Yes, it is early. The season is young, and the Detroit Tigers are off to one of the rougher starts in recent memory. They head into Thursday already five games out from even a wild card spot– leaving the fanbase antsy, to say the least.

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
The 2021 Detroit Tigers need a lot of help. After 24 games they are sporting an 8-16 record, 29th in the league, ahead of just the Minnesota Twins at 7-15 who will get things together soon enough. The growing discontent is everywhere amongst Tigers fans, with even the often forgiving local media (subscription required) deeming the…
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
In 2017, the Detroit Tigers’ once-beloved star pitcher, Justin Verlander, was traded to the Houston Astros in a package deal that would ultimately send three prospects to Detroit in return. Now in 2021, Justin Verlander is serving his last year of a 2-year, $66 million deal with the Astros and will be a free agent…
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

As Detroit Tigers head to the south side of Chicago for a three-game series with the Chicago White Sox, rookies Yermín Mercedes and Akil Baddoo have been among the most popular topics of discussion among the fans on social media.
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
There is an understandable air of negativity around the Detroit Tigers right now. No one thought the Tigers would compete this year, but it was reasonable to expect some kind of progress. Instead the Detroit Tigers look like the worst team in baseball. Of course 23 games doesn’t make a season, and there are some…
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?)
The end of a four-game series with the Kansas City Royals mercifully came today, on a chilly Michigan Monday, with a 3-2 loss. Spencer “Big Red” Turnbull and Brad “The Georgia Peach” Keller, two extreme-groundball pitchers, started today, so the worms at Comerica Park were on high alert the whole afternoon. Keller’s season so far
Things are bad for the Detroit Tigers right now. Very bad. They are averaging just 3.05 runs per game, which is the lowest in baseball. Their 67 runs through 22 games is the 6th lowest total in franchise history, and the worst since the infamous 2003 season.
The feel-good feeling from the Houston Astros series for the Detroit Tigers has clearly vanished into thin air as the frustrations of the team’s recent struggles have spilled onto social media. Venting on social media is nothing new. If you go back to the days of newspapers, social media just another evolution of the “keyboard…
This may blow your mind, but the Detroit Tigers technically aren’t even the worst offense in baseball in the early going. Shout out to the Colorado Rockies and their combined 76 wRC+ for checking in two points lower than our home team. The Milwaukee Brewers’ offense, yes they of the 13-8 record, actually has a
Mired in an ages-long rebuild and with a farm system that isn’t known for players possessing high-end athleticism, outfielder Parker Meadows is a bastion of unrefined physical gifts lurking under the surface of Detroit Tigers prospect coverage. It can sometimes be easy to forget about Meadows, which is peculiar considering he was the first pick
Oof! Amirite? Guys, I’m usually writing this weekly entry on a day where we get a breather. A chance to reflect on the fortunes of our team, be they good or bad. There will be no such reprieve today. This team currently stands in the corner, gloves pulled tightly against it’s skull, shelled up and
Fellow contributor Jacob Boes mentioned recently that 97.1 The Ticket had a call-in opinion that there were four players he did not want to see again: Joe Jimenez, Jacoby Jones, Niko Goodrum, and Jonathon Schoop. I am going to discuss four players from the Detroit Tigers’ 40-man roster that I do not want to see…
(Co-Contributor’s note: This editorial is the first piece from Christopher Mangum, a student at the University of Michigan) In late 2007, the Detroit Tigers acquired a 24-year-old Miguel Cabrera from the then Florida Marlins, a move which would end up introducing Cabrera to his home for what we can assume will be the rest of his career. In his…
