a poorly constructed roster and made it more poorly constructed.
-
Awesome. Short on position players. Position player down, pitcher up. Now if Hinch puts CastroW out in the OF, its tougher to blame him given the roster composition. But it should be Grossman, Hill, and Meadows.

What's our exit velocity?
