“I’m very pleased with the progress of the Detroit Tigers”- owner Chris Ilitch After four consecutive seasons winning the American League’s Central Division from 2011 to 2014, owner Mike Ilitch let general manager Dave Dombrowski go as the 2015 season wound down.

After a solid 4-1 victory in game one, courtesy of a fine major league debut from Garrett Hill, the Tigers came out looking to sweep the doubleheader from their AL Central tormentors, the Cleveland Guardians. They got it done thanks to some timely hitting, power from Eric Haase, and a heck of a good job

Louisville Bats 6, Toledo Mud Hens 5 (box) After falling behind early in the series, the Bats rallied over the weekend, taking 2 of 3 to split the series with their 6-5 victory on Sunday.

Happy Independence Day folks. Hope our American readership has a good time today, and doesn’t manage to lose any digits to any tomfoolery, or accidentally fire a rocket into someone’s boat at a lake party. Not that we’ve ever witnessed such extravagances in person… With great freedoms, come great responsibilities. We’ll leave it at that

A brutal day from the Tigers’ pitching staff led them to a series loss against the Kansas City Royals. If you, like many fans, weren’t able to watch the game due to it to being exclusive to the Peacock streaming service, well you were better off in the end. Tarik Skubal’s recent trend of bad

Worse than the Detroit Tigers’ record this season, has been the lack of signs of hope over the first three months. The team that general manager Al Avila constructed was intriguing in the preseason because of numerous new faces who were supposed to be key building blocks to a future contending ballclub. Unfortunately, that group

True baseball fans don’t leave until the game is over. Forget about beating traffic or making a flight for the out-of-towners, it ain’t over until it’s over. Riley Greene proved that tonight with his first (and I’m sure there will be many more) home run that came with one out in a tie ballgame in

The Detroit Tigers’ weekend homestand against the Kansas City Royals got off to a sluggish start on Friday night despite Michael Pineda’s return to the starting rotation, giving the team some much-needed quality innings. Ultimately, the offense sputtered out once again and AJ Hinch’s squad took the 3-1 loss that also saw rookie Spencer Torkelson

The Tigers bullpen blanked the Royals for four innings, but the offense wasted way too many chances as they dropped the first of a three-game home set against the Royals by a score of 3-1. Friday night marked the return of Michael Pineda to the Tigers’ rotation, and they sure do need him. With two

The Detroit Tigers wrapped up a modestly successful west coast road swing over the past week with a win over the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday afternoon, 3-2, thanks to a two-run bomb by Eric Haase and a solid start from Rony “The San Francisco Treat” Garcia to split the two-game series in the Golden

Louisville Bats 6, Toledo Mud Hens 2 (box) Drew Hutchison returned to the fold after testing the free agent waters and finding no interest. His first start back with the Hens didn’t go too well, and the offense went silent after building a slim early lead on Thursday. Zack Short got the Hens on the

Toledo Mud Hens 5, Louisville Bats 3 (box) The Hens made it two in a row over the Louisville Bats, the Cincinnati Reds affiliate, on Wednesday in Toledo. Garrett Hill put together a really strong start in this one, spinning six innings of one run ball. He blanked them for four innings before leaking a

The Detroit Tigers closed out an eight-game road trip with a 3-2 win over the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday afternoon. Eric Haase made the difference with his sixth home run of the year that came in a rather dramatic scenario. Of course, the two-run blast doesn’t mean much if Rony Garcia doesn’t give a

On the one hand, the Tigers will likely be glad to end this peculiar eight game barnstorming tour across the country from Boston to San Francisco via Phoenix. On the other, they’ll be returning to Detroit this weekend where the home crowd can yell at them some more. Either way, it would be a happier
