What an odd baseball season. For so much of the season the pitching carried this team while the offense struggled at times. This team has had issues getting the timely hits and at times, scoring runs period when the ball wasn't going out of the park.
This weekend in Atlanta was quite the opposite. The offense hit the ball and scored some runs but it was the pitching that had its share of struggles. Starting pitchers and relievers. Nine walks issued Friday, seven more on Saturday. Outside of all the walks, the Tigers might have actually outplayed the Jackets in those two losses.
