Atlanta — Have you seen anything like this 2016 baseball season in Detroit?
Seriously.
This isn’t a trite question meant to acknowledge a town’s general exasperation with the Tigers and with a season that has, at its worst moments, endangered a fan base’s mental health.
The question is asked simply because nothing like 2016 exists in memory banks that are deep and extensive.
Consider as but one graham of evidence a 24-hour interlude extending Friday night through Saturday evening at Turner Field in Atlanta as the Tigers and Braves met with Detroit’s playoff future resting on every inning and pitch.
