Lost 4 in a row and 5 of the last 6. Water is finding it's level. Hard to win when you average just 2.7 runs per game. Only 2 times in the first 16 games have we scored 5 runs or more in a game (5 and 7 runs against the Royals). We could pick the 5 best starters in the league, put the English D on them and we'd still be struggling to win with this offense.

We talk about it quite a bit but I'm curious what the stats say about Closers' in non closer type situations.

Every Tiger starter should march right in to the manager's office and B _ _ _ _! To pitch as good as Boyd did tigers should not have lost this game! IMO,Worst managed team in baseball major down to T ball.

Why blame the manager?

Look at the lineup. They suck!

They are striking out way too much also. it's just plain bad offense

I'm sure they do.

Do the hitters know how to decipher a strike from a ball? Do they know how to make solid contact?

According to ESPN's stats (since the 2000 season) the 2010 Mariners and 2013 Marlins each scored 513 runs. We're definitely on pace to shatter that.
