Strikeouts, Not Strikes: A Season of Shutouts
That's right, folks, we're talking about shutouts. How many times have the Tigers been shut down by the opposing pitcher, left looking at a goose egg on the scoreboard? Buckle up, because this might sting a little. The Tigers have been shut out a whopping ELEVEN times this season! That's right, eleven! More shutouts than Miguel Cabrera has home runs (don't worry, Miggy, we still love you!).
Is This Some Kind of Record?
You bet it is! In fact, the 2023 Tigers hold the dubious honor of leading the entire Major Leagues in shutouts. Ouch. Hey, at least they're consistent, right?
A Light at the End of the Tunnel? (Maybe)
Look, things can't be this bad forever, can they? The Tigers have a young, exciting team. Maybe they'll figure it out. Maybe they'll start hitting like it's 2006 again. Or maybe...well, let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Tip: Reread the opening if you feel lost.
In the meantime, here are some tips for surviving Tigers games in 2023:
- Bring a good book. You might have some extra reading time.
- Stock up on snacks. All that booing can be hungry work.
- Master the art of small talk. You'll need something to distract yourself between innings.
- Wear earplugs (optional). Especially if you're sitting near the home run sculpture in right field (because, let's face it, it's not getting much use this year).
