The 2015 season began with the Detroit Tigers' offense roaring out of the block, posting 49 runs over their first six games. Jose Iglesias was hitting, Anthony Gose was hitting, everyone was hitting, and the Tigers' offense looked every bit the fast, well-muscled thoroughbred we expected.
Since that point, things have ground into lower gears. Over the last 29 games, the Tigers have posted just 80 runs, a measly 2.76 per game. Why has perhaps the best collection of offensive talent the Tigers have had in years struggled to light up the scoreboard since their 6-0 start?
