Nope, but if you are excited about a team that gets shutout anytime they face an average or better pitcher...to quote you "so be it" and "but whatever."

I would love them to get embarrassed repeatedly so there will be some sort of change...i.e. new manager, better players, etc. That worked for the WSox, right? The Tigers won't change their business plan just because of game results. Every business wants to keep overhead down. The Tigers payroll is overhead and the lower it goes, the more money they make. Gotta watch that bottom line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdog Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 (edited) 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. Edited June 16 by kdog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they won't, but it's still cool to see a no hitter. Not sure why some posters are taking it personally that someone wants to see a no hitter.

But I'm not going to make excuses for the horrible roster decisions our management makes. Not gonna be a slappy and defend their not even caring about the product the suckers...err...fans have to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdog Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 (edited) 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. Edited June 16 by kdog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, hopefully -- it's because they have told him to swing at more pitches in the zone and learn to reach more of them and this is the beginning of an adjustment period. The last couple games he does seem to be taking a lot fewer pitches in the zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it would be cooler if I knew the pitcher was doing something extraordinary, but if you no-hit this team the way its playing now it should go in the books with an asterisk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s as simple as what @Sports_Freak said earlier. Maybe he’s just fallen off of the cliff this year. Father Time is undefeated.

It’d be interesting to see just how volatile the Tiger offensive routs are vs it’s normal output. What percentage of these games are outliers to it’s normal distribution, and how does that compare to the rest of the league? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
