It’s easy to forget when watching the individual games of a long, long, oh-gawd-isn’t-there-a-fast-forward-button MLB season that the best offenses are like a Crock-Pot, producing slow and steady heat that eventually fuses a multitude of flavors into a hearty meal.
And then you have the 2022 Detroit Tigers, who are apparently trying to cook Thanksgiving dinner using only a Zippo lighter. (Or maybe we’ve just been watching too many TikToks on cooking.)
Chowing down, or the lack thereof, seems appropriate after watching the Tigers offense waste away to nearly nothing, from three runs in a win over the Pirates, to two runs (for four straight games, ugh) and, finally, to none Sunday.
