The Detroit Tigers are tied for the third worst winning percentage in Major League Baseball through 42 games of the 2022 regular season, and a former Tiger is not happy about it. 

Joel Zumaya, who last pitched for Detroit in 2010, unloaded on the organization Wednesday for its start to the season, taking aim at members of the Tigers' front office in the process.

"Is there any other true Detroit Tiger fan as disappointed as I am on how this season is going for the team!!!!" Zumaya wrote in an Instagram post. "WELL I JOEL ZUMAYA #54 FORMER DETROIT TIGER, truly am disgusted, disappointed, just flat out upset on how this organization has let itself fall into a category which I thought this organization would never see again!!!"

The post included a graphic showing two of the worst baseball teams in MLB history and the runs they scored during their season of losing. The 1962 New York Mets went 40-120 and scored 617 runs, and the 2003 Tigers finished the year 43-119, scoring 591 runs.
