Latest news and updates about the Tigers
It has been a rough month for the Detroit Tigers, who have just four wins in 15 tries so far in May after dropping two of three to the Toronto Blue Jays in the first leg of their seven-game homestand. The visitors struck early on Sunday, getting a pair of runs in the first and […]
Blue Jays 4 Tigers 1 We got more than two runs. Or actually, we got two runs twice: We only had six hits and one walk on the day. Vlad and Varsho had two each (and all the extra base hits). On the pitching side, Kevin Gausman was great. He went six innings, allowing just […]
The rubber match of a three-game weekend series against the Toronto Blue Jays took place on a sunny, summer-like Sunday afternoon in Detroit. Alas, the Tigers dropped the finale and thus the series by a 4-1 score. Jack Flaherty made his tenth start for the Tigers, and his troubles have been well-documented this season. His […]

Game Three with the Tigers and then the Jays head off for four games in New York against the Yankees. And Adam Macko is up with the team. He told reporters that he rushed around to buy ‘collared shirts’ to wear on the team bus, saying that he only had hoodies. It seems that I’ve […]
The Yankees were unable to maintain their momentum from the series opener, dropping the middle game by a score of 6-3 to the Mets. Carlos Rodón by his own admission continued to suffer from a lack of command, and the offense couldn’t produce the timely hit when they needed it most. Theirs was a relatively […]
The Detroit Tigers dropped their second extra-inning affair in the last four games on Saturday afternoon with a 2-1 loss in 10 innings at Comerica Park, tying the weekend series. The offense once again failed to show up and the bullpen simply did not have enough in it to hold on until the bats woke […]
Blue Jays 2 Tigers 1 (10 innings) Jays, I clearly asked for more than two runs today. But…..we won. I hate bullpen days……but they seem to work. The Jays game up just one run, on seven hits, with 14 strikeouts. It is tough to argue with success. The Jays used six pitchers: Offensively? We did […]
Casey Mize returned in fine form in this one, but the Detroit Tigers remain hamstrung offensively. The Toronto Blue Jays are having similar issues, but they pulled this one out in the tenth against Tyler Holton, and Louis Varland closed out the Tigers to even the series at a game apiece on Saturday afternoon. Saturday’s […]

Why don’t we score more than two runs? I have stuff on this morning, but should be back to watch the game by the second inning. But I’m putting together the GameThread the night before, so I don’t have the lineups They are saying Mason Fluharty will start and Spencer Miles will be second up. […]
The Detroit Tigers snapped a three-game losing streak on Friday night with a 3-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays in the first game of the home series this weekend. A strong pitching performance punctuated by a walk-off home run that finally gave the club a win in a close game. On Saturday, AJ Hinch […]
Beau Brieske got the start in this one as his rehab progression advanced to Triple-A. He gave up a run in the first, but tossed a clean second inning. Brieske averaged 95.9 mph on his fourseamer, and mixed in some good changeups in his outing. He looks fairly close to rejoining the Tigers. Will Vest […]
The Tigers came home from New York with their tails between their legs, hoping their fortunes would change with some home-cooking. An unexpected bullpen game (of sorts) with finally some strong pitching, a key stolen base and a well-placed line drive gave the Tigers a 3-2 victory in the opener of a three-game weekend series […]
Well, after a dramatic walk off victory on Wednesday we get a crushing walk off loss. Jeff Hoffman takes the L, but actually wasn’t really bad. The bigger problem was managing just five hits and two walks off a pretty bad bullpen in a game where the expected bulk guy was knocked out after two […]

I’m happy to have a series that’s not against the Rays. And it is on Apple TV. Stupid MLB. I’ve been to Comerica Park once, for one game. We’d gone to Lansing to watch the Lugnuts and the Tigers had a day game, while the Lugnuts were playing in the evening. So there was time […]
Well, the question over the past two weeks was whether the Detroit Tigers could hold it together long enough to start getting some help back off the injured list. Suffice it to say it hasn’t gone well. Losers of eight of their last ten games, the Tigers are still only 4.5 games behind first place […]
Monday afternoon, Baseball America published their Mock Draft 3.0, featuring the latest intel and scouting reports for each team. The Tigers, who will pick 22nd this year, were linked to high school outfielder Trevor Condon in the first round. Condon hails from the state of Georgia and is a well known player in this high […]
Fresh off a series win against the Tigers, the New York Mets (18-25) welcome the crosstown rival New York Yankees (27-17) to Citi Field for a Subway Series showdown. The two teams split their six games last year, with the road team taking two out of three in each instance. The Mets are 69-83 all-time […]
Happy Friday, everyone! Well, it’s been a dismal week to be a Tigers fan, that’s for sure. They were swept by the Mets, which is the first time all season the Mets have swept anyone. But they’re home again, they’re facing the Blue Jays this weekend, and hopefully they have some wins ahead. If we […]
Free of charge for the discerning reader. Happy birthday to Bill North, and a mighty host of others. Today in baseball history, for example, in 1935 – Lou Gehrig steals home in a 4-0 Yankee win over the Tigers. It is his 15th and last steal of home, all of which were double steals, and other stories as well. Plus, since there […]
The Detroit Tigers finished their six-game road trip on Thursday afternoon with a 9-4 defeat at the hands of the New York Mets, sweeping them out of the Big Apple and giving the team just one win over that stretch and losses in eight of the last nine. Injuries, poor defense and an anemic offense […]
While it was certainly a team effort, the collective of Mets’ rookies contributed a huge part to the club’s 9-4 win over the Tigers in the finale of their three game set this afternoon at Citi Field. The team worked through first inning trouble to come out on top for their third straight comeback victory […]
I would start this recap by talking about the importance of the Tigers avoiding a sweep, and how they need to come together to prove they are a better team than what we’ve been seeing from them, but that’s just stating the obvious at this point and the Mets are starting Nolan McLean, who totally […]
