Re: Detroit Tigers 2010: Streaker is going to buy me some beer
I don't think it matters when they play the Royals or Indians- they both stink, and better to get them when the Tigers are healthy, too. A 7-2 or 6-3 start is expected against the bottom feeders. They don't even get to enjoy their day off as they get to travel west. Next day off is May 6th, in the middle of another road swing. I will be intrigued with what they do with this impending 11 game road swing (longest of the season.) It only rivals the 10 game swing end of August, early September. Ironically, they end the season on a 7 game roadie with the last 3 in Baltimore. The good news, I guess, if they can survive, is they don't have any far western road swings after May.
The pitching is still a concern, with their ace getting lit up and no one starter going past 6 innings. The bullpen is going to be worn out by June at this pace. Seen a rash of errors starting, too, although they have managed to overcome them by taking advantage of poor Cleveland and KC bullpens to come back and win games they would lose to better teams.
