I realize it is only four days into the new baseball season but ESPN decided to bust out with the "What's wrong with the Tigers offense?" question. I think it is a little too early to say there is something wrong with the Tigers but this is Steve's analysis...
"Well, as much as you have to ask what is wrong with the Tigers hitting, you also have to credit Brian Bannister and Gil Meche with good pitching performances. I think the Tigers will be fine, they need to be more patient and they happened to run into two really good pitchers."
Gil Meche and Brian Bannister are good pitchers. This is really shitty analysis though because before Steve informs the viewer that Meche and Bannister are really good pitchers and makes excuses for the Tigers, he should think, "if Meche and Bannister are nearly shutting the Tigers out, what could really, really good pitchers do?" It is too early to worry about the Tigers offense quite yet, but if you are getting shut out by the Royals and then the next day Zach Greinke goes 7 innings while giving up 1 run, then you may want to think a bit harder about what is wrong with the Tigers. Maybe Miguel Cabrera should put on more weight, that works for Daisuke right?
