Most fans seem to savor hitting and offense. I'm with Jim on this: it's defense that wins games and pitching is the key to defense. And tempting the hitter to swing and not really hook up is what it's all about when the ball is over the plate.
Just a quick check of the Tiger batting averages will quickly tell the story: no firepower. What is supposed to be a dangerous line up can't even come out with a meow.
