Latest news and updates about the Tigers
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 […]

Juan Soto is back in the New York Mets lineup for Thursday’s game against the Tigers after exiting Wednesday night’s game with a foot injury. Soto fouled a pitch off his foot in the third inning of a 3-2 win in extra innings for the Mets. He finished the at-bat despite being in obvious pain, […]

Meet the Mets After making a defensive miscue that led to two Detroit runs, Carson Benge delivered the walk-off hit in the tenth to seal the win and a series victory against the Tigers. The team now looks for a series sweep with Nolan McLean on the mound this afternoon. Choose your recap: Amazin’ Avenue, […]
The Detroit Tigers let one get away on Wednesday after the offense once again struggled to get things going, spoiling a strong performance by the pitching staff. Alas, two runs were not going to get the job done that night, as the New York Mets used a seventh-inning run to tie the game and ultimately […]
Following his team’s win over the Tigers last night, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said that x-rays on Juan Soto’s foot were negative. Soto is considered day-to-day, which is a relief after he was unable to finish the game last night despite serving as the Mets’ designated hitter. Having spent time on the injured list with […]
Carson Benge began tonight’s game with a mistake that cost the Mets two runs, but he ended it with the game-winning hit in the tenth, as the Mets walked off the Tigers 3-2 in extra innings in a game that was full of oddities, but provided a glimpse into what the future may hold in […]
