Jim Leyland finally blew up at the Tigers on Tuesday and since then they have won three straight and scored 30 runs in those games.
Seems like his explosion was long overdue. Something needed to be done to light a fire under this team.
Granted, the 30 runs came against a Seattle pitching staff that is struggling, but it should restore some confidence in the hitters.
Leyland has to accept a good share of the blame for the Tigers’ awful start. I wrote about Leyland and Flip Saunders of the Detroit Pistons in my column this week. Here is a link:
