Detroit Tigers fans, heck, Detroit sports fans in general, have heard a lot of bold statements from coaches and managers over the years. Most of them, particularly coming from the unending parade of failed Lions’ coaches, have proved painful in retrospect, if not outright deranged. But we’re unused to hearing a lot of bold talk
Gerson Adamus drew a one-out walk in the first inning. “Now here comes one of the finest athletes in this year’s Little League World Series: Jonathan Schoop,” play-by-play broadcaster Brent Musburger said on the ABC telecast. “He’s a slick fielding shortstop, and he can also do some damage with the bat.” Seventeen years later, this memory reminds Schoop why he loves

Detroit — For six innings, Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Alek Manoah, the hulking 6-foot-6, 260-pound rookie, was as oppressive and defeating as the heavy, 90-degree air at Comerica Park Saturday night. “He’s a big, physical dude,” Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch said. “It just almost felt like he was inventing pitches out there,” Tigers catcher Eric
We hear from manager A.J. Hinch after his Tigers drop a 3-2 decision to the Blue Jays in 10 innings. #Leinenkugels
The SeaWolves notched their second comeback victory of the week as they took down the Bowie Baysox 6-5 on Saturday night at Prince George’s Stadium. Erie jumped ahead in the top of the first inning against Bowie starter Grayson Rodriguez. Yariel Gonzalez led off the game with a walk and Drew Ward followed with his
The throw from Detroit Tigers left fielder Akil Baddoo looked perfect. But the ball was late. Toronto Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. — the free extra-inning runner on second base to open the 10th inning — slid into home just before Baddoo’s rocket connected with catcher Eric Haase, who turned to apply the tag. Guerrero had been
LANSING, MI – The West Michigan Whitecaps came up on the losing end of a wild game in a 7-6 loss to the Lansing Lugnuts on Saturday night in front of 5,459 fans at Jackson Field. The Whitecaps pitching staff hit four batters and committed three errors in an unusual game that saw Lansing rally
DETROIT — The Tigers and Blue Jays continue to play low-scoring duels. Their latest matchup Saturday came down to a pair of speedy plays from big sluggers. Three innings after Eric Haase bolted down the first-base line to beat out a double-play grounder and allow Robbie Grossman to score the tying run, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
We got another close, well pitched game on Saturday evening. Blue Jays’ starter Alek Manoah was dominant, but the Tigers tied it up late, only to lose in 10 innings, evening the series at a game apiece. The Tigers pitching plan for this one was to start things off with a short outing from Jose

DETROIT – This is the Matt Manning that Tigers fans remember hearing about on his way up the farm system, or maybe watching in the Futures Game, or catching a glimpse of in Spring Training. It took about a dozen starts for the Tigers’ rookie to find himself. When Manning found himself in trouble in
Detroit Tigers starter Matthew Boyd sat on the couch inside Matt Manning’s home in Lakeland, Florida. He watched the Tigers climb the standings after a dreadful April, putting together three consecutive winning months and now sitting in third place of the American League Central. He also saw the developments of Manning, Casey Mize and Tarik Skubal
Detroit — If rookie right-hander Jason Foley didn’t look right when he made his big-league debut on June 6, well, it’s because he wasn’t. A guy coming up through the system was throwing 100-mph bullets, there had to be a reason his fastball was coming in at 92, 93, 95 mph. There had to be
The Detroit Tigers got off to a good start against the Toronto Blue Jays last night to kick off the weekend’s three-game home series. The Olde English D scored a surprising 2-1 win behind the best effort of young Matt Manning’s major league career and an inside-the-park home run by Victor Reyes. It is getting

Living legend Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera has plenty of reverence for his future. A first-ballot Hall of Famer, jersey retirement, and a statue beyond left-center field all among the forthcoming honor. But Miguel Cabrera has not spoken about his desire for those career accolades. He has discussed his desire to play two more seasons.
The Tigers have designated Ian Krol for assignment in order to make room for Jose Urena, who will come off the injured list tomorrow, per Evan Woodbery of MLive Media Group (via Twitter). In 12 appearances, Krol has a 5.11 ERA/3.82 FIP covering 12 1/3 innings. Urena has been out since July 17th with a
