Since he arrived in a deal with the Miami Marlins back on December 4, 2007, it’s been a truism that as Miguel Cabrera goes, so go the Detroit Tigers. So far in 2021, the club is two for two when Cabrera hits a home run. His first was the artful snow globe home run on

Oh hey, guys, this game had terrible, terrible defense on show, but the Tigers won so it was actually still pretty fun? The Tigers got things started early and in the best way possible with a Miguel Cabrera solo home run in the first inning. It’s a lovely treat for the team to lead in

As Detroit Tigers head to the south side of Chicago for a three-game series with the Chicago White Sox, rookies Yermín Mercedes and Akil Baddoo have been among the most popular topics of discussion among the fans on social media.
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
There is an understandable air of negativity around the Detroit Tigers right now. No one thought the Tigers would compete this year, but it was reasonable to expect some kind of progress. Instead the Detroit Tigers look like the worst team in baseball. Of course 23 games doesn’t make a season, and there are some…
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
Things are bad for the Detroit Tigers right now. Very bad. They are averaging just 3.05 runs per game, which is the lowest in baseball. Their 67 runs through 22 games is the 6th lowest total in franchise history, and the worst since the infamous 2003 season.
The feel-good feeling from the Houston Astros series for the Detroit Tigers has clearly vanished into thin air as the frustrations of the team’s recent struggles have spilled onto social media. Venting on social media is nothing new. If you go back to the days of newspapers, social media just another evolution of the “keyboard…
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
Fellow contributor Jacob Boes mentioned recently that 97.1 The Ticket had a call-in opinion that there were four players he did not want to see again: Joe Jimenez, Jacoby Jones, Niko Goodrum, and Jonathon Schoop. I am going to discuss four players from the Detroit Tigers’ 40-man roster that I do not want to see…
(Co-Contributor’s note: This editorial is the first piece from Christopher Mangum, a student at the University of Michigan) In late 2007, the Detroit Tigers acquired a 24-year-old Miguel Cabrera from the then Florida Marlins, a move which would end up introducing Cabrera to his home for what we can assume will be the rest of his career. In his…
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
Has Matthew Boyd emerged from the doldrums of recent seasons and started to rediscover the form that put him on the map? Or is it too early and Boyd is still in “Show Me” territory? Well, folks, let’s be honest…it’s five starts. The calendar still says “April”. It’s five good starts mind you, but Boyd…
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
