Fans got defensive when the Detroit Tigers farm system was categorized by national folks as “top-heavy,” referencing the lack of big-league potential beyond the big five in the system: Casey Mize, Tarik Skubal, Matt Manning, Riley Greene, and Spencer Torkelson. After a flurry of top-five finishes in the farm system power rankings by several national…
The Detroit Tigers are off to one of the more inconsistent starts in recent memory; promptly getting swept by the Oakland Athletics after sweeping the Houston Astros in Houston on their most recent road trip. This teeter-totter start has many wondering which is the real Detroit Tigers team–but more likely, we can expect to see…
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
Particularly for pitchers, the path of their development in the minor leagues can be a twisty road filled with reversals, injuries, and bursts of improvement. When a young pitcher has already shown one plus pitch, and some moxie for pitching in big games under pressure, it’s worth being patient. Look no further than Detroit Tigers

Detroit Tigers fans who listen to the Tigers SRD podcast should be familiar with our Inside the Numbers segment. For those who don’t listen, we simply pick a number or two and then explain the context. It’s not groundbreaking, but we like to think it’s a good way to add some heft to stats that…
After a decidedly mixed bag of a road trip out west of the Mississippi, the Tigers return home to the Motor City in search of consistency. The offense looked like a force to be reckoned with against the Houston Astros, tallying 20 runs over three games. Against the Oakland Athletics though, they mustered only six
Getting cute in the major league draft isn’t easy. Despite the endless scheming of major league draft obsessives, saving bonus pool money in the early rounds with which to lure a good but not great prep prospect later on, just isn’t an easy trick to turn. Witness the Detroit Tigers draft in 2017, in which
The problem with a rollercoaster, is that you start at the bottom, and you’re ultimately let down again in the end. The middle part is a heck of a lot of fun though. So it was on the Detroit Tigers 10 game road trip out west. We still recall the wind in our hair and
This weekend, the Detroit Tigers were swept by the Oakland A’s and in the four-game series, there were a few key takeaways from the series that stood out. The obvious ones were the offense and two good starts from Matthew Boyd and Jose Urena.
A sweep for a sweep, apparently. After sweeping the first leg of their trip through the American League West, the Tigers were on the opposite end of a sweep against the Oakland Athletics. In the final game of their series in Oakland, Matthew Boyd and Chris Bassitt delivered an excellent pitcher’s duel that put runs
The Tigers missed an opportunity to pounce on their opponent Saturday, getting shut out for the second game in a row by a score of 7-0 for its third-straight loss in Oakland. Casey Mize did not live up to his billing against the A’s, getting shelled early before settling in for a few innings, but
Are you familiar with the Mandela Effect? For some Detroit Tigers fans, the Mandela Effect is a term you may not hear before but what it is according to various sources including the New York Times and named by paranormal researcher Fiona Broome:
The script is simple, but consistent. The Detroit Tigers do not hit on the west coast, and they proved it again on Saturday, getting dominated by a fifth starter type while Casey Mize was victimized by the long ball en route to a 7-0 loss, their third straight. Things went poorly from the start in
Akil Baddoo has rightfully been the talk of the early Detroit Tigers season. His first few games will remain legendary, and him dominating despite never playing above High-A made it all the more compelling.
