April is brutal lol

[mhughes0021]

K, so i was getting all excited for the season to start and went over to espn to take a look at the schedule and my buzz quickly wore. Series' against the 3 tough AL East teams plus Texas all in one month. I love our team but even if your the best team in MLB youll have some tough times against that schedule. Should be a good test right out of the gate.

Tough April just means an easier month down the road. Plus, I like playing good teams. You can see where you're at.

 

[tonyballs]

Bring it.

 

[deathroh]

Yeah, if there's one thing I hate, it's good baseball games! Nothing takes away excitement like that...

 

[tycobb420]

Bring back the balanced schedule!!! lol

14 of 23 @ Comerica Park.
There's nothing brutal about that.
As long as our players adjust well to Michigan's weather, I would be ecstatic entering May with a 14-9 record.

End each month +5 in the win column makes for a spectacular season (96-66).
I'll take that in a heartbeat.

KC is the team that gives them fits.

It's not so much the teams it's how many at the start of the season when all there good starters will be fresh and just how many number ones will the Tigers catch in April with all the early off days. A team can turn the rotation over without using a 5th starter. Some can even restart thiers. Like Seattle and Oakland, when you look at that setup. It looks better than one would think.
