Well, just as everyone is wrapping up their think pieces on the imminent firing of Al Avila, AJ Hinch and Chris Fetter pursuing other opportunities, and the utter ruin of the Detroit Tigers franchise, here the club is riding a four game winning streak. Baseball is a funny game. Have they really turned it around? Or is this just some overdue rebalancing of the scales?
Hard to say. The Tigers do have underlying problems, but those problems haven’t really been the things costing them wins. Even over the past four games, the offense hasn’t exactly lit up the scoreboard.
