Bless You Boys

On a night where Miguel Cabrera pulled to within one of the storied 3,000 hit plateau, the Tigers dropped the second game of the series to the New York Yankees 5-3 and their third straight game overall. Eduardo Rodriguez started for Detroit and threw his first quality start of the season, but once again the

Luis Severino hasn’t been able stay on the mound for more than 12 innings since 2018, and he’s back this year fully healthy, with all the fire and fury of an apocalyptic horseman. In two starts, his fastball velocity have averaged 97.6 miles per hour. Combined with a changeup that has been a weapon throughout

Early season injuries are just a normal part of baseball, particularly for pitchers. However, the Tigers do seem to be dealing with more than their fair share already. Fortunately, none of them appear serious enough to endanger a players’ whole season just yet. The litany of injuries for the Tigers began with relievers Kyle Funkhouser,

After a Kansas City rainout on Sunday and a snowy Michigan off-day on Monday, the Tigers returned to the field on Tuesday evening to take on the New York Yankees. Since it was a game involving the Yankees, it took forever. How does this not drive Yankee fans crazy? Anyway, in the end, the Tigers

MiLB TV is a wonderful tool that allows prospect hounds like myself to get eyes on the future of the Detroit Tigers. There are a lot of teams that stream games, however there are only two in the Florida State League that stream. The Tigers Low-A team, the Lakeland Flying Tigers, are in that league,

There has been plenty of bad blood between the Tigers and Yankees in the past, from Rookie of the Year voting to bench-clearing brawls. But the two teams are not generally considered to be rivals. Still, there’s always a good chance of sparks flying when these two clubs meet up, and before things get interesting

Three series into the season, there is not a ton that jumps out about the 2022 Detroit Tigers just yet. The team is near the bottom in runs scored, which was to be expected given the current lineup, and around league-average in runs allowed, which is what has kept the team near .500. All four

The Detroit Tigers were unable to keep up their winning ways on Saturday afternoon, taking a 3-1 loss against the Kansas City Royals on the road as the injury bug continues to rear its ugly head. After losing Casey Mize to injury on Friday, the Motor City Kitties got another scare when Matt Manning was

Injuries are, of course, a part of baseball like any sport. Particularly early in the year, pitcher injuries inevitably re-shape bullpens and starting rotations even before Opening Day. The Detroit Tigers have had more than their share already, and it’s going to be tough to keep around the .500 mark for the next few weeks

Well, they say bad news comes in threes. Yesterday was the gut punch news of Casey Mize landing on the IL with what was revealed today to be a strain in his elbow ligament. This was followed by the 10-day IL placement of Javier Báez before the game. And during today’s game, which the Tigers

Saturday afternoon, the Tigers announced that shortstop Javier Báez has been placed on the 10-day injured list because of soreness in his right thumb. A corresponding roster move has yet to be announced. The move is retroactive to April 13. The decision to move Báez to the injured list isn’t much of a surprise. He’s

The Detroit Tigers took the second of a four-game road series against the Kansas City Royals on Friday night, 2-1, with rookie Spencer Torkelson playing the role of Moses delivering the Motor City Kitties to the promised land with a two-run home run in the seventh inning. Tarik Skubal looked sharp on the mound, mixing

Look, we’re going to see the Royals a whole bunch this season, so I’m not going to drag this out. It was a game. The Tigers played the Royals. Obviously, it was wonderful to see everyone wearing number 42, and a cool thing where the number was Dodger blue for all uniforms. Tarik Skubal looked

The news is not good. While fans spent much of the day wondering when Javier Báez and Robbie Grossman would return to action, baseball had something else brewing. The Detroit Tigers placed starter Casey Mize on the 10-day injured list Friday evening with a right elbow sprain. Mize put together a decent outing against the

The Detroit Tigers opened up their three-game road series against the Kansas City Royals on Thursday night with a 4-2 win. Casey Mize showed improvement over his first performance of the season last weekend against the Chicago White Sox, ultimately winning the war against future Hall of Famer Zach Greinke, while Miguel Cabrera drew closer

There’s nothing quite like experiencing a game in person. You can watch hundreds of games on TV or listen to them on the radio, but being in the stands or behind home plate for an actual in-person experience is its own kind of magic. This past week as the new season unfolded we saw comeback

Toledo Mud Hens 8, Iowa Cubs 6 (box) Joey Wentz was in three true outcomes mode in his second start of the season, but the offense poured it on late for a comeback victory. Jamie Westbrook tied things up with a solo shot to lead off the ninth, and the Cubs bullpen came unglued, wild

I have a very clear memory of recapping a game last season between the Tigers and the Astros that featured a matchup between Casey Mize and Zack Greinke. In that game I also remember losing my mind watching Greinke pitch a 30-ish mph eephus pitch. Anyway, it was delightful and this is a very roundabout

This is likely to be the last year where we have to see our divisional rivals 19 times a season, with the 2023 season promising to see more diversity in match-ups with every team facing each other at least once every year. Still 2022 is a classic year where we’ll be seeing a lot of
