For over two months, the 2024 Detroit Tigers have played the most clutch brand of baseball we’ve seen in many, many years. They had plenty more in the tank in Game 2 of the Wild Card Series, and they needed all of it. A sloppy seventh inning cost them a slim lead, but they came

Here we are, friends, and before we dive into today’s postseason recap, let’s set the scene. It has been 10 years since the Tigers played postseason baseball. In 2014, Mike Ilitch was still the owner, Brad Ausmus was in his first year as the manager (taking the helm of a strong 2013 ship from Jim

If you’ve been following your own team all year and were not looking league-wide to prepare for postseason baseball, you might be surprised to see the Detroit Tigers clinched a spot in this year’s playoffs. Well, you’re not alone. A young Tigers team that appeared to be dead in the water by midseason, and sold

The Detroit Tigers got one of the biggest breaks in the history of the franchise on October 30, 2020. For a time, it looked as though the Chicago White Sox were in position with a win now roster to hire A.J. Hinch, but instead owner Jerry Reinsdorf chose his old buddy Tony La Russa to

Here we go. After 10 years, the Detroit Tigers are back in the postseason and they’re carrying a huge head of steam following one of greatest stretch drives in the game’s history. The AL Wild Card Series between the Tigers and the Houston Astros gets underway at Minute Maid Park in Houston with a 2:32

After an electrifying run to the postseason, it’s natural to try and identify how and exactly when the Detroit Tigers flipped the switch. You could point to Trey Sweeney replacing Javier Báez as the starting shortstop in mid-August. You could more facetiously nod to former manager Jim Leyland’s “go get a $%^&#$% win” moment on

The Detroit Tigers are playing meaningful baseball in October this fall for the first time in 10 years and the fanbase could not be more excited about the next step in the Motor City Kitties’ magical season. The first stop on the way to the World Series (fingers crossed) is in Houston, where the Astros

The Tigers finished the regular season on a muted note on Sunday, dropping one 9-5 to the Chicago Sox. It was a pretty ugly day for the Tigers all around, and as the Kansas City Royals closed out their season with a win over the Atlanta Braves, the Tigers will take on the Houston Astros

On Friday night, the Detroit Tigers defeated the Chicago White Sox 4-1, clinching a playoff berth for the first time since 2014. In the process, they handed the south siders their record setting 121st loss of the season. Despite a strong month of August, it took a 17-6 run in September, with two games remaining,

On a rainy Saturday afternoon, a somewhat tired looking Tigers squad dropped a 4-0 game to the Chicago White Sox. Apart from a strong three innings from Jackson Jobe, there wasn’t much to report as the bats just weren’t sharp in this one. The start of Saturday’s penultimate game was delayed for almost two and

Against all odds, The Detroit Tigers have made the playoffs for the 17th time in the franchise’s 124 year history. In more recent memory, during the “expansion era” that began in 1961 when the major leagues expanded from their original 8 team per league format, Detroit has made the post season nine times. Six of

They’ve done it! After 10 long years of despair, a teardown, multiple phases of rebuilding, and then one of the wildest and most improbable stretch runs in sports history, your Detroit Tigers are back in the postseason. Starting Tuesday, October 1, we’ll have playoff baseball for the first time since the ill-fated 2014 run that

I saw something posted online earlier today, and I’ll paraphrase: “If you’d have told me in the spring that the Tigers would be starting Brenan Hanifee on a night where they could clinch a playoff spot, I wouldn’t have believed you.” Well, here we are. The last playoff game featuring the Tigers was in 2014,

It has been a full decade since the last time the Detroit Tigers earned a spot in the MLB playoffs, and thanks to a miraculous run that has seen the team go 30-11 over the past two months, they are on the brink of snapping that streak with a wild card spot this fall. The

The Tigers/Rays series headed into its final game, and while it currently feels like every game is “must win” in this playoff hunt, the Tigers certainly had the Rays in a chokehold to start the series, so it was unsurprising to see Tampa Bay get a little fired up for the getaway game.

On their relentless march towards the playoffs on Wednesday night, the Tigers got on the board early, kept adding insurance, and we got a brief glimpse of the future amidst a 7-1 win that clinched the three-game series against the Rays. Rookie Keider Montero made the start for the Tigers, his 16th start and 18th

Rosters have been announced for the 2024 Arizona Fall League and the Tigers will be contributing plenty of talent to the Scottsdale Scorpions roster this year. Opening Day for the developmental league, which often features players from the High-A and Double-A levels who missed regular season time due to injury, is set for October 7.

They’ve done it again. Despite a roster decimated by injuries and the promotion of Jackson Jobe, manager Gabe Alvarez led the Erie SeaWolves to the Eastern League championship with a 3-2 victory over the Yankees’ affiliate, the Somerset Patriots, on Tuesday evening. Like their parent club, the SeaWolves relied on a deep pen, good coaching,

Happy early game day, friends! With heavy rain in the forecast the baseball gods decided to move today’s outing against the Rays up to the afternoon, and then the weather gods mocked them by raining enough to force the start back an hour. However nothing would stop the Tigers from their quest for the postseason,
