A deeper look at Matthew Boyd’s Janus-faced disaster. Just a few weeks ago we wrote about Matthew Boyd using his changeup more to save his season. Then he got destroyed again. We aren’t quite ready to abandon our previous theory — Boyd was uncharacteristically wild in his rough outing against the Brewers — but for
Evan Petzold Detroit Free Press Published 5:51 PM EDT Sep 15, 2020 Detroit Tigers catcher Eric Haase has been on the traveling taxi squad for road trips all season.

The easy thing to say here is just resign Jonathan Schoop to a multiyear deal and problem solved for the Detroit Tigers. That is the obvious choice but so far during the Chris Ilitch era, there have been no guarantees. For the Detroit Tigers, there has been just one second baseman in the last 20

Evan Petzold Detroit Free Press Published 6:00 AM EDT Sep 15, 2020 Ramon Santiago waited three years to take this test. In recent weeks, he studied on the team bus by watching YouTube videos.

Evan Petzold Detroit Free Press Published 6:01 AM EDT Sep 15, 2020 Through 46 games, the Detroit Tigers are just a game out of last place in the American League Central Division.

Chris McCosky The Detroit News Published 3:23 PM EDT Sep 14, 2020 Detroit – There comes a point in every baseball season – apparently even in a 60-game season – when will and want-to collide with reality, when spit and grit gets trumped by superior talent, when all the intangibles in the world can’t save you

With two weeks remaining in the regular season, teams can be broken up into three categories:
Evan Petzold Detroit Free Press Published 6:01 AM EDT Sep 14, 2020 By the sour tone in Detroit Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire’s voice on Sunday afternoon, it was obvious he didn’t want to be reminded of his team’s nine losses to the Chicago White Sox in 10 games this season. “Thank you,” Gardenhire said after a 5-2 defeat
For all the talk about how short this season has been, there has been plenty that every team has learned about itself. And one of the key things any team can learn: Who is in this for the long haul? So, today at the Thirty, we take a look at the player on each team

Ted Kulfan The Detroit News Published 7:06 PM EDT Sep 13, 2020 Chicago — The Lions weren’t the only team to lose to a Chicago team.
