Released by Detroit last month, Inge hit his first homer for Oakland and drove in four runs as the Athletics roughed up rookie Matt Moore in a 9-5 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday.
The Tigers closed out a brief homestand taking 2 out of 3 from the Chicago White Sox. The good news was the good starting pitching, and bad news was the continuation of a frozen solid offense. Imagine taking a series while scoring only 10 runs over the 3 game span. That's what the Tigers "accomplished" while bats like Brennan Boesch remain cold and is now hitting 8th in the line up. Having said that there isn't a whole lot that Jim Leland or Lloyd McClellan can do to turn things around, that's still up to each individual.
That's what we Fantasy Baseball addicts call it. Studs Or Duds. Meaning you have drafted a couple of superstar players and only have money left to fill the rest of your roster with players who cost a buck. Or a quarter in some cases. And not to say silly fantasy baseball is anything like the real deal. But this year's Tiger team does bear some resemblance to that strategy.

That's right, I can't help myself, and I have to check Brandon Inge's numbers with his new team the Oakland Athletics'.

There are many ways to measure "better" but Justin Verlander isn't interested in the statistical part.
There are plenty of apologists abound for the Tigers right now. They keep saying the same stuff. "It's early" or "They actually had the same record last year" or any laced together series of excuses.
The lack of Tiger offense has me asking..."where's the beef?" I was one of those who was excited after the first series at home this season and saw what kind of power and run scoring ability the team had. But that seems to have taken a back seat to an on-again-off-again type of offense for the Bengals. Everyone says once the warm weather is here to stay the bats will likewise warm up. They better be right, or it could be a long, disappointing season.
Chris Getz's infield single in the ninth inning put Kansas City ahead, and the Royals held on to beat the Detroit Tigers 3-2 Wednesday.
