Nothing explosive happened in this one. Instead, the Tigers executed well when needed, putting together tough at-bat after tough at-bat against Cleveland pitching. Meanwhile, starter Julio Teheran and the rebuilt Tigers bullpen were up to the task as they led the club to a 5-2 win on a nice Saturday afternoon at Comerica Park. Tigers

The Detroit Tigers got off to a great start to their 2021 season on Thursday when they snuck by the Cleveland Indians in a snowy Comerica Park, 3-2, on Major League Baseball’s opening day. Miguel Cabrera gave the fans a brief glimpse of what he is capable of with his two-run opposite shot to pace
Yesterday, I, along with fellow contributor Michael Sicillia headed down to Comerica Park to watch the Detroit Tigers home opener. This was the first time I went to the game as a season ticket holder and thanks to Mike, I took advantage of the deal the Tigers were offering.
On the eve of the 2021 MLB season, while most Detroit Tigers fans were snug in their beds, the New York Mets and shortstop Francisco Lindor were agreeing to terms on a 10-year, $341-million contract extension.
Today is Opening Day, meaning baseball is officially back! Oh, how we missed it. But while 2020 was weird for baseball, 2021 isn’t exactly normal. Like the Tigers starting off the year playing in a full-blown snowstorm.
One year ago today, Comerica Park and Major League Baseball’s 29 other ballparks laid dormant as the COVID-19 pandemic prompted stay-home orders across the United States. While we still received a 60-game season and an exciting, if unconventional postseason in 2020, today’s Opening Day felt a little extra special. For the first time since September
Miguel Cabrera is trying to make history this year as the first player in MLB history to reach 3,000 career hits and 500 home runs in the same season. We’re only one inning in, but he’s off to a great start. The first home run of 2021 belongs to Miggy! pic.twitter.com/6ymHjvoLMJ — MLB (@MLB) April

Over the course of a regular season, the Tigers will face off against Cleveland a whopping 19 times. In past years they have proven to be a bit of a nemesis for the Tigers, and a point of struggle and contention. This year, the Cleveland team looks a little different, missing one of their best
The Detroit Tigers designated outfielder Christin Stewart for assignment on Thursday, making room for lefthander Derek Holland, who was added to the 40-man roster prior to Detroit’s Opening Day matchup with the Cleveland Indians. The Tigers selected Stewart with the 34th overall pick in the 2015 MLB draft, and he rose quickly through the minors,
Baseball is back! It wasn’t the longest offseason in recent memory — going without baseball last spring was painful, y’all — but those winter months still seemed to stretch on all the same. Now, with the 2021 MLB season getting underway in just a few hours, it’s time to get acquainted (or reacquainted, for the
“Hello, is this thing on?” *taps mic* “I just have one thing I’d like to say… BASEBALL IS BACK!” That’s right, it’s Opening Day for the Detroit Tigers. Old man winter has retreated back into his bungalow (well, mostly) and the baseball gods have officially entered the chat. Spring training was fun for awhile, but
Welcome back baseball fans, Opening Day 2021 is finally upon us. After one of most tumultuous years in memory, a more familiar looking season lies ahead, and we can’t wait. There are still going to be strict limitations and guidelines for attendance, and the city of Detroit is warning fans off from tail-gating, so things
We’re fewer than 24 hours away from the start of the 2021 MLB season, when the Detroit Tigers kick off their year against Cleveland and reigning American League Cy Young Award winner Shane Bieber. Rogelio posted our season predictions earlier, but this post is a bit more focused. We want to point you toward five…
Our Slack channel has provided a place to work out ideas and opinions about the Detroit Tigers. Today’s question in our channel was I asked our contributors their thoughts about the upcoming 2021 season and give us their “hot take predictions” on where Detroit is heading in 2021.
Well it’s been quite a year, folks. We don’t know about you, but 2020 and early 2021 have sorely tested our ability to predict what’s going to happen next, and we’ve been humbled in the process. Usually, we just have our bad baseball predictions to humble us. 2020 wasn’t our worst year in terms of
The Detroit Tigers are approaching the point in their rebuild where identifying the key contributors to the next successful era of Tigers baseball is of paramount importance. It has become very trendy in Major League Baseball (I’m looking at you White Sox) to sign young players to extensions to create cost certainty and hopefully generate…
Before you click away and leave an angry comment about clickbait, keep in mind where I am coming from. According to FanGraphs 2021 Power Rankings, the Detroit Tigers are projected to have the worst bullpen in all of baseball with a total fWAR of 1.1. But do they have a case for their projections? Let’s…
Detroit Tigers fans don’t need to worry about Spencer Torkelson. Spring training doesn’t mean anything, and the jump from college baseball to the big league is enormous. He still has all the talent in the world, and he’s probably going to demolish minor-league pitching.
