This was supposed to be a bounce-back year for Kenta Maeda. So far, it's been more of the same. Despite an encouraging spring, Maeda has pitched poorly out of the Tigers' bullpen, his latest letdown coming in the ninth inning of Friday night's win over the Royals when he couldn't get a 7-1 game over the finish line.

No one’s taking this harder than Colt Keith, who admits his confidence in the field is “at an all-time low.” “It’s a struggle over there.” “It doesn’t change my belief in him or where he fits into the batting order or on this team,” says A.J. Hinch: https://t.co/t8CUKr06Y1
"You start getting some funky swings, and swing and miss. That’s what I mean by the hitters telling me things are good, where it’s not always the foul ball that they just missed. You know when guys are on stuff or not." Casey Mize has weathered the storm: https://t.co/h90AAni2l4
J.B. Bickerstaff on reborn Pistons: "We’re not your typical NBA team that just runs around jacking threes. We’re a team that really decides to get it in the mud." Their "physical basketball, sometimes confrontational basketball" is a threat to the East: https://t.co/A998DHxbTE
