Game Score is a metric that was created by influential statistician Bill James as a way to determine how effectively a starting pitcher performed in a game. His formula is still used by Baseball-Reference. Tom Tango, another notable numbers guru (who now serves as MLB Advanced Media’s Senior Database Architect of Stats), came up with…

The NFL Draft is always a good reminder that the MLB Draft is only two months away. Though it’s later than usual this year, starting on July 11th, the Detroit Tigers have a plethora of picks in the top 100, picking at 3, 32, 39, and 74. They even pick at 103, too. Let’s face
If there is one overwhelming flaw in the Detroit Tigers attempt to rebuild the franchise, it’s the lack of trade return in the 2017 sell-off. While the Chicago White Sox landed Eloy Jimenez and Dylan Cease for starter Jose Quintana earlier that summer, the Tigers have yet to see anything from the Justin Verlander deal
We’re not going to take a lot of time breaking down what’s gone wrong with the Tigers offense so far this season. They were supposed to be mediocre, not terrible, and mediocre remains the ceiling even if the lineup normalizes toward career numbers. Potential moves available are liable to be of the band-aid over open
I love the Detroit Tigers. Chances are if you are reading this article so do you. If you follow me on Twitter you know I despise tanking. Tanking is for losers and losing should never be rewarded. All the incentives for this scorched earth method employed by some teams who don’t mind making their fans…
Another day, another feeble performance from the Tigers offense. The only question this season has been whether the starting pitcher would keep them in the game or not. On Sunday, Jose Ureña handled a terrifying Yankees lineup with little trouble, but this lineup full of windmills generated no power and went down in a 2-0
The last time the Detroit Tigers won after Saturday’s loss to the New York Yankees was four games ago against the Chicago White Sox. Now, they stare a road sweep straight in their faces after dropping the first two of a weekend tilt in the Big Apple. Considering that the team has only won twice
Are you surprised that the Detroit Tigers lost to the New York Yankees on Saturday afternoon? Of course you aren’t. The loss is their fourth straight and 12th in the last 14 games. The 6-4 final was accelerated by a four-run sixth inning. Detroit starting pitcher Spencer Turnbull, who had struggled with his command throughout
I hope that win last Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox did not tease you too much, because it has been slim pickings since then for the Detroit Tigers. They have been pounded mercilessly in their last two outings against those same Bad Sox as well as the New York Yankees in the first game
If you spent your evening watching the NFL Draft to see which player(s) the Detroit Lions would select to help bolster their roster for the future, you chose wisely. Detroit’s professional baseball team played an actual game, and it was, predictably, less enjoyable than staring at Roger Goodell’s face for three hours. The Tigers were

Trea Turner has never been an All-Star. His name is rarely invoked during discussions of the game’s elite. But make no mistake, he is one of the best players in baseball. The Detroit Tigers are desperate for a shortstop. Fans hope they can jump into the fray this off-season and come out with one of…
The Tigers travel to the East Coast on Friday to kick off a three-game set against the New York Yankees. Currently under .500 and tied for last place in the American League East, the Yankees have not gotten off to the start they anticipated, but taking on the Tigers could be just what they need
The hole is deep. The light is scarce. Hope is a four-letter word. The Detroit Tigers have hit bottom as an organization, right? At least offensively that seems certain. The Tigers dropped a pair in Chicago on Thursday in typical non-threatening fashion to maintain the steady drumbeat of woeful offensive displays and bullpen failures. White…
The Detroit Tigers dropped a pair of games to the Chicago White Sox on Thursday evening: a close 3-1 loss in Game 1, but a blowout, 11-0, in Game 2. A rainout on Wednesday necessitated a pair of seven-inning contests on Thursday, a decidedly nicer day and evening, weather-wise. The somewhat unusual start time (4:10

For anyone who follows the Detroit Tigers, there are two trains of thought that seem to seep through the consciousness of the fanbase when it comes to Miguel Cabrera. One thought that seems to be a hindrance to why the Tigers will not spend is because of his contract. Fellow contributor Chris Mangum believes he’s…
For anyone who follows the Detroit Tigers minor league system, it has been since 2019 fans have seen them in action and a lot has changed. For one, outside of a few glimpses in summer camps, minor league coverage has been hard to come by. Unless you are hardcore in the minor leagues and followed…
When Casey Mize takes the mound on Thursday against the Chicago White Sox, it will be amid rumblings of frustration with his performance. While every baseball fan worth their salt knows that even very talented young prospects can take time to succeed at the major league level, heavy lies the crown for a former first
The West Michigan Whitecaps will have some real drawing power when their Midwest League season begins on May 4th. With their home opener slated for May 11th against the Great Lakes Loons, the roster will feature a host of interesting prospects, including the Detroit Tigers two newest high-end prospects. The Whitecaps’ announced their starting roster
