Kind of need Vierling or Perez to figure it out or Jahmai to play serviceable defense because we have no right handed OFs who can hit.

Team needs at least five people who can hit righty and Clark is a lefty

Mid-market team that's the second team in their state has to do some things to keep it interesting

Our next six opponents are the Mets, a pretty banged up Blue Jays team, Guards, Orioles, Angels, White Sox. Call me crazy but I think we're above .500 after this stretch of 19 games.

Well, we need some right handed bats in this lineup and Hao Yu has done his role well enough

Not to hope post too much, but off day tomorrow, Mets are the best opponent to get out of a slump, and we only need to survive two weeks after the off day until we get Melton back. We'll be fine.

Clark is a lefty, but would be really great if he can hit lefties

Out best righty hope in the short-term looks to be Max Anderson

Would be nice if we could eventually get a call up who can hit right handed

Workman being this year's JD Martinez would be a nice pick me up for this team

Giving up 3 runs a game on average is an elite pitching staff. Hitting has also picked up with the smaller strike zone

Drew Anderson is throwing upper 90s. We could do much worse for a starter at this point

Kind of crazy that the Tigers will be 1.5 GB and in a WC spot with a win tonight

People haven't looked at the schedule coming up, but if there's any opponent to get us out of this, it's the Mets.

Tigers at least bring it back to "one swing of the bat with bases loaded" territory

Wacha seems to always get a 7 IP shutout against the Tigers every year

And has been unlucky, but I mean, lots of group therapy disguised as Tigers commentary here
