Today’s Jays’ game is not on TV, one of the few that aren’t on TV. The game is at Lakeland, Florida in the Tigers’ spring park, Publix Field at Joker Marchant Stadium which has to be up there on the list of longest ballpark names, as well as getting two sponsor names into it. It […]

Now that we get Statcast data from Triple-A, Single-A, and spring training games, it’s a lot easily to find notable details in pitching performances. Even when things go poorly in early outings as pitchers and hitters shake off the winter rust, you can still get a nice baseline on pitchers’ velocity and movement profiles, and […]

Spring training is officially here, and while it still feels a lot like winter in a lot of places, Florida and Arizona have been buzzing with activity this week. The Detroit Tigers are already four games deep into their spring training schedule with three losses and a tie, and have their first split-squad game scheduled […]

Happy Wednesday everyone! We’ve had real baseball on our screens, complete with curmudgeon announcers griping about players with too many chains, and hot Tigers’ prospects missing some routine fly balls (both Max Clark, sorry Max). But more important than any of that: we have been able to see and hear the Tigers play, which means […]

The Atlanta Braves will be continuing their spring training today as they face off against the Detroit Tigers in North Port, FL. What typically happens in these games is we get to see mostly players who are slotted to have significant playing time during the regular season. Reynaldo López is making his long-awaited return after […]

Three games into the Cactus League and the A’s have collected twenty-five hits, resulting in only four runs and zero wins. Their run differential currently sits at negative nineteen, better than the Detroit Tigers by a single run. The only team with more losses are the Milwaukee Brewers, and that’s only because they’ve played more […]

Something the Detroit Tigers have lacked for a long, long time is speed. Sure, they have some players who can run and plenty who grade out around average, but I’m talking about a real burner. A guy who is a threat to steal a bag every time he gets on base. At various times over […]

First Pitch (CT): 12:05TV: NARadio: Tigers – WXYT 1270Know Yo’ Foe: Bless You Boys We don’t normally include a lot of info on Spring Training games, but let’s try a new “what to watch” section since stats and results and ultimate don’t matter.

The Detroit Tigers prep leaning draft classes under Scott Harris have pointed the organization in a new direction in talent acquisition over the last three years. While his draft classes were more college heavy, former GM Al Avila had some success in the prep ranks as well, drafting Riley Greene and then hitting on Colt […]

It’s almost that time again: the sixth edition of the World Baseball Classic, played once every four-ish years, is starting on March 4 with Chinese Taipei (Taiwan) playing Australia in the Tokyo Dome. The last edition was in 2023; there should have been tournaments in 2021 and 2025, but a global pandemic got in the […]

If you’ve gotten accustomed to Orioles spring training games being on television after the first two games of the schedule, tough luck today. No video feed! The game will at least be broadcast on 98 Rock (97.9 FM) in the Baltimore vicinity, or online anywhere you can access that feed. The O’s are on the […]

Well Game 1 of spring training is in the books, and let’s just forget that one happened, ok? The Yankees bludgeoned a chorus of Tigers minor league relievers to win 20-3 on Saturday. Yeah, it doesn’t matter, but nobody likes getting shelled out of the park. The key notes on the Tigers’ side was a […]

MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: Aaron Judge and Spencer Jones both went deep on Saturday as the Yankees steamrolled the Detroit Tigers 20-3. Jones’ homer was no cheapy, leaving the bat at 111.7 mph and traveling an official 408 feet (though the outfielder chided that metric as conservative). Judge expressed optimism about Jones’ reworked swing. “He doesn’t […]

Elmer Rodríguez showed why he’s the Yankees’ top pitching prospect in yesterday’s Grapefruit League opener, and today is Carlos Lagrange’s first chance to impress as he also makes a case for some 2026 MLB playing time. Lagrange stands a dominant 6-foot-7 with a 70-grade fastball and above-average slider, and while he finished last year with […]

One of my all-time favourites, Devon Travis, turns 35 today. Travis joined the Blue Jays in a trade with the Tigers on November 13, 2014, with Anthony Gose heading to Detroit. Travis ranked #84 on Baseball America’s top 100 prospects list. Gose, though speedy, had been a disappointment for us, hitting .247/.315/.363 with 34 stolen […]

On Saturday, we get to watch the Detroit Tigers play a baseball game for the first time since their ALDS loss to the Mariners. A lot has happened in the interim, and it’s great to be back. Truth be told, how to watch Tigers baseball is still up in the air as Grapefruit League action […]

Happy Friday, everyone! We’ve made it through the week, thank goodness, and our reward is the official return of baseball games! Sure, you can say Spring Training doesn’t matter, but tell that to a fan who has been starved for live games since October. The Tigers won’t have their first game until tomorrow, but hey, […]

For me, there’s a clear answer here but it’s not the one you’re thinking. There’s division rivals and the historic, heated division races the Twins have had with the Tigers through the 2000s and White Sox in the late 2010s. There’s the Yankees, the source of Minnesota’s postseason misery for nearly two decades. The Dodgers […]

Heading into last year’s Spring Training, one-time pitching coach J.P. Martinez was excited by the prospect of having “15 or 16 legitimate starters” to work with and the overall feeling that — especially with the signing of Justin Verlander — the team had an almost glut of pitching depth. Depth doesn’t always mean starting pitching, […]
