LOOKING BACK – Part 2.
Totally Tigers

As we start this long holiday weekend, let’s continue to have some fun and look back at some polls completed by our readers. Sometimes, distance gives us a better perspective. At the very least, the overall fan response can be eye-opening.
Today, we’re going to pick up from where we left off yesterday – starting with early December.
I’m pulling the most interesting polls. They can be in agreement with what is going on today – or they can be wildly off.
As you read through all of these, find the one that caught your attention the most and tell us about it in the comments. There are some very interesting results here that we may want to change today!
And for the brave, we’re taking confessions about how many of these polls they got right.

RHP Jason Foley will be placed on the Toledo 7-day injured list today with a right shoulder strain.

Motor City Metrics Tigers Podcast: Comerica Park Cures Riley Greene. 80 minutes.
After the Brewers took 2 out of 3 from Detroit, the Tigers took the first game from the Royals, with the help of some familiar faces.

Detroit Tigers starting 5:
Skubal: 23.2 IP, 25 K, 2.66 ERA
Flaherty: 21.1 IP, 25 K, 2.53 ERA
Olson: 20.0 IP, 18 K, 4.50 ERA
Jobe: 15.0 IP, 9 K, 3.00 ERA
Mize: 17.1 IP, 15 K, 2.60 ERA
This is the best starting 5 the tigers have had in over a decade, maybe longer.

The best technical explanation of what Torkelson has changed form stance to hands/load its how MR.ON TIME got on time from NEVER being on TIME. A great baseball piece.
