After a decidedly mixed bag of a road trip out west of the Mississippi, the Tigers return home to the Motor City in search of consistency. The offense looked like a force to be reckoned with against the Houston Astros, tallying 20 runs over three games. Against the Oakland Athletics though, they mustered only six

Getting cute in the major league draft isn’t easy. Despite the endless scheming of major league draft obsessives, saving bonus pool money in the early rounds with which to lure a good but not great prep prospect later on, just isn’t an easy trick to turn. Witness the Detroit Tigers draft in 2017, in which
The problem with a rollercoaster, is that you start at the bottom, and you’re ultimately let down again in the end. The middle part is a heck of a lot of fun though. So it was on the Detroit Tigers 10 game road trip out west. We still recall the wind in our hair and
A sweep for a sweep, apparently. After sweeping the first leg of their trip through the American League West, the Tigers were on the opposite end of a sweep against the Oakland Athletics. In the final game of their series in Oakland, Matthew Boyd and Chris Bassitt delivered an excellent pitcher’s duel that put runs
The Tigers missed an opportunity to pounce on their opponent Saturday, getting shut out for the second game in a row by a score of 7-0 for its third-straight loss in Oakland. Casey Mize did not live up to his billing against the A’s, getting shelled early before settling in for a few innings, but
The script is simple, but consistent. The Detroit Tigers do not hit on the west coast, and they proved it again on Saturday, getting dominated by a fifth starter type while Casey Mize was victimized by the long ball en route to a 7-0 loss, their third straight. Things went poorly from the start in

The Detroit Tigers dropped a tough one on Friday night to the Oakland Athletics despite a surprisingly strong start from José Ureña, getting shut out by a score of 3-0. Instead of starting a new winning streak, the good guys now look to prevent a series loss on its west coast swing. The good news
The 2021 Detroit Tigers continue to be a tale of two teams. After having one of their most impressive series of the past half-decade with a sweep of the Houston Astros in Texas, they have followed it up with a pair of dud losses in Oakland, the most recent of which was a 3-0 snoozer
Yesterday, after a decent stretch of warm weather and sunny skies in the metro Detroit and Ann Arbor area, I was greeted to sleet and miserable grey clouds outside my window. Perhaps if the Tigers had been at Comerica Park, they would’ve recreated some of their Opening Day magic after seeing a few snowflakes fly
The Detroit Tigers rode into Oakland following a three game sweep of the Houston Astros with Tarik Skubal going up against the A’s Sean Manaea. The game started out as a pitchers’ affair, with Skubal allowing just two runs, one of them earned, and just two hits while striking out five hitters. Once Skubal left

There have been plenty of great and unexpected stories from the Detroit Tigers early in the season, with many players defying expectation and making the club a heck of a lot of fun to watch. Not all of those stories are t-shirt worthy (Akil Baddoo’s breakout certainly has been), but we think one other player
After wincing after a swing in his fourth inning at-bat against the Houston Astros on Wednesday night, Detroit Tigers right fielder Nomar Mazara had to leave the contest in the middle of his at-bat. He was diagnosed with a abdominal strain in his left side, and today the Tigers have placed him on the 10-day
Well, well, well, within a span of three days we certainly pinballed from misery to exuberance with our Detroit Tigers. Those were some fun games in Houston. The team got great starting pitching, mashed the baseball, saw a little batted ball luck go their way, and the bullpen…hung on. Now the Tigers wing west to
Detroit has completed their bounce-back from a miserable series versus Cleveland by sweeping the Astros in their own ballpark. Tigers win, 6-4. A Pair of Three-Run Innings Two three-run innings put Detroit over the edge in this one. The Tigers second-inning rally began with Astros starter Lance McCullers Jr. hitting Renato Núñez to open the

Monday night my wife asked me if A.J. Hinch would have an advantage over his old team because he knows all of the players. While I told her I doubt that would make much of a difference, it sure seems like the Detroit Tigers know exactly how to handle the Astros, winning the first two
The Detroit Tigers may just want to play all their remaining games in Houston this year. After a convincing 6-2 win last night, they continued their offensive onslaught and dominant pitching to take their second game in a row from the Houston Astros. Matthew Boyd was at the top of his game and Akil Baddoo
Casey Mize earned his first major league victory on Monday night when he pitched seven innings of no-run ball allowing just two walks while striking out five. It was a fine performance for a team that had been struggling both on the mound and at the plate after the first ten games despite last season’s
