Why do they have to do everything the hard way? When you have your opponent down you step on the throat and don't let go. This team has not done it this year. They were 2-14 with runners in scoring position before they were finally able to string a few hits together, aided by the error. What's missing is that "timely hit" that kind of puts the other team on the brink and does a lot of psychological damage. When you let pitcher off the hook and give him confidence, you make it tough on yourself.
The Tigers ended up scoring 8 runs and winning fairly comfortably, but not all the games are going to be like this.
