A detailed list of nope about the Detroit Tigers
The Detroit Tigers opened up their four-game road series at the Minnesota Twins on Monday night with a 7-3 loss. Casey Mize struggled in the frigid temperatures, while the bats also went cold. Tuesday night offers an opportunity to knot things up with the Twinkies behind the best left-handed pitcher in the world, Tarik Skubal. […]
It only took a week for Major League pitchers to realize they had a problem: how on Earth do you get Kevin McGonigle out? Examining his minor league track record gives no obvious answer. As a 20 year old last year, he posted a combined .305/.408/.583 slash line and a 1.28 BB/K ratio between High-A […]
On a frigid night in Minnesota, the Twisn perservered while the Tigers continued to make a mess of things, falling 7-3 in the first of four in the Twin Cities. The Tigers continued to draw tons of walks and then fail to cash in baserunners, while the usual rollercoaster that is Casey Mize followed a […]

The Detroit Tigers were unable to complete the sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals at home on Sunday night, falling 5-3 to end their first homestand of the 2026 campaign. Now, the Motor City Kitties go back on the road for a four-game series at the Minnesota Twins starting on Monday. After nine games played […]
Syracuse Mets 4, Toledo Mud Hens 3 (box) Toledo led for eight innings, but a ninth-inning collapse allowed the Syracuse Mets to walk off the Mud Hens, 4-3. After tons of offense yesterday, we got an old-fashioned pitchers’ duel through five in Syracuse. Carlos Pena looked sharp in his first start of the year, giving […]
A day after the Tigers secured the series victory — but lost Justin Verlander to the Injured List with a hip problem — they went for the series sweep on a chilly, breezy Sunday night. A costly throwing error by a Tigers pitcher against the Cardinals (déja-vu, anyone?) undid an early lead and sent Detroit […]

The Detroit Tigers have opened up their 2026 home schedule with a pair of wins against the St. Louis Cardinals and are looking to finish off the sweep on Sunday night in front of a national TV audience. Originally, Justin Verlander was supposed to make his Comerica Park debut in the finale of the three-game […]
It’s 2026, which means baseball is partially governed by robots. More precisely, the Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) system is in place with the challenge system. Lots of ink, including our own, has been spilled on the new system; personally, I’m a fan of this intermediate step between letting CB Bucknor do whatever he wants and replacing […]
Syracuse Mets 9, Toledo Mud Hens 7 (box) Toledo and Syracuse traded runs over the first five innings before settling at a 7-7 tie in the fifth. The Mets took the lead for good in the sixth and added an insurance run in the eighth, eventually beating the Mud Hens 9-7. Joander Suarez didn’t give […]
The Tigers made it 2-0 at home and 4-4 overall with a convincing show of power on Saturday. The pitching, particularly Jack Flaherty, was pretty sketchy, but four home runs from the Tigers set things right in a game that devolved into a slop fest in the bottom of the eighth and top of the […]

Toledo Mud Hens 7, Syracuse Mets 1 (box) Hens pitching was on point again against a good offense, and the Bats lit up Mets’ pitching again to take a 3-1 lead in the best of six series on Friday. Max Clark continues to rake in his first look at the Triple-A level. He still has […]
The Detroit Tigers were victorious in their 2026 home opener on Friday, snapping a four-game losing streak with a 4-0 win over the visiting St. Louis Cardinals. They look to secure their second series win of the season on Saturday in another early duel starting at 1:10 p.m. ET. Next up in the rotation is […]
Happy Opening Day, Detroit! Today’s home opener marked the warmest Opening Day ever at Comerica Park (70 degrees Farenheit at game-time), and the warmest Tigers Opening Day in general since 1991. The Tigers lineup also warmed up following Wednesday’s 1-0 loss to the Diamondbacks, and new Tigers ace Framber Valdez came through with six shutout […]

After three pretty successful drafts, the Detroit Tigers enter the 2026 edition of the amateur draft picking way down the board for the second straight year. It’s too early to go crazy over their last three first round picks, but so far Bryce Rainer, Jordan Yost, and Michael Oliveto look like one heck of a […]
Toledo Mud Hens 17, Syracuse Mets 7 (box) The Mud Hens crushed the 46th ranked prospect in the game, right-hander Jonah Tong, with a furious barrage on Thursday that knocked Tong out of the game in the second inning. They poured it on against the Mets bullpen, taking a 2-1 lead in the series. Max […]
The Detroit Tigers open their 2026 home schedule on Friday afternoon against the St. Louis Cardinals after starting the season with just two wins in their first six games. That pair of victories came in the opening series against the San Diego Padres — the first two games of the campaign, to be exact — […]
On Thursday, the Pittsburgh Pirates announced they were calling up baseball’s consensus top prospect, shortstop and sometime center fielder, Konnor Griffin. The 19-year-old wasn’t promoted for Opening Day due to a combination of factors that had more to do with team control and leverage toward a contract, but his high strikeout rate in spring training […]
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 […]
