Tigers Pitchers making this a breezy Spring.
from Detroit Athletic

The pitching staff is leading the majors in strikeouts while so far sitting around major-league average in issuing bases on balls. Those first 300 strikeouts were accompanied by about 90 walks for a very nice whiff-to-walk ratio of 3.3 to 1. This kind of dominance seems to be contagious. Yes, you need stuff, and the Tigers? four aces have it in spades, but pitchers definitely learn from other pitchers on their team, and can you imagine the clubhouse conversations among the big four starters? (?I got this guy to swing at my change,? ?I fooled this guy with a slider down and away,? etc. etc. It must be a real litany of conquests.)

While the pitching staff excels in missing bats, the Tigers? offense excels in making contact and in drawing walks. The team is in the bottom third of the majors in striking out, with only 201 through May 4. But the club is in the top five in on-base percentage, batting average, total bases, slugging, and almost all the other most important offensive categories.

Bryce Harper and the most egregious player vs. umpire incidents of the season.
from SI

Altogether, six of the player ejections have stemmed from ball/strike calls (including check swings), three, including the Quentin incident, have been the result of hit batsmen, and just one followed a disputed safe/out call on the bases. Here then are the five most problematic umpire-player run-ins from the season to date, not all of which have resulted in an actual ejection of the player in question webvideos.

Topics:
Where were we last week?

Who are all these new writers at Bless You Boys?

Justin Verlander, no-hitters and pitch counts.

The strikeout streak, cool or meaningless?

Miguel Cabrera is on pace for an MLB record 194 RBI.

Lineups, or in the words of a vocal minority, why is Don Kelly playing again?

Bruce Rondon was clearly not ready, so why was he anointed the closer last winter?

Looking ahead to Bryce Harper and the Nationals and the Indians with their star AL player of the week, Ryan Raburn!

Are the Astros just plain bad, or can they be 1962 Mets or 2003 Tigers bad?

What in the Hell happened to the Angels?

Does any team in the Central scare you?
