OT: Tigers started 7-3, now 30-70
Welp. Not quite 2003 level bad, but still pretty bad.

We'll see about Alexander. He was getting shelled in Toledo before he got the call. 5.72 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP.
Jimenez needs time in the minors to figure his stuff out. He's been horseshit since he got back from last year's All Star Game.
We'd be talking about all the wasted talent we have on the pitching staff.
We'd still be losing games 3-2 because the Joe Jimenez's and Jose Cisceros of the bullpen would keep squandering games.
This team might get to 45 wins.
Detroit is batting .231 and is second to last in HR. I haven't seen any games this year but when I caught a final in the first half of the season it seems like they lost by one or two runs in most games.
Now they're getting destroyed every night. It's hard to motivate a sub .300 baseball team in August. Are any prospects getting looks? Is Turnbull legit?
Most of the prospects are young, young, young, or haven't shown much at the upper levels other than Mize (who they'll baby, and at this juncture in the rebuild, probably should).
It's gonna be awhile.
7’s and 3’s. Maybe play some combination in the lottery? Or maybe avoid any such combination?
The worst thing for me is watching Cabrera now. My god he is just finished at this point. No power at all and he is just a shell of his former glory.
I don't remember any player ever falling apart as quickly as he has with his issues. Makes it even more frustrating when he has that contract.
