Bless You Boys Tigers blog Podcast 41: Is this season a grease, tire or dumpster fire?
1 Hour 20 minutes.

Topics:
What's wrong with the Detroit Tigers?
Trading Jacob Turner and there's no such thing as a pitching prospect.
Ryan Raburn is placed on bereavement leave, Tigers fans make asses of themselves by continuing to make "Ra-BUM SUX!" comments.
Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer are good at baseball.
Meet Quintin Berry!
Did Berry's call up make Don Kelly redundant?
Collin Balester vs. Luke Putkonen.
Losing Austin Jackson to injury is like losing an MVP candidate.

Listener questions:
Does the Tigers' BABIP show they've been unlucky?
Where is Jhonny Peralta's power and has he turned the corner?
Will time away from the team help Raburn out of his slump?
Andy Dirks has a thick neck.
Should Jackson go on the DL?
Luke Putkonen vs. Danny Worth.
Does Rick Porcello have a long-term future with the Tigers?
Bullpen help from Luis Marte and Brayan Villarreal.
What's the latest on Al Alburquerque?
Did losing weight to play 3rd base adversely affect Miguel Cabrera's power stroke?
Who's the most surprising member of the bullpen to this point?
Can the starting rotation be improved?
If the Tigers could do it over, would they sign Prince Fielder to a huge contract or spend his $23M a season on other roster holes?
Can the Tigers win with their current roster?
Will they need to get a player or two at the trade deadline, and at what positions?
When and where does Nick Castellanos fit in Detroit?
Is there enough prospect ammunition in the minor league system to pull off another Cabrera-like deal?
Farm system bright spots.
Name the better Berry: Quintin, Franken, or Straw?
If this lineup were a band, would it be called "Prince Miggy and the Number 9 Hitters?"
How many trolls do we need to sacrifice to the Baseball Gods to give the Tigers a break?
Lightning round!
Final thoughts with a rant!
 
Jackson to 15 day DL, Raburn returns from bereavement, Luis Marte returns from DL, Putkonen sent to Toledo. Brayan Villarreal and Quintin Berry stay for now.

Alex Avila being approached differently in 2012.
from the Tigers official site

Avila saw fastballs with 57.2 percent of the pitches thrown to him in 2011, just slightly under his previous averages in Detroit. By contrast, just 51.8 percent of pitches to him have been fastballs so far.
A look at pitch f/x and four-seam fastballs on fangraphs.com shows that the difference is even greater, from 37.4 percent in 2011 to 28 percent this season. Avlia is seeing more curveballs and changeups, with a few more cutters mixed in.
