In a first half that was marred by injuries mainly to the pitching staff and poor hitting mainly due to poor hitters, the Detroit Tigers find themselves in third place at the all star break5-1/2 games behind Cleveland. After posting a winning record of 16-11 for the month of May, the club found themselves within

With the 37th overall selection in the 2023 MLB draft, and the second draft selection by the Scott Harris administration, the Detroit Tigers selected middle infielder Kevin McGonick out of Monsignor Bonner High School (PA) on Sunday evening. McGonick joins No. 3 overall selection Max Clark (Franklin High School, IN) as the second prep bat

Although many expected the Detroit Tigers to walk away with one of the elite college bats in the 2023 MLB draft, Scott Harris and Co. went with Franklin Community High School outfielder Max Clark at No. 3 overall. For those who don’t know the name, Clark has been somewhat of a sensation on the high

Tarik Skubal pitched four shutout innings and the Tigers led 3-1 with two outs in the ninth inning, but Alex Lange gave up a walk and a game-tying home run, and Jose Cisnero gave up a run in extra innings to give the Toronto Blue Jays a 4-3 victory in the final game before the

The 2023 Major League Baseball amateur draft is set to begin on Sunday night in Seattle, Washington, to kick off the annual selection of top prospects from around the nation — both at the high school and college levels. This year’s draft class is packed with talent at the top of the order and the

Starting tonight, the 2023 amateur draft will give Scott Harris and his new scouting leadership their first crack at making big improvements in their talent pipeline. The Tigers are sitting in a really nice position this time around. They finished with the sixth worst record in 2022, but the inaugural draft lottery went well and

Matt Manning pitched 6 2⁄3 innings of no-hit ball, followed by Jason Foley for an inning and a third, before Alex Lange closed out the ninth to give the Tigers a 2-0 no-hit victory over the Toronto Blue Jays at Comerica Park on Saturday. It was the first combined no-hitter in Detroit Tigers history and

Well we had fun for a little while. On Friday night after the Tigers’ drubbing at the hands of the Toronto Blue Jays, Evan Petzold of the Freep reported that the club would finally be designating veteran infielder Jonathan Schoop for assignment on Saturday. The move corresponds with outfielder Riley Greene’s return from the 15-day

One very bad, no-good inning sank the Tigers in game 1 of their final series of the first half, but they didn’t play the other eight innings well enough to win either. The Tigers did not do much of anything well on Friday night, with defensive mistakes and poor at-bats scattered throughout their performance. After

The Detroit Tigers were bested in a three-game series against the Oakland Athletics this week at Comerica Park, dropping two of three to the lowly American League West division cellar-dwellers in the penultimate set ahead of this year’s All-Star Game. All that remains between the Motor City Kitties and their midseason breather are the Toronto

Louisville Bats 9, Toledo Mud Hens 5 (box) The Hens didn’t win on Thursday night, but there was plenty of good in the results. Riley Greene played center field most of the game and he crushed a solo shot to center field in the fifth. Based on A.J. Hinch’s comments on Thursday, Greene will likely

We had a little exchange last night in our BYB Slack channel. It went a little like this. Peter K: I’m convinced [the Tigers] get swept tomorrow. Me: They better not get swept tomorrow. I’m recapping that game. Well, in the finale of a three-game series in which Oakland beat the Tigers in a low-scoring

Yesterday we saw the really top-notch return of Tarik Skubal to the Tigers rotation, and today I think we were all collectively excited to see Eduardo Rodriguez back on the mound. I’m sorry to report that while Skubal’s first four innings back, we were not to have the same luck two nights in a row.

Talk about a tremendous return from Tarik Skubal. In his season debut, Skubal truly shined, no-hitting the A’s through four innings, and really looking to be in great shape. But before I get too carried away in enthusiasm for Skubal, let’s go back to the beginning and see how it all came together. Skubal had

The Detroit Tigers return home to kick off their penultimate series ahead of this summer’s All-Star Game hosting the lowly Oakland Athletics for a three-game set starting on Tuesday. Hopefully, the Motor City Kitties can put on a fireworks show for the Fourth of July festivities and build on the series win against the Colorado

In four seasons with the Detroit Tigers, Jose Cisnero has never topped out as the best reliever in the bullpen. Yet he’s been durable and effective now for a long time in reliever years. Since his fairly remarkable return to the major leagues in June of 2019, the 34-year-old right-hander has remained a stabilizing piece

Another day, another Detroit Tigers pitcher gets injured: just this week Matthew Boyd got sent away for Tommy John surgery, and soon after that, Reese Olson took a comebacker off the leg. Fortunately, Olson appears good to go in his next outing, but add to those the long-term loss of Eduardo Rodriguez, Alex Faedo, and
