The Tigers lose to the Royals with Verlander on the hill with their offense managing 5 hits (1 against Jonathan Sanchez and his 6.75 ERA and 2.02 WHIP entering the game)

the disappointing start continues at 12-12

Not to piss in anyone's vaginal Cheerios here, and far be it from me to tell other fans what to think, but as an Indians fan the first thing I look at is Detroit's schedule. And JFC...Boston, TB, Rangers, Yankees...all in the first month. Goddamn that's hard...no fucking way the Indians go .500 against those teams. They beat the shit out of the Royals, the only real clunker I see is the sweep to Seattle at home, and maybe not taking 2 of 3 in Chicago...I guess. Looking at May's schedule, Jesus that has 24-6 written all over it (or however many games it is). If they are still .500 on June 1, I would worry. Right now, I think Detroit is just fine.

I agree that some of this freaking out has been unjustified, but teams with this kind of talent shouldn't be pissing their pants at pitchers with 5+ ERAs like they have been lately. Never in a million years would I have expected that offense would be the Tigers' main issue this year.

Hitting comes and goes...it certainly doesn't help that Raburn was 0 for the century (with some foul tips) to start the year. This is the month they will get it figured out...and this is the month they had better get it figured out, because it is almost a AAA schedule. I was shocked to see Sanchez do what he did today to them, however.

just another Indians fan doing what they hate Tigers fans doing in that thread.

Troll.

5 out of JV's 6 starts Tigers have managed 2 runs. Leyland is a fucking joke. Pinch running G-Money ??? Really ?? Leyland is on his last leg. Not sure you can blame it all on these drunks not hitting the ball though.

having Porcello and Max be absolutely awful and losing Fister hasn't helped. Porcello i think righted the ship.

Getting rid of Inge was a step in the right direction. Raburn need to head down to Toledo REAL soon if he doesnt catch fire as well.
