TORONTO – On the flight home from Seattle after a crushing Game 5 loss left the Toronto Blue Jays down 3-2 in the American League Championship Series, John Schneider and his players looked at each other and said, “Good.” The word had become a mantra for the team, adopted from a clip of Jocko Willink, a former U.S. Navy SEAL turned author and podcaster, who preaches a “Good” mindset as a way to adapt when obstacles arise. So, their season on the line last October, “it was like, OK, good, what a...

TORONTO — In Keider Montero’s return from the paternity list, he battled a pesky Blue Jays offense and helped keep the score close, but the Tigers’ bats sputtered and their six-game winning streak ended with a 5-1 loss at Rogers Centre on Wednesday. Don’t miss Friday Night Fireworks on Sept. 25! The 26-year-old righty worked around traffic on the bases in all four innings he pitched, but the dam eventually broke in the fourth as a walk, double and sacrifice fly scored the two runs Montero allo...
Tigers 1 Blue Jays 5 Nice to win one again. We got a great start from Max Scherzer. Five innings, gave up a run in the first on a double (well, a pop-up that no one got under) and a single, but allowed only one more hit the rest of the way and added three […]
The Tigers’ winning streak ended at six as they lost to the Jays 5-1. On Wednesday afternoon, the Tigers were hoping to continue their winning streak by sweeping the Blue Jays. To get the job done, they had new dad Keider Montero on the mound, up against old friend Max Scherzer for the Jays. Colt […]
ESPN named Kevin McGonigle the Tigers' biggest success story, and his 6.7 WAR backs it up. #Tigers

Just win, ok? I hate weekday day games, but today it is ok. I kind of needed a day of letting the little aches and pains ease off. Most of the time I think I’m still 30, but occasionally But it would make my aches feel better if we win. Today’s Lineups TIGERS BLUE JAYS […]
Postseason baseball is right around the corner, which means it’s time to analyze a certain starting pitcher who seems to have American League Cy Young honors pretty much wrapped up with a bow. I’m talking about New York Yankees ace Cam Schlittler, who’s in the midst of an incredibly successful second season in the majors and looks like he’ll be a force in the league for a long time. After former Detroit Tigers star Tarik Skubal walked away with the American League Cy Young in both 2024 and 202...
The Jays and Tigers play at 3:00 Eastern. The Jays, either during or after last night’s game, decided to change around the starting pitching plans for the rest of the way. And, Max, no pressure, but you need to get us some innings tonight. I really expected some pitching moves this morning. I’m still expecting […]
The Giants cut this Tigers catcher in May. Tuesday night he made them pay. #Tigers
Happy Wednesday, everyone! We are enjoying a little unexpected winning streak, and I, for one, would like to see it go as long as possible, because winning baseball games is the most fun. We’ve got some little news bites to get you through your day, including looking at who the successes and disappointments of the […]
The Detroit Tigers have been on a roll of late, notching their sixth straight win on Tuesday night against the Toronto Blue Jays with a 10-1 triumph at the Rogers Center. If this keeps up, perhaps AJ Hinch and Co. might just sneak into the playoffs — but do not get your hopes too high […]
Tigers 10 Blue Jays 1 That was less than fun. We’ve done well on bullpen days, but the problem with bullpen days is if it doesn’t go to plan, you can’t really change on the fly. If a pitcher is having a bad day, you really have to use him anyway. Especially if it is […]
TORONTO — Bullpen games as a matter of course are usually a last resort rather than a choice, one the Toronto Blue Jays have been forced into with eight starting pitchers, a full rotation and three-fifths, currently on the injured list. By and large they’ve done well with them, too, covering over various gaps as starter after starter has gone done this season. But the perils of running them as often as they have this season are being exposed in this suddenly costly series against the Detroit T...

The Toronto Blue Jays could be without one of their top defensive players as they continue to battle for the final American League wild-card spot. Blue Jays shortstop Andres Gimenez was announced as “day-to-day” by manager John Schneider following the team’s 10-1 defeat to the Detroit Tigers Tuesday. Schneider said Gimenez was dealing with some hamstring soreness. The 28-year-old started for the Blue Jays at shortstop but wasn’t seen when the team came out for the eighth inning. Ernie Clement ...
A blowout loss is forcing the Toronto Blue Jays to alter their pitching plans for a critical series this weekend. The Blue Jays used six pitchers in Tuesday’s 10-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers, including Spencer Arrighetti, who was supposed to start on Friday against the Texas Rangers. As a result, Dylan Cease and Jose Soriano will each move up a day, with Cease starting Friday and Soriano starting Saturday against the Rangers. Blue Jays manager John Schneider said the decision to pitch Arrighet...
TORONTO — Drew Anderson had his best start since rejoining the Tigers’ rotation on Tuesday, shutting down the Blue Jays over five two-hit innings as they cruised to a 10-1 victory for their sixth straight win. Don’t miss Friday Night Fireworks on Sept. 25! Detroit’s AL Wild Card chances are still slim — they remain 4 1/2 games back of the final spot and entered play Tuesday with 1% playoff odds, according to FanGraphs. But Anderson did all he could to continue the Tigers’ improbable push. Even...
The 2026 Detroit Tigers are not going quietly into that good night. The youth movement, with some assistance from Spencer Torkelson, victimized a pretty shoddy looking Toronto Blue Jays’ staff with 10 hits and eight walks to crush them 10-1 on Roberto Clemente Day. That makes six straight for the Kitties. Drew Anderson got the […]
Seven Milwaukee Brewers prospects are headed to the desert after Major League Baseball released its 2026 Arizona Fall League rosters this week. Milwaukee’s group will play for the Scottsdale Scorpions, alongside prospects from the Houston Astros, San Francisco Giants, Tampa Bay Rays and Detroit Tigers. The AFL season opens Saturday, Oct. 3. The championship game [...]

Game Two against the Tigers. The latest in a series of what we’ll be told are ‘must win’ games. This one is a bullpen game. I don’t know what the plan is after Fisher. So the bad news is that Trey Yesavage had a rough time throwing tonight in for Buffalo. He got just two […]
