The 2021 regular season enters the home stretch today, and whatever comes the rest of the way, it’s been a very successful year for the Detroit Tigers. Four consecutive months of the best baseball the organization has produced in at least a half decade has us all feeling a lot more optimistic about the club’s

Omaha Storm Chasers 9, Toledo Mud Hens 3 (box) Ricardo Pinto had a really rough outing in this one. The Hens hung in there early, but a disastrous four-run sixth inning for Omaha sealed the deal. Pinto allowed seven runs in 5 1⁄3 innings of work. Only four were charged, but an error on Isaac
When AJ Hinch chose to take the Detroit Tigers manager job this past offseason, many fans and analysts around the MLB questioned why he would come to Detroit instead of joining forces with a more contention-ready roster or a more analytics-driven organization. If AJ had his sights set on greater influence than merely managing a…
The Tigers have not had much luck against the Oakland Athletics since ousting them from the postseason in two classic series way back in 2012 and 2013. Unfortunately, things didn’t change on Tuesday night. Tarik Skubal was hit hard, and the offense couldn’t string a rally together, losing 9-3 to open the three-game set. Skubal

In a series of moves we at Bless You Boys have begged for over the past half decade, the Detroit Tigers have made some major moves to restructure the front office. On Tuesday, they announced that David Littlefield, long-time Director of Player Development and more recently Vice-President in charge of Player Development has been moved
Pete Seeger asked about flowers, and Paula Cole was looking for cowboys, but Detroit Tigers fans just want to know one thing: Where has all the offense gone? Now, no one was confusing the 2021 Detroit Tigers for the 1927 New York Yankees, but for a good three months — from roughly May 1st to…
Adrenaline and testosterone spike any time I think about the Detroit Tigers adding a premiere free agent this off-season. It just makes sense; the club has over-achieved to a 62-70 record entering Tuesday and they lack a true, in-his-prime, bonafide star in the lineup. They need a middle-of-the-order bat desperately and they have the means…
Throughout the season, Motor City Bengals have taken a look at various players throughout the Detroit Tigers organization. There have been numerous changes throughout the pitching staff with pitch usage increasing or decreasing.
The Detroit Tigers have dropped four of the last five games to fall eight games under .500, but that is not for a lack of trying. Each of the past six games have ended with a one-run margin, and four of the past nine contests have gone to extras. None of those games have featured
Let’s hope it’s as entertaining as former Detroit Tigers reliever Bruce Rondon slipping on the mound back in 2013 when the A’s took home a 6-3 victory thanks to a rain stoppage. Just kidding. The last time the Detroit Tigers met with the A’s, it wasn’t pretty.
Today’s tilt between the Twins and Tigers was a makeup game of a rainout on July 16, and in another low-scoring affair, Minnesota beat Detroit 3-2. No word yet if Tiger manager AJ Hinch will summon Jobu to “wake up bats.” Bailey Ober, whose 6’9” frame definitely provides more leverage on pitches, got the start
We are hitting the last portion of the Detroit Tigers minor league schedule and the hottest team among the four affiliates are the Toledo Mud Hens, winners of seven straight games and sitting on top of the Triple-A East-Midwest Division with a two-game lead over St.Paul.
We all know the iconic phrase “Detroit vs. Everybody,” but Detroit Tigers skipper A.J. Hinch really took that concept and ran with it during a recent presser. And when Hinch said, “If the Tigers’ organization does a good job, we’re going to re-establish ourselves as a winning franchise and develop a winning culture. If you
The rubber match of the three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays, on a warm weekend in Detroit, resulted in a 2-1 victory for the visitors, whose only runs came on a pair of solo home runs. Matthew Boyd made his return to Detroit for his first start since June 14. He threw nearly five

It has been a thrilling series so far between the Detroit Tigers and Toronto Blue Jays this weekend, with the two splitting a pair of closely-contested pitcher’s duels including a 3-2 extra-inning loss on Saturday night to knot things up. The matchups on the mound have been heavily in the visiting team’s favor but the
Tommey Walker, a local Detroit artist, started the phrase “Detroit vs Everybody” and it has been seen on shirts sold at his shop in Downtown Detroit. A good majority of Metro Detroit is familiar with this phrase. Apparently, so is Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch.
Detroit Tigers fans, heck, Detroit sports fans in general, have heard a lot of bold statements from coaches and managers over the years. Most of them, particularly coming from the unending parade of failed Lions’ coaches, have proved painful in retrospect, if not outright deranged. But we’re unused to hearing a lot of bold talk
We got another close, well pitched game on Saturday evening. Blue Jays’ starter Alek Manoah was dominant, but the Tigers tied it up late, only to lose in 10 innings, evening the series at a game apiece. The Tigers pitching plan for this one was to start things off with a short outing from Jose
