Coming off the worst start of his career, Garrett Crochet surrendered five runs over five innings on Sunday. Is it time to worry? Yes, but also no. Crochet got off to a rocky start. After two quick outs, he gave up back to back doubles to open the scoring. I was driving during the top […]
The third game of a wrap-around four-game series had a start time that was pushed back by three hours to accommodate some inclement weather moving through Boston. After the rains came and (occasionally) went, the Tigers won the game 6-2 while dodging raindrops, especially late in the game. Framber Valdez made his fifth start for […]
After getting absolutely annihilated in his previous start on Monday in Minnesota to the tune of 11 runs in just 1.2 innings, Garrett Crochet is set to retake the mound today and convince us all that everything will be fine as far as he and his health are concerned. Unfortunately, he won’t just be battling […]

The Detroit Tigers evened up their four-game series against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on Saturday with a 4-1 win behind an ace performance by Tarik Skubal and his 10 strikeouts. The victory brought AJ Hinch’s squad back above the .500 mark and within a half game of the American Central Division lead, […]
One of the unfortunate side effects that we experience in this current era of prestige TV is that it’s all too easy to forget about a great show after it ends. I’m not talking about the Mad Men and Sopranos types of prestige TV shows, the ones that stick around long enough that they firmly […]
After a frustrating 1-0 extra innings loss in game one of this series, the Detroit Tigers sent their ace to the mound looking to even things up. Tarik Skubal was very good, the Tigers beat up on Brayan Bello to build an early lead despite squandering some chances, and the bullpen was nails. It was […]

The Detroit Tigers saw their six-game winning streak snapped on Friday night by the Boston Red Sox, 1-0, in a genuine pitcher’s duel that required an extra inning to determine the winner. Casey Mize looked great for the Motor City Kitties, but the offense could not break through against Ranger Suarez and Aroldis Chapman. The […]
Missouri baseball dropped the series opener of its weekend three-game series against No. 14-ranked Oklahoma on Friday evening. Despite the multitude of homers, including a pair from first basemen Jase Woita and one from Blaize Ward, strong fourth and seventh inning offensive splurges from the Sooners drove them to a 9-6 winner over the Tigers […]
It took some unexpected heroics from Ryan McMahon, but the Yankees picked up a much-needed victory in their series opener against the Royals. Having just played a very frustrating series against the Angels, the last thing they needed was a dumb loss to open the set against Kansas City. While the Yankees wouldn’t lose any […]
This is the sixth walk-off in the Fenway Greens in their season+ lifetime and that’s kind of absurd. They must be made of magic. Did the offense look absolutely inept against Casey Mize? Yeah, Mize mowed this lineup down for seven innings. Thankfully, Ranger Suárez was on par if not better, creating one of the […]
After a spotless homestand, the Tigers hit the road and headed to Boston for a four-game wrap-around series against the Red Sox. Sadly, Detroit’s winning streak would end with the opening game of said series, after falling to Boston 1-0 in 10 innings. Making his fourth start of the season for the Tigers was Casey […]

After a disappointing .500 road trip, the Red Sox head home to host two tough opponents: the Detroit Tigers and the New York Yankees. First up are the Tigers. In their favor, the AL East is still close. Boston trails the Tampa Bay Rays by just 4.0 games. They are just 2.5 games out of […]
The San Diego Padres erased the memories of the season-opening homestand where they got off to a 2-4 start against the Detroit Tigers and the San Francisco Giants with a perfect second homestand that saw them get back-to-back sweeps of the Colorado Rockies and the Seattle Mariners. The Padres have won games throughout the season […]
Good news: Red Sox fans get to watch the two best starting pitchers in the American League this weekend when the Detroit Tigers come to town. Bad news: The pitchers miss each other by one game and Boston must find a way to beat the two-time defending Cy Young Award winner. Garrett Crochet and Tarik […]
The Kansas City Royals are 7-12 and just lost a heartbreaker to the Detroit Tigers on Thursday afternoon. Despite that, I imagine that there were still plenty of smiles at 1 Royal Way yesterday after the KCMO City Council passed a stadium financing ordinance that could provide up to $600 million for the construction of […]
Happy Friday, everyone. This is a big weekend on the diamonds, as the baseball team heads to Austin for three games against 2nd-ranked Texas, while softball hosts SEC doormat Kentucky. Both will be looking to bounce back, baseball from last weekend’s sweep at the hands of Arkansas, and softball from an inexplicable mid-week loss to […]
The Detroit Tigers are on a roll after a perfect 6-0 homestand that erased a five-game losing streak and put them over the .500 mark for the first time since late March. Next up on the agenda are the Boston Red Sox, who will host the Motor City Kitties for a four-game series at Fenway […]
In a game marred by delays, it looked like the Royals would take the series finale against the Tigers to avoid the sweep, and this after trailing by five runs midway through the game. Unfortunately, the top of Detroit’s lineup had other plans. The game started after an hour-plus rain delay. Detroit struck first in […]
After a rain delay at Comerica Park, the Tigers were looking to wrap up their hopeful sweep of the Royals before heading to Boston for the weekend to take on the Red Sox. Hoping to get them there was Keider Montero on the mound, up against Kris Bubic for the Royals. Montero has had a […]

The Royals will look to avoid a sweep and try to get the offense going. They’ve score more than two runs in a game just once in their last eight contests. Kris Bubic goes for the Royals, after seven shutout innings and a career-high 11 strikeouts his last time out. He’ll have to pitch around […]
