It’s that time of year, where every early move in a game, every dugout hug, every management mention of a player’s name has fans wondering if they’re about to see a beloved player get moved to a different team. This season is no different, of course, as tight divisional races have some teams on the
After much debate as to whether the Cleveland Baseball Team would select a badass historical moniker (the Spiders was right there you guys), or something new, they made the official announcement of their re-brand on Friday morning with an admittedly pretty great video. Tom Hanks tells us of the spirit and strength of the city
Toledo Mud Hens 7, Indianapolis Indians 2 (box) The Tigers are running very thin on starting pitching depth with the loss of Spencer Turnbull to UCL surgery. Hens starter Drew Hutchison is making a pretty good case to be the next man up. Hutchison didn’t get much run support, and he didn’t need it, allowing
When the Detroit Tigers signed infielder Colt Keith in the fifth round of the 2020 MLB Draft, it was viewed as something of a coup. MLB Pipeline ranked Keith as the 87th player in the draft class, while Prospects Live had him 80th, and Baseball America ran him all the way up to 57. So…
The Tigers’ current seven-game win streak is the longest for the team since an eight-game run dating back to August of 2016. To put it in perspective, that was 59 months ago. The Detroit Tigers have put together a winning recipe with three essential ingredients: pitching, power, and the ability to beat the teams they should.
The Detroit Tigers are playing their best baseball of the season, and outfielder Robbie Grossman has been a big reason why. Grossman has homered three times his last seven games, and his 1.040 OPS in July is among the best in baseball.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Phil Coke is the ultimate Detroit Tigers hype-man. The bullpen phone rings and the call is in. The ginger reliever hurries to the mound, attempting what appears oddly similar to a tryout for the 100-meter dash.
The Tigers were looking for a perfect 7-0 homestand on Thursday afternoon, in the finale of a four-game series against the Rangers. They got it, and the four-game sweep of Texas, with a 7-5 getaway-day victory, remaining the only undefeated post-All-Star Break team in baseball. Tyler Alexander got the start for Detroit, being moved semi-permanently

Baseball data has become more refined as the years go on. It isn’t just batting averages or wins for a pitcher, there is wRC+, FIP, WAR, the list goes on and on. For any baseball fan or any Detroit Tigers fan, depending on how you watch the game, they could mean something or nothing at…
With Ian Krol making his return to the Tigers last week, it seems like an ideal time to reflect not on Krol, but on the man who the Tigers traded him away for during his last stint with the team. It’s also an intriguing tie-in with the draft happening just last week to focus on
Look we’re trying not to get cocky here, but the Detroit Tigers are injecting a bit of giddiness into the proceedings these days. Rookie starter Matt Manning put together a fine start, the Tigers got homers from Robbie Grossman, Zack Short, and Akil Baddoo, and once again the bullpen locked it down—with a bit of
It sounds crazy, but the Detroit Tigers could find some help from a pair of players who have alienated themselves to the fanbase in their respective tenures. Christin Stewart and Renato Nunez continue to show out for the Toledo Mud Hens and might be an injury away from finding themselves back in Detroit yet this…
Tuesday night’s win over the Texas Rangers stretched the Tigers win streak in five in a row. It also highlighted the near complete brand of baseball the club is playing these days. Quality at-bat after quality at-bat, speed on the bases, solid starting pitching, improved defense, timely power and dominant relief work. All of it
Well, it’s safe to say nobody saw this coming. It’s officially late-July and the Detroit Tigers are, while not exactly contending for an American League Wild Card slot, they are actually playing competitive baseball into the MLB trade deadline. This is a far cry from where the Tigers were expected to be heading into the…
Indianapolis Indians 12, Toledo Mud Hens 11 (F/10)(box) Toledo and Indy locked up in a big time slugfest on Tuesday, but it was ultimately the bad guys who walked in off in 10 innings. Ricardo Pinto started for the Hens and was lit up for eight runs in just two innings of work. This after
Game two of a four-game series between the Rangers and Tigers in Detroit was delayed a couple of hours due to thunderstorms in the area. That didn’t matter to the Tigers, though. They won their fifth straight game with a 4-1 victory built on fantastic pitching, good defense, and some solid, but mostly unspectacular, hitting
The Detroit Tigers are off to an excellent start in the second half of the season, and it’s part of a general trend of solid baseball over the last two months. Things looked a bit sketchy for the Tigers as they dropped a four-game series to the Twins heading into the All-Star break. But the…
With the MLB trade deadline less than two weeks out, the Detroit Tigers sit in third place of the AL Central with a better-than-expected 44-51 record. Though they’re 13.5 games out of the division lead and 9.5 behind the second wild card-holding Oakland A’s, the Detroit News’ Chris McCosky reported that GM Al Avila will
