Through three games:
2 runs
2 straight games being shutout
0 runs in regulation (just to reiterate, that's 27 scoreless innings out of 28 played)
11 hits
9 hits in regulation

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition
The first thing I see is that we're weak offensively up the middle. Greiner is not going to tear the cover off the ball. Mercer doesn't scare anybody. Harrison might hit 15 homers if he can manage to stay healthy all year. We're not sure if Jones is ever going to hit, and Mahtook is a 4A player, a #4 outfielder at best. The corner outfielders could probably be okay, but this is nobody's idea of how to win ballgames. Oh, and we've burned our top 3 starters, with Moore going tomorrow.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition
The Tigers' worst year offensively was 1918. Cobb hit .382 that year and they still only managed to score 476. No one else hit .280 on that team. 1981 doesn't count, strike year. The two worst Tiger teams I can remember are 1996 and 2003. The 1996 team flat couldn't pitch, scoring 783 runs, but giving up 1,103. The 2003 Tigers were frightful, scoring 591 and giving up 928.
The best offensive teams the Tigers ever had were right smack in the middle of the Greenberg/Gehringer years, 1934-1937, and the 1929 Tigers. who scored 926 runs and somehow managed to finish under .500.

4-3 final in 11.
I didn't see the game winning run, because all of a sudden the streaming decided to take a **** on this channel, and this channel only.

Dustin Peterson gets his first career hit, the go-ahead double in the 9th. The offense finally did something tonight.

Saw most of all three games here at my hotel lounge. I'm rather surprised.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition
The pitching isn't going to be this good all year. Or for much longer, I suspect. The Tigers have scored 12 runs in 7 games and somehow we're 4-3. I'll happily take it, but this isn't sustainable.
I'm headed to the park tomorrow to freeze my *** off for the home opener.
I'll give you one good guess as to what the forecast is for tomorrow.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition
I froze my *** off for 2.5 innings. The wind was blowing right in on me until I moved in the middle of the 3rd to the 3rd base side. Once I was there it was actually fairly mild.
Nice experience, but a pricey one. I don't know if I would make an annual thing of it.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition
Everything's going to hell in a handbasket here in the 7th. Norris gives up a big bomb on the first pitch of the 7th, and then Alcantara gives one up that goes about 30 feet farther. Norris came in to start the 4th after Moore tweaked a hammy to end the 3rd.
4-2 Royals, top 7.
