Velocity, velocity, velocity. It’s all the rage these days. But pitching is an art, and what makes it so isn’t just the reading of the radar gun. It’s what else you can add to the mix. Bob Gibson and Randy Johnson had the slider. Sandy Koufax and Clayton Kershaw leaned on the curveball. Trevor Hoffman’s
The Detroit Tigers owned the Houston Astros in their three-game sweep and made things even sweeter by trolling them on social media. What a week it has been for the Detroit Tigers.

After wincing after a swing in his fourth inning at-bat against the Houston Astros on Wednesday night, Detroit Tigers right fielder Nomar Mazara had to leave the contest in the middle of his at-bat. He was diagnosed with a abdominal strain in his left side, and today the Tigers have placed him on the 10-day
There have been plenty of great and unexpected stories from the Detroit Tigers early in the season, with many players defying expectation and making the club a heck of a lot of fun to watch. Not all of those stories are t-shirt worthy (Akil Baddoo’s breakout certainly has been), but we think one other player
The Detroit Tigers finished off an entertaining and impressive sweep of the Houston Astros last night. Just moments before the tense conclusion to that series, Chicago White Sox hurler Carlos Rodón completed the second no-hitter of the young season.

Hey, come here, kid. Derek Holland wanted to talk to Alex Lange on Saturday night in the Detroit Tigers‘ bullpen at Progressive Field in Cleveland. “He called me over and sat me down in the first inning and was just kind of going over some things to do,” Lange said. Lange, a 25-year-old right-handed reliever,

For the first time since June 14, 2018, Detroit Tigers right-hander Michael Fulmer walked out of a major-league ballpark as a winner. He pitched five innings against the Houston Astros in Wednesday’s 6-4 win, dispatching the first 11 batters he faced and giving up two runs. Fulmer’s first win in 1,035 days didn’t come out of
Jonathan Mayo and Jim Callis do an admirable job covering the entirety of the minor leagues. I know from first-hand experience it can be tough to cover one team to the fullest extent, let alone 30. Recently, MLB.com published their updated version of the Detroit Tigers top 30, complete with the new international signees and…
Some of us were there for the whole, inconceivable show in 1976. We watched that Saturday afternoon in May when he debuted as a starter and when something akin to baseball’s version of nuclear fission occurred on a baseball mound at Tiger Stadium. We saw the story build and grow in fury and fascination. Joined

Bryan Garcia inherited the bases loaded and no outs in the ninth inning. Controlling a three-run lead, the Detroit Tigers initially turned to right-hander Jose Cisnero. He gave up two walks and a single. Manager AJ Hinch called on Garcia, who ended last season as the team’s closer, to dust off the Houston Astros —
Well, well, well, within a span of three days we certainly pinballed from misery to exuberance with our Detroit Tigers. Those were some fun games in Houston. The team got great starting pitching, mashed the baseball, saw a little batted ball luck go their way, and the bullpen…hung on. Now the Tigers wing west to
By TC Zencka | April 14, 2021 at 10:00pm CDT Carlos Rodon was perfect through 8 1/3 innings tonight against the Indians. A backfoot slider skipped off the top of Roberto Perez’s right foot, ending his bid for a perfect game. Rodon managed to complete the no hitter, however, with a masterful 114-pitch complete game

Detroit Tigers outfielder Nomar Mazara departed from Wednesday’s game against the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park with a left abdominal strain. The timetable for Mazara’s return is unclear. “Right now, it’s day-to-day,” manager AJ Hinch said after the game. “I don’t have a ton of information on it. I generally have high concern when
In 1997, Major League Baseball honored Jackie Robinson by making his No. 42 the first uniform number to be retired across the sport. That said, players who were wearing No. 42 at the time were grandfathered in, meaning they could choose to continue wearing it until they retired. Thus, some teams have had a player
For three games at Minute Maid Park, the Detroit Tigers looked like a different team — and a much better team. After getting swept by Cleveland and falling into a four-game losing streak, manager AJ Hinch asked his players to respond. They most definitely got his message. The Tigers (6-6) swept the Houston Astros on
