WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY.
Totally Tigers

The Detroit Tigers are currently 57 wins/68 losses and 8 games out of 1st place. They have yet to sit in 1st place or achieve .500 this year.

If we look at the team?s performance by month, we have:

Month by Month
Split W L RS RA W-L%
March 0 1 0 4 .000
April 10 16 88 131 .385
May 16 11 116 125 .593
June 9 18 105 132 .333
July 12 13 108 120 .480
August 10 9 79 83 .526
And if we consider first half/second half splits, we have:

By Season Half
Split W L RS RA W-L%
First Half 39 50 346 432 .438
Second Half 18 18 150 163 .500

Both starting and relief pitching have changed throughout the season. The Tigers have used a number of players at 2nd base and now changes have been made at 3rd base. The #2 catching position has also evolved as have moves in the outfield. Three players have been DFA?d/demoted while 2 new ones have been added to the catching position and outfield.

How many games out as well as a win/loss record don?t necessarily tell the whole story about a team?s progression. There are many other factors to consider that don?t show up yet in the record.

From what you?ve seen so far since the beginning of the year, are the Tigers getting better?

Are the pieces starting to fall into place?

Are the games becoming more exciting?

Are there players you feel are becoming the building blocks of a contending team?

These are the questions to ask yourself and others as we ponder the conditions to consider about whether the Tigers have taken a solid step forward in rebuilding. Let?s kick start some good discussion threads here ? and to take with you wherever you go during the rest of the week.

Are the Tigers becoming a better team?

1. Yes, I can see it.

2. Still too early to tell.

3. No, they've made little to no progress.

I voted that they have made little to no progress. Tork and Carpenter have gotten hot at the same time, but other than that, they haven't improved. The pitching seems to have regressed.

I remember that the Tigers were over .500 from May-October in 2021 and completely crapped out in 2022. So I think this entire postulization is for naught.

On that note Greene has struggled a bit. And we still have players that can't hit or pitch. As for carry over to the following year, you never know. For all we know Minny wins 100 next season.
