You thought the Casey Mize glove controversy in Kansas City last week was kooky (it was), wait until Monday when major-league umpires start searching pitchers’ hands, forearms, gloves and caps for foreign substances. “Everyone is on board with wanting an even playing field,” Tigers manager AJ Hinch said Sunday before the series finale in Anaheim.
Most of the Tigers’ hardcore snoops know the story of Jacob (Jake) Robson, an outfielder now at Triple-A Toledo who was born in London, Ontario, and grew up in Windsor playing baseball at Vincent Massey Secondary School.

I don’t

I don’t know about you, but if the Tigers simply never played another game against a team in California, I’d be fine with it. Whether the Tigers are bottom of the barrel or playoff-bound, it seems as if they can never quite get a handle on the Angels, especially (I won’t talk about the Giants,
One night after a three-hit game, Greene nearly became the first Erie SeaWolves player in nine years to hit for the cycle, falling a single shy in a 3-for-3 performance.

The finger injury that forced Niko Goodrum out of Friday’s Tigers loss will keep him out a little while. It doesn’t appear to be major, but the absence will be long enough for the Tigers to get another look at Isaac Paredes as a shortstop. The Tigers placed Goodrum on the 10-day injured list Saturday
