Tigers already losing 2-0 after one.

 

[nydo77]

Derek Hill bunt grounds out to the pitcher, and Barnhart doesn't even advance to second?

 

[biggunsbob]

If this team finishes under .500 Al Avila should be fired. I know it?s early and I Remember the year Houston started 15-30 and made the World Series but they had at least 2 future hall of famers. Al where are the great position players ? Hard to fathom losing Riley would set this team back so much but the Tigers are just toothless at the plate right now.

 

[biggunsbob]

My god down 4-1
Tiger muff yet another ball in the infield. JC try?s for the ball and messes up Baez timing.

We are so fucking bad in the field.

Two outs
Now 5-1 because we can?t field .

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers are freaking cursed like all Detroit teams. Another prospect breaks a bone .

Digging a hole in April just like last year. Team's not good enough to climb of it if it continues into May.

In the game he had hit a home run, and this was the second time in the game he was hit by a pitch.

Schoop, Baddoo, and Candelario have all been terrible. Did you want all three of them replaced prior to the season?

 

[gotime909]

At least we have guys that can draw walks, right nerds?

I do believe walks are a good thing. The only problem with this team is they need 4 in a row to score a run.

I think that doesn?t happen a lot.

 

[kalinecountry]

The Tigers fall to 6-13, and they go another game without a home run.
This is just the 3rd time since 1947 that they?ve hit 8 HR or fewer through their first 19 games, joining 1983 and 2003.
By contrast, in 2006 they had 31 HR through 19 games.

 

[biggunsbob]

How does everyone nose dive all at once. Only the freaking Tigers.

 

[tigermud]

Too many bad hitters, badaboo flash in the pan. Candy had potential but I?d say he?s a bust

Which was always my point with rebbiv on the issue.

What good is an offense that has a good walk rate if they can't hit the ball. Just makes for more stranded runners. Unless we add 100 points to the the slugging percentage we won't be a consistent offense.

It depends on the walk rate.

If the percentage is .950 -or even .925 - that team is going to score a lot of runs off walks.
