Latest news and updates about the Tigers
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 […]
There’s always a worry that a team will come out flat the day after an emotional victory like last night’s come-from-behind win. That’s why it’s important to have a strong performance from your starting pitcher – particularly with this team’s bullpen – and Zac Gallen delivered exactly what the team needed. Unfortunately, he was lined […]
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 […]

Diamondbacks News Jose Fernandez Hits Go-Ahead Homer to Save Snakes in MLB DebutDiamondbacks prospect Jose Fernandez not only hit his first career home run in his major league debut on Tuesday, but he homered a second time to give Arizona the lead in the bottom of the eighth inning off Detroit Tigers closer Kenley Jansen.

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 […]
Don’t look now, but one month of the season is already in the books. Okay, not exactly, as, while March is now over, teams only ever play a handful of regular season games in the month. However, we are now fully into the swing of the 2026 season, with every team having a handful of […]
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 […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we are talking about Mizzou Diamond Sports! It was an exciting day for Mizzou diamond sports as the Tigers hosted Kansas in baseball, and played Missouri State in softball. While the softball team got it done, the baseball team fell in a back-and-forth affair. Abby Carr shined once against […]
Jose Fernandez. That is it. That’s the recap. Give the guy his flowers. From a pitching standpoint, Brandon Pfaadt had a very Brandon Pfaadt outing. He rolled through 5 innings, but was so bad in the 3rd the announcers on the broadcast thought he was tipping his pitches. Pfaadt was atleast able to give the […]
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 […]
RUSS CHANDLER STADIUM — A couple weeks after suffering a tough midweek loss at then #4 Auburn the #3 Georgia Tech Baseball Jackets dominated now #18 Auburn 13-3 behind home runs by Vahn Lackey, Carson Kerce, Ryan Zuckerman, and a mercy rule enforcing solo shot by Caleb Daniel. Tech converted nearly all of their runners […]

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 […]
Every Major League Baseball team begins Spring Training with one goal in mind: to win a World Series title. The San Diego Padres are chasing the same goal, as their desire to win has never wavered. Disappointing opening series does not define season The opening series loss to the Detroit Tigers was disappointing and felt […]
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 […]
Through four games of the 2026 season, the San Diego Padres have managed a grand total of nine runs scored, while allowing 16 runs to the Detroit Tigers and the San Francisco Giants. The Padres dropped the series opener to the Giants at Petco Park on Monday 3-2, but the score makes the game appear […]
Record: 1-3. Pace: 40-122. Change on 2025: -1. If there was ever the need for a palette cleanser, after the disappointing sweep in Los Angeles, it was in tonight’s home opener at Chase. Early on, the D-backs delivered in no uncertain fashion. The offense matched the entire run production of the opening series in the […]
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 […]
