Bless You Boys

If you’ve taken one thing away from our scouting reports thus far, it should be the lack of high percentage bats in the Detroit Tigers farm system. They have a lot more potential built in at this point than they have in many years, but most of the infielders and outfielders we’ve profiled already are

Remember sweeping the Astros? Ah, to go back to two weeks ago. Since then, the Detroit Tigers have lost a pair of four-game series and two of three against the Royals, dropping their record down to 7-16, already eight games back in the division. While this whole season will not be this bad (right? please?)

The end of a four-game series with the Kansas City Royals mercifully came today, on a chilly Michigan Monday, with a 3-2 loss. Spencer “Big Red” Turnbull and Brad “The Georgia Peach” Keller, two extreme-groundball pitchers, started today, so the worms at Comerica Park were on high alert the whole afternoon. Keller’s season so far

This may blow your mind, but the Detroit Tigers technically aren’t even the worst offense in baseball in the early going. Shout out to the Colorado Rockies and their combined 76 wRC+ for checking in two points lower than our home team. The Milwaukee Brewers’ offense, yes they of the 13-8 record, actually has a

Mired in an ages-long rebuild and with a farm system that isn’t known for players possessing high-end athleticism, outfielder Parker Meadows is a bastion of unrefined physical gifts lurking under the surface of Detroit Tigers prospect coverage. It can sometimes be easy to forget about Meadows, which is peculiar considering he was the first pick

Oof! Amirite? Guys, I’m usually writing this weekly entry on a day where we get a breather. A chance to reflect on the fortunes of our team, be they good or bad. There will be no such reprieve today. This team currently stands in the corner, gloves pulled tightly against it’s skull, shelled up and

Game three of a four-game set between the AL Central-leading Kansas City Royals and the Detroit Tigers saw the Tigers try to work towards a split, as the Royals had taken the first two games. Despite some generally good pitching by the Tigers all series and again today, the bats just haven’t been there and

I do not want to brag, but I pretty much called Saturday’s game in my previous preview as Detroit Tigers ace Matthew Boyd faced off against Kansas City Royals phenom Brady Singer in a pitchers duel that resulted in a 2-1 loss for the good guys. There was little doubt that it would be a

Matthew Boyd put together another outstanding outing on Saturday, but it was wasted in a pitcher’s duel with the Kansas City Royals’ Brady Singer as the Tigers fell 2-1. Boyd and Singer locked up for a pretty good pitching matchup in this one, as each spun four scoreless frames to start their respective outings. Boyd

The Detroit Tigers stumbled out of the gates in its four-game homestand against the Kansas City Royals, dropping the first game 6-2 on Friday night. Casey Mize was anything but mighty against the KC onslaught, allowing all six runs in 4 2⁄3 innings in his first rough outing after two sparkling performances to start 2021.

Let’s start out with the obvious, here. The Detroit Tigers did not win the first game in their four-game series against the Kansas City Royals. KC, who are off to a hot start and inexplicably are winning the AL Central, just came off their first series loss of the season against the Rays, and they

A week ago, the Detroit Tigers headed to Oakland off of an impressive sweep of the Astros and a winning percentage back up to .500. All of those good feelings are long gone, though, after dropping all four to the Athletics and two of three against Pittsburgh. The offense averaged just over two runs a

The final game of a three-game set, the first pair coming yesterday in a split doubleheader, saw the Pirates take the series with a 4-2 win on a pair of runs in the eighth inning. The calendar said April, but the weather sure didn’t agree: it was a chilly 43°F (6°C) and a breezy 15

After a disappointing Wednesday afternoon, the Detroit Tigers rebounded in the night cap of the double header to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-2. Spencer Turnbull was activated off the injured list to make his first start of the season, and boy was it a promising outing. And although it wasn’t a world-altering performance out of

Well Renato Nuñez, we barely knew ye. The Detroit Tigers announced on Wednesday that they had selected the contract of infielder Zack Short from Triple-A Toledo. To open the roster spot, they designated Nuñez for assignment. Short was acquired in a deal with the Chicago Cubs for Cameron Maybin last year. He’s a good shortstop

On a rather frigid Detroit afternoon, a matchup of two weak lineups boded well for a fast-paced pitcher’s duel, and we got it, for a while. In the end, Michael Fulmer got singled to death in his final inning of work, and that was enough for the Pirates to hold on and win the first

Ah Michigan, land of 70 degree days in January, and snow in late April. Frankly the weather on Tuesday wasn’t any worse than Opening Day, but conditions were a little slippery and the move to combine them into a pair of seven inning games today was a wise one. As a result, we’ve got the
