After all the moves, deals and signings, who didn't expect more from the Tigers? I mean, you have this big-name lineup, you're expecting some f-ing softball scores, right?
I must say, I did predict some of the erratic hitting. There are four Tigers who I love as players: Granderson, Ordonez, Giullen and Polanco. They work pitchers (OK, so Granderson is learning to do this), and virtually all of their at-bats are good ones.
But after these four guys, you can flush the rest of them down the toilet. Especially Sheffield. I've followed him from team to team, league to league, but he's a piece of dirt in spikes. He NEVER adjusts to the situation, and he's left countless runners on third with less than two out (including once two nights ago).
And Pudge is another waste at the plate.
But I NEVER envisioned the dip in the starting pitching. I was confident Verlander would get off to a strong start, and I believed all the bullshit reporting out of Detroit about Bonderman's new off-speed pitch, a changeup.
Well, I should have known better, reading anything of substance coming out of Detroit. What a bunch of shit. The pitching is a waste, and Dombrowski might have blown it buy getting Renteria.
Wouldn't Jurjjens look good in this rotation? Hell, even Joe Sparma would look good about now.
