Where are the Bats?!

Four runs in 20 innings. That's what this much-heralded Tigers' batting order has accomplished in two games. More stats you ask? The Tigers moved only one runner into scoring position today and, as a team, are hitting .191 with 19 strikeouts through their two games. Yes, I know it's early, and if this were happening in mid September during a pennant race, the panic button would be pressed. But come on! Tigers hitters made Brian Bannister look like Sandy Koufax today. The Tigers have now allowed the Royals to open a season 2-0 for just the second time in 28 years!! Jeremy Bonderman goes tomorrow. Let's all hope he can avoid his patented first inning disasters, and get some run support. I know it's early, but people will be scrambling if this $138 million dollar Tigers team gets swept by the Kansas City Royals at home to start the season.
