THE SATURDAY SURVEY.
Totally Tigers
The Saturday Survey offers readers the opportunity to weigh in on a relevant topic. So here is a poll to gauge the pulse of our baseball-lovin? peeps.
Today, we center the discussion on the team?s slump and how fans see the season going forward. Is it starting to look like last year?
As always, we welcome your comments, so please vote and then submit your reasons (4 sentences max!) for how you voted in the usual comment box. Don?t forget to come back later and view the results!
The Tigers have been taking a nosedive, losing their last 9 games (through Thursday) and about to face the Indians ? a team that has beaten them 20 straight times. They are close to setting 2 new records with consecutive losses to AL Central rivals as well as consecutive losses to Cleveland.
Starting pitchers have been exiting games early, the bullpen is now being taxed and the lineup is not bringing in runs. Even Ron Gardenhire is admitting that nothing is working right now.
Is the start to this season merely a hiccup as the team gets acclimated or is this an indicator of another really bad ? or even worse ? year?
With only 60 games instead of the usual 162, let?s prorate all the wins and losses so that each game this year counts for approximately 2.5 games.
How do you think the 2020 year will go for Detroit as you compare it with the 2019 season?
1. Win/losses will be somewhat improved.
2. They?ll end up with a similar record to 2019.
3. They will end up with a worse record than 2019.
4. Not judging because the record will be impacted by the young kids coming up.
5. Still too early to tell.
6. Impossible to judge because of the short season.
7. Not sure.
Vote.
