Detroit Tigers: Falling short of .500 is alright with the fans

In a season that has been fun to watch, it is safe to assume that falling short of .500 has been alright for Detroit Tigers fans.

When the 2021 season began, I admit, my predictions about the outfield and how it was going to pan out for the Detroit Tigers was about the surest thing I could lay all my baseball knowledge on. I have may shot the moon high for Tarik Skubal and predicting him for Rookie of the Year but as far as wins go, I said around 72.

There is a particular type of fans that say sometimes the Detroit Tigers blog scene is too “negative” and that we tend to be too critical of the team but for the first time in watching the Detroit Tigers in my life during a rough stretch of baseball, I can say I see the light and actual growth across not only on the big league team but across a minor league system that showed progress with players in the lower rounds of the draft.
