All the close low scoring games they were winning in March and April with low strand rates and clutch bullpen performance….that regresses to a point where we are now. If we could score more runs and have a three or four run lead occasionally, it would reduce the leverage that bullpen is under constantly. The offense isn’t going to get fixed anytime in the near future, so we will have to deal with this.

1-3 on the road trip thus far...scored 2 runs total in the 3 losses...and there aren't any answers for that. Just have to hope that they have a random day where guy hits a bunch of singles.

Will Vest and Shelby Miller in high leverage....good stuff.

They invent new ways to not get a hit with runners on base.

If Vest is your first option in a one run game, you are not serious.

Is this season was about seeing young players fail, that has been accomplished.

No offense, I can't take you seriously until you a wear a pink polo like Dombrowski.

This lineup against Fried is unfair lol.

I missed the news that Alex Lange suffered an 'upper body' injury in Toledo. Hinch and the Tigers are not optimistic about it.

They are 3-7 since winning on June 4th. In the 3 wins, they have scored 30 runs; In the seven losses, they have scored 15 runs. Carpenter injury and Tork failure are huge issues obviously.

If Tigers brass wasn't embarassed about the last 8 years, one ho-hum loss in June 2024 isn't going to do it lol.

Today and Friday's game are about the same...non competitive offense and the games will barely last two hours...Saturday was nice.

No hitter over...now it's a just normal shutout.

I don't think it would matter even if had a 1.000 OPS. They're probably looking for real mechanical fixes. But with the difference between AAA and MLB, it's hard to know if he's fixed until he comes back up.

Maeda gave them 5 mediocre innings...which is about the best outcome.

Two shutouts sandwiched around 13 runs is so fitting for this team lol. That's why the offense is improved in the aggregate. They have more explosive games but the baseline is about the same.

Once again, this tweet is our existence:

Pacheco is still young…but the contact skills just have not developed.

When Dickerson is the backup for Benetti, you have it good. Of course, it would help if half of Detroit could see the games.

That should be enough of Mason Englert for awhile.

Tack on a few more runs so it's Wentz and Miller proof; Get Flaherty his 5 innings and go home.

Thank you Justin Verlander's neck.

Verlander scratched with neck discomfort…Spencer Arrighetti vs Jack Flaherty.
