re: Is Tiger baseball getting hot at the right time?

I understand the wait and see attitude, but it's pretty clear that both Garza and Hughes are beginning to find themselves a bit at the plate.

All that does is extend the lineup, take pressure off the core players, and make the pitcher work harder all the way through instead of being able to coast for entire innings at a time.

ETA: Garza started it off with his first single, but Hughes' extended at bat where he fouled off a few pitches with two strikes and kept fighting was the beginning of the downhill slide for their starter last night.
