The Tigers have lost 10 of 12 games. Is it time to panic? The Athletic's Cody Stavenhagen and cohost Kieran Steckley try to thread the needle — talking about the Tigers' obvious problems while staying rooted in reality. Which players most need to start performing? What do we make of the latest Jack Flaherty start? What role does A.J. Hinch play or not play in the team's struggles?

All that and more as the Tigers look to tread water.
