Get StartedSince hitting homer #489, Cabrera has gone 0-18 with 11 strikeouts.
He is slashing .115/.193/.250/.443 with 2 homers, 1 double, 6 singles, 5 BB and 19 Ks. Those are Nate Colbert-like stats...IF he still was the Tigers regular starting 1B.
That is simply inexcusable and should relegate him to being moved down to 8 or 9 in the batting order....if not sitting him if there were any better on the bench (there ain't).

Totally Tigers

We can?t wait to get your thoughts on the following topic.
The Tigers have lost 20 of their first 28 games and they are by far the worst team in MLB.
So much of the Tigers? performance has been pinned on Al Avila and Chris Ilitch. But is there someone else?
Beyond the owner, GM and manager, whose performance on the field is concerning you most and why?

This game/day could/might see the end of Cabrera time in the 3 spot come to an end?}
No one wants to listen to me but kittens can not keep letting him bat 3rd!
JD Martinez .347/.431/.713
Nick Castellanos .330/.360/.660
How come we never get guys like that?
Lee Panas
Nicholas Castellanos 5-6 2 HR now leads baseball in HR also hitting .330..instead of figuring out how to keep him..transition him to 1B..which multiple analysts suggested..and paying him a reasonable 4/56M..DET dealt him for a RP and a tier 4 prospect..another of the reasons why.
Nicholas Castellanos since being dealt in 2019:
536 AB
152 H
283 AVE
38 2B
39 HR
90 RBI
Nicholas Castellanos had 11 total bases today, matching the season totals for both JaCoby Jones and Victor Reyes.
Castellanos 2021 Splits:
Home 59 PA 8 HR 17 RBI .393 BAVG .424 OBP .893 SLG 1.317 OPS
Away 53 PA 1 HR 3 RBI .260 BAVG .302 OBP .400 SLG .702 OPS
Since opening, Great American has consistently been in the top 5 for HRs. Most years, they have lead MLB. This year, so far, they lead MLB by a huge advantage.

I get that there isn't much legit major league talent on this roster, but it seems that EVERY SINGLE PLAYER is having their career worst season at the plate. What exactly is Scott Coolbaugh(our new hitting coach) doing with these guys?
MLB (dot) com's power rankings released today.
Tigers again rated #29 of 30, above only the Rockies.
Must be their pitching that prevents them from rightfully being ranked dead last.
