It’s just one afternoon — the finale of a six-game home stand in which the Detroit Tigers finished 4-2. In that context, what happened today at Comerica Park doesn’t seem so significant.
Besides, judging a baseball team by a single performance makes no sense. But, if we’re looking at the season, well, today's 11-4 loss to the Los Angeles Angels tells us plenty.
Mostly, that it’s almost time to start over.
I know much of this same group clawed out of a funk about the same time last season. I know manager Brad Ausmus likely was a few games from losing his job.
