OT: 6-8-12 Tigers vs Reds
Tigers trying to comeback from 4 zip.
Bases loaded, no out and Cabrera at the plate
Talk about a team that consistently doesn't make winning baseball plays when they matter. This National League stretch is key. IMO if they don't come out of it .500 or better in overall record, it's time to strongly consider selling off parts by the July 31 deadline.
Get ready for an offseason like the 08-09 offseason where there will be a greater emphasis on finding defensive players. (Laird, Everett, Inge to third base) Then you'll see a rebound next season like in 09. Trying to hide 4 DH's in the field hasn't worked.
In defense of our pitching, so many balls that get hit are not getting fielded (highest percentage in baseball), that they can't feel comfortable. It has to eat at them mentally and distract them.
