A detailed list of nope about the Detroit Tigers
For many years, fans of Midwest and northeast teams wondered why MLB didn’t schedule most early series in warmer weather. Now, for two seasons they’ve made it happen. Just like the 2025 season, when they opened against the Dodgers and the Mariners on the road, the Tigers opening road trip has ended with a 2-4 […]
There’s something a lot of the BYB writing crew have in common, something we think we share with a fair number of our regular site visitors: we love to read. Several of us even have real life jobs that are related to books in some capacity. So we thought it seemed like an ideal opportunity […]
Mets 4, Mud Hens 2 (box) So far, the Tigers’ Triple-A affiliate has mirrored the big league club to a degree. Wenceel Pérez has the sole home run through five games. Of course that’s a lot more understandable when you’re playing in upstate New York this time of year. On the pitching side, the bullpen […]
West Coast game times, we won’t miss you! The initial two series of the Tigers season have been rough for anyone with a strict bedtime, and the results have been more mixed than fans would have liked, but the Tigers took to the field on Wednesday hoping to keep the Diamondbacks from completing the series […]

After opening the 2026 campaign with a three-game sweep of the San Diego Padres, the Detroit Tigers are in danger of getting swept in their second series of the season against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Phoenix. The first two games have resulted in a 9-6 loss on Monday night and a 7-5 loss on Tuesday […]
My love for Colt Keith knows no bounds. There’s no style of prospect I love more than a middle infielder with plus hit and power tools, which Keith was as he tore his way through the minor leagues. You know I love this guy: in the last month, I’ve written an article about how he […]
Hens 5, Mets 1 (F/7) The Mud Hens came out on top in the first of six against the Syracuse Mets on Tuesday afternoon. The Hens pounced on the Mets in the top of the first and cruised to victory as the game was called in the seventh due to rain. Veteran Cubs’ closer Carl […]
A night after a not-quite-comeback in Arizona on Monday, the Tigers were the ones with the comfortable lead for most of the game on Tuesday before it all went belly-up late in the game, ending up with a 7-5 loss. Making his season debut for the Tigers was Casey Mize, who had a generally solid […]

Kerry Carpenter has been in a pretty rough place this spring. After a fairly good, but again injury plagued 2025 season, the Tigers’ right fielder and designated hitter came into camp looking to put together a more consistent 2026 and hopefully finally banish the back and hamstring injuries that have nagged at him for much […]
The Detroit Tigers floundered in the opening game of their road series against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night, as Justin Verlander was anything but in vintage form in the team’s 9-6 loss. They will get another shot on Tuesday night in the desert behind their former No. 1 draft pick, Casey Mize, who opens […]
Things finally came full circle after eight years and seven months away from home. Justin Verlander returned to the mound in regular season action as a Detroit Tiger on Monday night in Arizona. Were you nervous? I’ve rarely had the mix of excitement and nerves I felt going into this one except in September and […]

The Detroit Tigers won their first series of the season against the San Diego Padres and now move on to the next leg of the 2026 campaign-opening road trip at the Arizona Diamondbacks this week, starting on Monday night. So far, in an obviously limited sample size, AJ Hinch’s team is in the lower half […]
(F/10) Lehigh Valley IronPigs 8, Toledo Mud Hens 7 (box) The Toledo Mud Hens had plenty of chances to end their three-game opening series against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs with a win, but some late mistakes from the bullpen led to an 8-7 walk-off loss. Max Clark notched his first hits of the season and […]
All throughout spring training, a tough question in Detroit Tigers camp was who would take the last spot in their bullpen. Their seven best relief options were pretty obvious, other than the question of whether Keider Montero would stay stretched out to start or not, but no one stepped to take the last right-handed spot […]
Lehigh Valley IronPigs 1, Toledo Mud Hens 0 (box) The Toledo Mud Hens never got going in a Saturday night 1-0 loss to the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. A pair of rehabbing major leaguers set the tone on the mound for the IronPigs, and the Mud Hens couldn’t capitalize, failing to push across the equalizer. Mud […]
This is a yearly tradition here at Bless You Boys. We’re all going to be hanging out in game and article threads all year long, so let’s take advantage of the first off day for a little meet and greet. Bless You Boys is roughly 20 years old. We don’t actually know the early origin […]
The Detroit Tigers took the field on a lovely night in San Diego, looking to complete a road sweep of the Padres to open the season. It didn’t work out that way, though they continued to keep the Padres offense in check. The Tigers hitters were a little too jumpy against Padres’ pitching, with only […]

The Detroit Tigers have kicked off the 2026 campaign strong, having already clinched the season-opening series against the San Diego Padres with a 5-2 win on Friday night. On Saturday, they go for the sweep, which would complete the reversal of last season’s start. So far, the visitors have outscored the home team, 13-4, behind […]
Lehigh Valley IronPigs 5, Toledo Mud Hens 2 (box) The Mud Hens took an early lead in their International League opener in Lehigh Valley, but the offense ran out of gas and the Hens bullpen floundered late to lose it. Sean Guenther got the spot start and had to pitch through a minor jam in […]
The first game of the season was a smashing success: rookies mashing, pitchers dazzling, and a can of whoop-butt was opened right off the hop. Would the Tigers be able to duplicate their early success in San Diego on Friday night too? Well, it took a few innings to come to fruition, but just like […]
