The pizza spear (which, in the true tradition of baseball, has

Don’t look now, but Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene is healthy and on the cusp of a major breakout in the early going. The 23-year-old outfielder seems to be regarded as almost an afterthought around the league, but there’s a good chance they haven’t seen anything yet. As a 21-year-old, Greene held his own better

Toledo Mud Hens vs. Worcester Red Sox (postponed) They’ll play two tomorrow in Toledo after getting rained out on Tuesday night.

There were a few big pieces of news from the Detroit Tigers’ farm system this week. Max Clark stayed hot and hit his first home run.

After playing some of the best defense in the league through 15 games, the past week has been another story. Reese Olson wasn’t very sharp and did get numerous excellent plays turned behind him on a day when his command wasn’t good. But while I rarely pin a loss on one player, two meltdowns from

Jack Flaherty spun a really good game, and the Tigers bats continued to heat up on a chilly night in the Twin Cities.
