Philadelphia — The Latin origin of the word patience is suffering (patientia).
Even if they couldn’t get that answer correct on "Jeopardy," there isn’t anybody associated with this Tigers rebuild — ownership, front office, coaching staff, players or fan base — who doesn’t inherently understand that to have patience through this process is to suffer.
But also, in this case, patience is prudent and paramount.
The Tigers have lost four-fifths of their starting rotation in the first month of the season. So, the clamor from the fan base, understandably, is to bring up the kids.
