MLB Wild Card Round day 2: Open Thread
Postseason baseball is back, and unfortunately the Detroit Tigers aren’t part of it. For some, that really kills the interest level, and I get it. On the other hand, sports are amplified by the bright lights of the playoffs and World Series, and there is little better than postseason baseball in my opinion. So, pick […]

Scott Harris and AJ Hinch’s press conference says they’re staying the course
End of season press conferences are by definition lacking in substance. Nothing Scott Harris or AJ Hinch was going to say would change anything for the 2026 season now past, and they aren’t going to address the impending offseason with any specifics. Questions about extensions for Riley Greene and Max Clark were rebuffed, as it’s […]
Highlights from Justin Verlander’s retirement weekend
It was an emotional weekend to be a Tigers fan. First, the team ended their season in September instead of making a repeat trip to the postseason, which was certainly a bummer after the year got off to a strong start. But 2026 was not meant to be the Year of the Tiger. This weekend […]

All things come to an end, and on Saturday we witnessed a really poignant ending to the career of one of the greatest pitchers and greatest Detroit Tigers of all time.

The Detroit Tigers opened up the final series of the 2026 campaign with an 8-7 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night at Comerica Park.

On Tuesday, the Detroit Tigers announced that starting catcher Dillon Dingler was the recipient of the team’s 2026 Heart and Hustle award. There couldn’t be a more deserving candidate.

How do you feel about the ABS system after season one?
Entering the 2026 season, the introduction of the automated balls and strikes challenge system was a major topic.
