Jonathan Mayo and Jim Callis do an admirable job covering the entirety of the minor leagues. I know from first-hand experience it can be tough to cover one team to the fullest extent, let alone 30. Recently, MLB.com published their updated version of the Detroit Tigers top 30, complete with the new international signees and…
Well, well, well, within a span of three days we certainly pinballed from misery to exuberance with our Detroit Tigers. Those were some fun games in Houston. The team got great starting pitching, mashed the baseball, saw a little batted ball luck go their way, and the bullpen…hung on. Now the Tigers wing west to
Detroit has completed their bounce-back from a miserable series versus Cleveland by sweeping the Astros in their own ballpark. Tigers win, 6-4.

For the first time since the COVID-19 outbreak happen last season, the Detroit Tigers are witnessing firsthand the huge impact of the virus as Houston placed the following players on the IL: Infielders Taylor Jones, catcher Garrett Stubbs, and infielder Abraham Toro were recalled and infielder Alex De Goti and outfielder Ronnie Dawson were placed…
The Detroit Tigers signed two starting pitchers in the off season, so Michael Fulmer moving to the bullpen felt inevitable. But that didn’t make his transition any less dispiriting. Michael Fulmer was once one of the best young starting pitchers in baseball. But he missed all of 2019 with injuries, and he was undeniably bad…
Monday night my wife asked me if A.J. Hinch would have an advantage over his old team because he knows all of the players. While I told her I doubt that would make much of a difference, it sure seems like the Detroit Tigers know exactly how to handle the Astros, winning the first two
When the Detroit Tigers drafted Akil Baddoo in the Rule 5 draft, we here at Motor City Bengals said “who?” And I am sure most fans said the same thing. But in spring training he made his presence known with a slash line of .325/.460/.750 for an OPS of 1.210.
The Detroit Tigers may just want to play all their remaining games in Houston this year. After a convincing 6-2 win last night, they continued their offensive onslaught and dominant pitching to take their second game in a row from the Houston Astros. Matthew Boyd was at the top of his game and Akil Baddoo
Detroit Tigers meet on the mound. We are just 10 games into the 2021 Detroit Tigers season, but clearly it’s time to start judging the players based on arbitrary statistics and unsustainable performances.
Casey Mize earned his first major league victory on Monday night when he pitched seven innings of no-run ball allowing just two walks while striking out five. It was a fine performance for a team that had been struggling both on the mound and at the plate after the first ten games despite last season’s
You could be forgiven if, in the first inning of today’s game, with the Tigers loading the bases and a tea party on the mound, you thought: does Zack Greinke still have it? That, friends, is the silent power of Zack Greinke, because one pitch later, the inning ended with a classic TTBDNS. You’ll also
In the 9th start of his career, Casey Mize, the number one overall pick by the Detroit Tigers in the 2018 MLB draft, earned win number one in the 6-2 over the Houston Astros to end a four-game losing streak.
Ok, so we had a bad time in Cleveland. Who doesn’t? What’s important is that your Detroit Tigers have gathered themselves for a much better effort against an even better team in Houston on Monday night. Casey Mize has been brilliant as of this writing in the bottom of the seventh inning, and the back
The Detroit Tigers are home to one of the best stories in baseball for the 2021 season. Akil Baddoo’s historic first week has already been covered in detail, but he added another chapter to his book tonight.

If there’s one thing that comes to mind when someone says “Houston Astros” it definitely involves a trash can or two. That said, the Astros of today are barely the same team they were in 2017, and yes, fans of the club are a little tired of those same old jokes. Ahead of the Tigers
The Tigers head west of the Mississippi for the first time in 2021 to take on the Houston Astros as the 10-game road trip rolls on. They do so in the midst of a four game losing streak. The offense has been anemic during this stretch, but will have a chance to get on track
I’m not sure the modern day fan is built to handle the sport of baseball. As we move increasingly toward a society where instant gratification is the norm and little matters beyond the moment, it’s hard to wrangle the perspective required for a 162 game season that begins in April and trudges slowly forward (they
