Game #41 Miami Marlins @ Detroit Tigers, May 13th 2024 6:40 Pm

A PITCHER’S BEST FRIEND.
Totally Tigers

Now that the 2024 season is underway, the cracks in the Tigers’ foundation are starting to show more clearly.
We knew there would be problems, especially with the offense. But now it’s gotten to the point where it is negatively impacting the better parts of this team.

The good news is that Detroit is no longer sitting at the bottom of MLB’s team offensive stats. In the 6 most important categories that rank offense, the Tigers sit mostly at #21 or #22. In 1 category, they rank #23.

Their hitters are walking more, taking more pitches and striking out less. It’s definitely better than #29 and #30 rankings before Scott Harris arrived but obviously there is still a long way to go.
But now we’re seeing what the weak offense is doing to the team’s pitching.

I think the time to add some hitting was in the off season. Harris missed the boat.
