Sometimes when it rains it pours, and despite the sunny days in downtown Detroit this week, it’s been a monsoon at Comerica Park.
And unfortunately for the Tigers offense, it's not unique to their home ball park.
For the better part of three weeks, the dark gray cloud has followed the Tigers wherever they’ve traveled — from Minneapolis to Los Angeles to Houston and back home — cascading metaphorical rain on any bat that tries to heat up.
You’ve heard the refrain by now, but it bears repeating. Detroit’s lineup has been historically bad in a year that was supposed to be the end of the rebuild.
