When the Detroit Tigers signed infielder Colt Keith in the fifth round of the 2020 MLB Draft, it was viewed as something of a coup. MLB Pipeline ranked Keith as the 87th player in the draft class, while Prospects Live had him 80th, and Baseball America ran him all the way up to 57. So…

The Tigers’ current seven-game win streak is the longest for the team since an eight-game run dating back to August of 2016. To put it in perspective, that was 59 months ago. The Detroit Tigers have put together a winning recipe with three essential ingredients: pitching, power, and the ability to beat the teams they should.
The Detroit Tigers are playing their best baseball of the season, and outfielder Robbie Grossman has been a big reason why. Grossman has homered three times his last seven games, and his 1.040 OPS in July is among the best in baseball.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Phil Coke is the ultimate Detroit Tigers hype-man. The bullpen phone rings and the call is in. The ginger reliever hurries to the mound, attempting what appears oddly similar to a tryout for the 100-meter dash.
Baseball data has become more refined as the years go on. It isn’t just batting averages or wins for a pitcher, there is wRC+, FIP, WAR, the list goes on and on. For any baseball fan or any Detroit Tigers fan, depending on how you watch the game, they could mean something or nothing at…
It sounds crazy, but the Detroit Tigers could find some help from a pair of players who have alienated themselves to the fanbase in their respective tenures. Christin Stewart and Renato Nunez continue to show out for the Toledo Mud Hens and might be an injury away from finding themselves back in Detroit yet this…
Well, it’s safe to say nobody saw this coming. It’s officially late-July and the Detroit Tigers are, while not exactly contending for an American League Wild Card slot, they are actually playing competitive baseball into the MLB trade deadline. This is a far cry from where the Tigers were expected to be heading into the…
The Detroit Tigers are off to an excellent start in the second half of the season, and it’s part of a general trend of solid baseball over the last two months. Things looked a bit sketchy for the Tigers as they dropped a four-game series to the Twins heading into the All-Star break. But the…
The Summer of the Bird will always be my main introduction to Detroit Tigers baseball as we lived with each thrilling start by young Mark Fidrych. Here we are 45 years later and for the first time, I can recall another young player has burst out of nowhere to capture the hearts and imaginations of…
(Photo by Nic Antaya/Getty Images) The highest branch of the Detroit Tigers’ farm system is Triple-A Toledo, and they pleased their fans and spectators all around with a dazzling 3-0 victory over a feisty Iowa Cubs roster. Mark Leiter Jr was on the mound for Toledo, and he has been nothing shy of spectacular since…
In yesterday’s victory over the Minnesota Twins yesterday afternoon to complete the sweep, there were a few highlights that the Detroit Tigers did to make this possible. Let’s start with Derek Hill’s steal in the 3rd inning. He would later score on a Miguel Cabrera single that made the game at that point 2 to…
Sometimes Twitter is the best place to take the temperature of Detroit Tigers fans, other times it could not be worse. The team is now exactly two weeks away from the trading deadline and while there has not been any publicity about the approach that GM Al Avila is taking, manager AJ Hinch sent a…
The Detroit Tigers start the second half of the season at 40-51. They came into the All-Star break looking tired as the bullpen in Minnesota coughed up leads in all four games in the series. But overall, despite being eleven games under .500, the Tigers have been entertaining to watch.
Living in Metro Detroit as a Detroit Tigers fan, you get caught up in the day-to-day grind that is baseball. You root for your favorite players and granted, you can sometimes forget to be objective. We all have our local heroes (Don Kelly) and the half-seasons that are still whispered about (Brennan Bosech, Chris Shelton)…
As a child of the ’80s, three things were ingrained into my childhood. 1. Detroit Tigers baseball, 2. Sci-fi and cartoons (Transformers, Ghostbusters) and 3. Whatever music my older brother listened to.
The dust is still settling from the 2021 MLB Draft, but teams like the Detroit Tigers are already hard at work scouting for next year’s draft. There was even a high-school all-star game in Denver last weekend, though with MLB’s muddled schedule of events, you can be forgiven for missing it.
The Detroit Tigers front office must be fans of Fallout Boys’ 2006 single “This Ain’t a Scene, It’s An Arms Race” or the real truth which is Detroit continued to load up on arms with potential upside as they close out the 2021 MLB Draft.
The Detroit Tigers spent 8 of their first 11 picks on pitching, so it figured they might go for more position players on Day Three. And that’s exactly what happened, with their first three picks of the day playing on the infield in some capacity.
The Detroit Tigers selected right-hander Jackson Jobe with the third pick in the first round, and to the disbelief of many fans, left shortstop and top prospect Marcelo Mayer up for grabs. As with any movement in the Tigers organization, fans did not miss a beat and an influx of bewildered comments on social media…
It didn’t take long for the Detroit Tigers to establish a drafting pattern in the 2021 MLB Draft: pitching, pitching, pitching. The Tigers had 11 picks in the first 10 rounds, and 7 of them were pitchers.
