For those of you who don't read the Game Previews;

2019 Tigers through May 22nd:
.280 wOBA, 72 wRC+, -1.3 fWAR
2003 Tigers season total:
.296 wOBA, 80 wRC+, -1.2 fWAR
This offense is officially on track to be WORSE than that 2003 team...

Key matchup: Tigers bullpen vs. getting outs.
Only two MLB bullpens have posted a higher ERA than Detroit?s in the month of May, and no AL club has been worth fewer WAR. They need to be better, full stop.

Instead of wallowing in their misery, however, let?s look at some of the more amusing parts of these splits.

The Tigers? bullpen has only been responsible for four of Detroit?s 15 losses this month.
The two guys at the back end of the ?pen ? Shane Greene and Joe Jimenez ? have a combined 2.25 ERA with 21 strikeouts to five walks in 16 innings.

Nick Ramirez has also held his own, with a 2.45 ERA in 11 innings.

The rest of the bullpen has an 8.68 ERA in 56 innings since May 1.
