The Tigers are off to their patented hot start.
They may just have the reinforcements to sustain it this year.
For the fourth consecutive season of manager Brad Ausmus? tenure, the Detroit Tigers have gotten off the blocks in a hurry. With four series under their belts, the Tigers have yet to lose one, and stand at 8-4, ahead of the surprising Minnesota Twins by one game. The Tigers are also tied for the best record in the American League with the Houston Astros. These are all good things, and none better than getting the early jump on the Cleveland Indians. But of course, we?ve seen this before.

The problem in most of those seasons has been the inevitable corrections that come in late April and May. Just last season we saw the Tigers? hot start fizzle in the second half of April, and fade from memory during a brutal nine-game losing streak in May. The Tigers aren?t going to play .667 ball the rest of the way, and that?s fine. What can?t happen, is to let the good start slip away to the point where they have to start all over again in June.

Fortunately, there are still reinforcements on the way. J.D. Martinez appears to be close to rejoining the team in Tampa this week, though he won?t be ready to play in the series. Martinez has ramped up to running at 75 percent of his body weight on an anti-gravity treadmill, very close to the 80 percent threshold at which point he could start practicing on the field again. Unfortunately, hopes on an early return are probably unreasonable, as Martinez has still experienced soreness in his foot after the treadmill sessions. Until he can run without any discomfort, the Tigers won?t let him resume full baseball activities. He is, however, scheduled to rejoin the team in batting practice on Tuesday.

The addition of Martinez?s bat isn?t the only thing the Tigers have to look forward to. Blaine Hardy will again be eligible for a call-up for the Tampa series. Beyond him, Joe Jimenez has torched Triple-A hitters since his demotion. His return will be a welcome sight for Tigers? fans, assuming the team wises up and gets him back in the majors where he belongs as soon as possible. Having some real talent available to add into the mix may be just the thing to stave off their May blues as the excitement of the first few weeks gives way to the grind of the long regular season.

If Justin Verlander is tipping, it?s the Indians who continue to eat.
Amidst Verlander?s disastrous Saturday start against the Indians, in which they hammered him for nine runs and three home runs, were concerns from Verlander and the Tigers that he may be tipping his pitches. Considering Daniel Norris and Matt Boyd?s dominant 12 innings with less stuff in their two starts, the idea that the Indians had the Tigers? signs seems highly unlikely. Still the Tigers aren?t the first to suspect the Indians of sign stealing. With the advent of video review personnel studying the game in slow motion for each team, it?s probably surprising we don?t hear more about it.

These sign stealing accusations are BS. Execute your pitches better, Tigers.

Still, I?ve never quite understood why teams take such offense at the suggestion that they?re getting signs. ?Stealing? seems the wrong word for something that isn?t against the rules and has been practiced throughout the game?s history. Hitters such as Carlos Santana and Lonnie Chisenhall have both faced Verlander for years, and have tagged him for a lot of home runs. Poor location, combined with good left-handed hitting, is the problem here. Either way, signs don?t get stolen. They?re given away by incautious teams.
