our shortcomings during the season not showing aren't because our opponents aren't collapsing....its cause we have the best rotation in baseball and they are coming to play when it matters the most...im sick of hearing detroit doesn't even deserve to be there....not saying thats what you said but iv been hearing it a lot lately...oh texas wasn't there so there needs to be an asterisk blah blah
You have the best pitcher in baseball, not the best rotation. But you're right the lack of a solid lineup, shaky bullpen, no speed, and horrible defense has been masked by a rotation that has pitched very well. but also opponents batters that have collapsed in a historically bad way. The Tigers have somehow turned around all of their deficiencies in these playoffs. But again, you can only play who is in front of you and the the Trigers have taken care of business. It doesn't matter how u do it, it just matters if you do it.
what do you mean no speed? we have the league leader in triples at the top of our lineup and one of the leagues fastest guys in berry getting significant playing time....our outfield defense has been one of the best in baseball and our infield while having below average range make the plays that come to them.....also show me a rotation thats better then verlander, scherzer and a healthy doug fister
- you had the least amount of stolen bases of any team in baseball in the regular season - you had one of the worst fielding percentages in the AL and NO range. - Washington, Tampa Bay, Atlanta, San Francisco, Dodgers, Cincinnati, Angels are all better and thats just off the top of my head.
just because we didn't steal during the season doesn't mean we don't have speed...were stealing them this playoffs...scherzer put up comparable numbers to the aces on most of those staffs and hes our number 3 guy....doug fister has been hurt all year this is the first time he is healthy...and when hes healthy hes proved to be dominate

We need someone who can steal like Bourn, but a little younger.
