It’s playoff time once again. While some other fanbases are focused on keeping their heart rate down as their team plays in the biggest games of the year, the Detroit Tigers faithful look on, hoping for a better future, and reflecting on the season that just played out. From any statistical viewpoint, from the eye

Here we are once again on the outside looking in at the postseason. It’s been a rough season for Detroit Tigers fans, but as baseball fans, now we get to enjoy postseason baseball without the joy and/or pain of having a stake in the matter. The new format is also going to play out pretty

Shortly after the conclusion of the World Series, the major league baseball off season will begin in earnest. The Detroit Tigers are expected to have a turbulent off season, with plenty of changes to the 40 man roster as they recover from an abysmal performance in the 2022 season and retool their lineup for the

The conclusion of the 2022 regular season for the Tigers ended in a 5-4 walk-off loss against the Mariners in Seattle. All games in the Major Leagues started today at 4:10 pm EDT… with one exception, which I’ll note below. I’ve decided to summarize each of today’s starting pitchers’ seasons in haiku form.

After going on a nice little tear down the stretch, the Tigers finally stumbled, losing both games of this doubleheader to the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday. The news that mattered was a really big day for Spencer Torkelson, in particular. He went yard deep once in both games, going 5-for-9 on the night. Mariners 7,

The Detroit Tigers continued their winning ways late Monday night (technically, the game ended after midnight making it Tuesday morning over here on the East Coast, but who’s keeping track?). The Tigers beat the Seattle Mariners, 4-3, and got a surprise quality start from Bryan Garcia. The 27-year-old only had three major-league starts under his

Well Tigers fans, the end of the 2022 campaign is nigh, and while it was anything but an exciting summer for the Olde English D, bad baseball is certainly better than no baseball at all. But as the pop culture reference goes, “Winter is coming,” and the darkness of the cold months is ready to

The final home game of the 2022 Detroit Tigers’ season ended in a 5-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins, on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon in Detroit. The Tigers took two out of three in their weekend series, and have been one of the hottest teams in baseball lately. I’ll keep the recap brief as I

As we enter the final week of the season, let’s take a look around some of the news from the Detroit Tigers and around the league. The first key piece of offseason news from the Tigers has arrived early. New President of Baseball Operations, Scott Harris, along with A.J. Hinch, had a sit down with

The Tigers played a clean, well pitched game and took advantage of a few key Twins mistakes to even the series at a game apiece on Saturday night. Things started well for the Tigers, though the squander monster was still in evidence. Drew Hutchison allowed a single but no more in the top of the

The Detroit Tigers’ season-high six-game winning streak came to an end Friday night against the Minnesota Twins. The Tigers fell 7-0 and looked nothing like the team that’s shown up for the past three series. Tyler Alexander looked like he was on his way to a third-straight quality start early, but things began to fall

They say “better late than never” and one could make that argument for the Detroit Tigers, who are currently riding a six-game winning streak — all against American League Central opponents — and have also taken the last three series. After yet another season that has worn the fanbase’s patience thin. the Motor City Kitties

There are many ways to build up a farm system. While the Detroit Tigers have been largely using high picks in the draft to do so, the international free agency period is an equally important aspect where the teams with top farm systems seem to consistently take advantage. The Tigers have not been among them.

The Detroit Tigers came into this one looking to make it six wins in a row and consecutive sweeps over division opponents. With the pitching matchup in their favor the chances of taking down the Royals seemed pretty good, and so it played out on a sunny autumn afternoon at Comerica Park. Eduardo Rodriguez got

The final day of the minor league season for the Detroit Tigers affiliates did not go the way we wanted. Still, it was a pretty strong year of development, with most of the club’s prospects making serious gains. The system is lacking in blue chip prospects, and worse, the blue chippers they graduated haven’t been

After a late scratch of Matt Manning moments before the start of the game due to “arm fatigue,” the bullpen pulled off a fantastic patchwork effort with a 2-1 victory, all the runs being scored in the first inning. Will Vest got the emergency start for the Tigers — and his first ever start as

Somerset Patriots 9, Erie SeaWolves 2 (box) In a must-win game for the Somerset Patriots, they jumped all over Erie SeaWolves pitching to run away with Game 2 of their best-of-three series for the Eastern League championships.
