A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned my Four Players I Don’t Want to See Next Year in a Detroit Tigers uniform. We all know this Tigers’ lineup is not packed with talent, but aside from the prospects, here are four players I would like to see return to the roster as the team hopefully looks to…

Toledo Mud Hens 9, Nashville Sounds 6 (box) The Hens have come out mashing. After scoring eight runs in the opener, they went one better on Wednesday night to make it 2-0 on the year. Veteran right-hander Drew Hutchison got the start, and he quickly took a little damage, giving up a two run double

Wednesday night’s hotly-anticipated Tigers-Red Sox matchup ended up with the Tigers taking the second game of the series, 6-5, with some extra-inning dramatics. With the win, the Tigers snapped a six-game losing streak. A passing spot of rain caused a 38-minute delay to the beginnings of the proceedings, and there was a steady light drizzle

The 2021 minor-league baseball season began yesterday, offering a welcome distraction for weary Detroit Tigers fans (and beat writers). Rogelio wrote a recap of yesterday’s results, and we hope to offer daily content on the happenings with Detroit’s farm teams.
Well the offense finally got loose on Tuesday night. So of course it came on a night where Michael Fulmer didn’t make it out of the first inning. The Tigers starter on Wednesday night is Casey Mize, and we can presumably expect much more effective work from him. Can this lineup put up some runs
Toledo Mud Hens 8, Nashville Sounds 6 (box) Things started off pretty well in this one. Matt Manning was commanding his fastball beautifully and ran through the Sounds for two innings with three punchouts. However, the fastball was about all he had, as the curveball was scarcely used and regularly spiked into the dirt when
For the first time since 2019, we have minor league baseball as the Detroit Tigers minor league squads kicked off last night. There was plenty of excitement in the air as there were many new names and some familiar faces in new places.
The good news? The Detroit Tigers snapped an 18 game streak without recording double digit hits (10), and they scored their second highest amount of runs this season (7). The bad news? They still lost to the Boston Red Sox, 11-7. Despite their long overdue offensive outburst, they came up short in key at bats

Ever since I took over this Detroit Tigers fan blog over a year ago, I have tried to write about baseball as logically as possible. Currently, the fans have grown weary of the Tigers’ horrendous start. The “Fire Avila” chants have begun on social media, and the current acquisition of half of a casino by…
Today is May the 4th, also known as Star Wars Day, and the Detroit Tigers are the worst team in baseball. That’s all the excuse we need to have a little fun and dig though the history books to find the most Star Wars-sounding names in Tigers history.
After a merciful off day, the Tigers are in Boston for a three-game set starting Tuesday. The hosts lead the AL East, while Detroit has lost 10 of 11 and has seemingly already hit rock bottom. While the offense has been absolutely terrible, the pitching has given up some ugly scorelines lately as well. It
As the centerpiece of the 2017 Justin Verlander deal, the inability of right-hander Franklin Perez to stay on the mound, let alone develop into the pitcher that was hoped, is at the center of their flawed rebuilding effort. He remains a strange enigma. Perez has never had surgery, and yet he’s been unable to stay
For the Detroit Tigers, there have not been many positive items to discuss. The team’s offense has sputtered among one of the worst in the league. However, one item that is worth discussing is the starting pitching.
