Well, it just isn’t getting any better. After a pair of duds on Friday and Sunday, the Tigers’ offense is actually much worse in June than it was in April and May. This absolutely stupefying level of failure is pretty hard to wrap one’s head around. The players themselves have track records that suggest this offense should be below average at worst, yet here we are in mid-June, and the Tigers’ run production is historically awful and actually trending down.
After proclamations from management and ownership this offseason that the rebuild was over and they were now committed to building a contender, the Tigers have fallen flat on their faces.
