Thoughts on the Tigers' 3-2 loss to the Royals Wednesday

There is no way to look at today's outing by Joaquin Benoit's and not be concerned. Tigers manager Jim Leyland should strongly consider flipping roles and making Octavio Dotel their primary setup man.

Justin Verlander is not Super Human, after all,. Last season, he was. But don't forget, even though Verlander posted exceptional numbers by the end of the season, his April numbers were not that impressive. They were just impressive compared to the past when he had struggled mightly in April.

The Tigers are not hitting, but there reasons for it. They are not taking opposing pitchers deep into the count. Today they had very few quality at bats early in the game. They made it easy in Royals' starter Jonathan Sanchez.
