Most observant baseball fans are well aware that early season samples rarely turn out to represent a full season, but it’s worth considering the sluggish Detroit Tigers’ offense thus far. Despite the Tigers delivering a 13-0 shellacking of the Colorado Rockies during Miguel Cabrera’s 3000 hit game on Saturday, they are currently near the bottom of the pack. The Tigers are 23rd in runs scored per game, with 3.53, so it’s not quite as bad as it’s looked at times, particularly with scoring down across the game so far this season. The club just hasn’t put it together at the plate for multiple games in a row, and they’ve frustrated by wasting surprisingly strong efforts from a pitching staff beset by injuries through 15 games.
The Tigers’ early season power outage is just temporary
