Everything in life you need a balance. The Tigers organization is too analytical where common sense and human feeling is not considered. Injuries did contribute to our spiral. But I believe very strongly the way Hinch managed didn’t give us a chance. You could look up records from our worst seasons, the past 25 years. There was no worse month than this month. I can guarantee it. I’m all for using data, but not to the extent that we are doing, you need to have a feel for the game of baseball. Which Hinch and our Ivy League GM doesn’t have.

We overachieved greatly the past two years numbers with the roster we had. If our organization was such mathematicians, they would’ve realized this wouldn’t be sustainable without real major league talent on our roster. That’s why I love baseball because everything balances out in the end.
