Bless You Boys

If there is one overwhelming flaw in the Detroit Tigers attempt to rebuild the franchise, it’s the lack of trade return in the 2017 sell-off. While the Chicago White Sox landed Eloy Jimenez and Dylan Cease for starter Jose Quintana earlier that summer, the Tigers have yet to see anything from the Justin Verlander deal

We’re not going to take a lot of time breaking down what’s gone wrong with the Tigers offense so far this season. They were supposed to be mediocre, not terrible, and mediocre remains the ceiling even if the lineup normalizes toward career numbers. Potential moves available are liable to be of the band-aid over open

Another day, another feeble performance from the Tigers offense. The only question this season has been whether the starting pitcher would keep them in the game or not. On Sunday, Jose Ureña handled a terrifying Yankees lineup with little trouble, but this lineup full of windmills generated no power and went down in a 2-0

The last time the Detroit Tigers won after Saturday’s loss to the New York Yankees was four games ago against the Chicago White Sox. Now, they stare a road sweep straight in their faces after dropping the first two of a weekend tilt in the Big Apple. Considering that the team has only won twice

Are you surprised that the Detroit Tigers lost to the New York Yankees on Saturday afternoon? Of course you aren’t. The loss is their fourth straight and 12th in the last 14 games. The 6-4 final was accelerated by a four-run sixth inning. Detroit starting pitcher Spencer Turnbull, who had struggled with his command throughout

I hope that win last Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox did not tease you too much, because it has been slim pickings since then for the Detroit Tigers. They have been pounded mercilessly in their last two outings against those same Bad Sox as well as the New York Yankees in the first game

If you spent your evening watching the NFL Draft to see which player(s) the Detroit Lions would select to help bolster their roster for the future, you chose wisely. Detroit’s professional baseball team played an actual game, and it was, predictably, less enjoyable than staring at Roger Goodell’s face for three hours. The Tigers were

The Tigers travel to the East Coast on Friday to kick off a three-game set against the New York Yankees. Currently under .500 and tied for last place in the American League East, the Yankees have not gotten off to the start they anticipated, but taking on the Tigers could be just what they need

The Detroit Tigers dropped a pair of games to the Chicago White Sox on Thursday evening: a close 3-1 loss in Game 1, but a blowout, 11-0, in Game 2. A rainout on Wednesday necessitated a pair of seven-inning contests on Thursday, a decidedly nicer day and evening, weather-wise. The somewhat unusual start time (4:10

When Casey Mize takes the mound on Thursday against the Chicago White Sox, it will be amid rumblings of frustration with his performance. While every baseball fan worth their salt knows that even very talented young prospects can take time to succeed at the major league level, heavy lies the crown for a former first

The West Michigan Whitecaps will have some real drawing power when their Midwest League season begins on May 4th. With their home opener slated for May 11th against the Great Lakes Loons, the roster will feature a host of interesting prospects, including the Detroit Tigers two newest high-end prospects. The Whitecaps’ announced their starting roster

Thanks to Wednesday’s inclement weather, we will be treated to what is quickly becoming one of my most-hated rules in sports on Thursday. The Tigers and White Sox will play two seven-inning doubleheaders that serve little purpose other than force us to argue about what exactly constitutes a no-hitter. I won’t go into a full-blown

How are we feeling, Tigers fans? I hope you all enjoyed Tuesday’s win and have let that positivity flow into your Wednesday. After losing 10 of their last 11 games, the Tigers kicked off a series against the White Sox with a good win over one of the better young pitchers in baseball in Lucas

Since he arrived in a deal with the Miami Marlins back on December 4, 2007, it’s been a truism that as Miguel Cabrera goes, so go the Detroit Tigers. So far in 2021, the club is two for two when Cabrera hits a home run. His first was the artful snow globe home run on

Oh hey, guys, this game had terrible, terrible defense on show, but the Tigers won so it was actually still pretty fun? The Tigers got things started early and in the best way possible with a Miguel Cabrera solo home run in the first inning. It’s a lovely treat for the team to lead in

If you’ve taken one thing away from our scouting reports thus far, it should be the lack of high percentage bats in the Detroit Tigers farm system. They have a lot more potential built in at this point than they have in many years, but most of the infielders and outfielders we’ve profiled already are

Remember sweeping the Astros? Ah, to go back to two weeks ago. Since then, the Detroit Tigers have lost a pair of four-game series and two of three against the Royals, dropping their record down to 7-16, already eight games back in the division. While this whole season will not be this bad (right? please?)
