Game #155: Atlanta Braves @ Detroit Tigers, Saturday September 20th, 1:10 Pm

The largest blown division lead in MLB history was choked away by the Red Sux in 1978. They led by 14 games in July. The Tigers led the AL Central by 14 games in July. Please tell me they are going to wake up from this.

OK, let’s get them. Let’s get them quick so we Michigan football fans can get to the Michigan game with a little bit a slight amount of elation about the tigers.

Detroit Launch Angle Sweet Spot%
Zach McKinstry: 98th percentile
Dillon Dingler: 97th%
Colt Keith: 96th%
Spencer Torkelson: 91st%
Gleyber Torres: 89th%
Jahmai Jones: 88th%
Wenceel Pérez: 86th%
Parker Meadows: 81st%
Riley Greene: 75th%
Kerry Carpenter: 75th%
Jake Rogers: 71st%

The "launch angle sweet spot" refers to the range of batted ball trajectories—specifically, between 8 and 32 degrees—that are most likely to result in a hard-hit ball with good distance and effectiveness. Hitting the ball in this range is often the goal for power and balanced hitters, as it balances height and distance to maximize success, leading to better chances of getting hits, extra-base hits, and home runs.

But you wonder if teams are starting to catch on and adjust how they pitch to DET. From the beginning of the season thru 6/30, DET ranked 7th in wRC+. Since then, they rank 21st.

Off the plate enough.
DuMB. What a poor pitch to tie the game and another poor pitch to give up the lead.

Vest is so bad. So embarrassing.

It will literally feel like the end of the world if the Tigers cannot manage to score one more run and then hang onto win this game.

And we descend down the abyss.
