Options for the Tigers to replace Jahmai Jones

Well, we had some good times in 2025. Lefty masher Jahmai Jones seized that role from Andy Ibáñez, hero of the 2024 AL Wild Card series win over the Houston Astros, last year and he ran with it. This year it just isn’t happening, and while it’s easy to give up on a bench bat […]

Kevin McGonigle walks off the Mariners

After a tense afternoon that saw the Tigers forced to come back repeatedly to keep pace with the Mariners, they reached the ninth inning still down a run. The Mariners ran themselves into a pair of dumb outs on the bases with Will Vest on the mound, and that set the stage. The back of […]

Tarik Skubal’s rehab in West Michigan went perfectly

There was a Tarik Skubal party in Comstock Park on Sunday. The Detroit Tigers’ ace took the mound for a rehab outing against the Dayton Dragons, the Cincinnati Reds’ High-A affiliate. Huge crowds turned out on a beautiful, sunny day, and Skubal did not disappoint. He appeared fully on track to rejoin the Tigers’ rotation […]

Mariners pitching smothers Tigers bats to even the series

Bryce Miller one-hit the Tigers over six innings of work, while Keider Montero had a bit of a rough day on the mound. The Tigers’ bats were quiet all afternoon, failing to take advantage of good work from their bullpen, as the Mariners evened the series at a game apiece with a 4-0 victory on […]

Whitecaps walk off Dayton, Callahan and Peck homer for Erie

Toledo Mud Hens 8, Iowa Cubs 4 (box) The Hens bullpen had a good night as the lineup build a nice lead, and the pen shut the Cubs down for much of the game. On another rainy day in the region, a planned doubleheader was switched to a single game, with the doubleheader to make […]

Framber Valdez’s confusing lack of ground balls

Like so much of the Detroit Tigers’ 2026 season, Framber Valdez hasn’t exactly worked out as planned. Signed to a backloaded 3 year, $115M deal with an opt out after 2027, Valdez was supposed to stabilize a rotation that had Reese Olson injured and Jack Flaherty a total wildcard coming into the season. More importantly, […]

Tigers sweep with a dazzling Melton start and another Dingler homer

The Tigers did the seemingly impossible on Wednesday afternoon as they wrapped up their series against the American League’s top team with a sweep, winning 7-2. I’d be very curious to know if someone in the Tigers’ front office has promised their firstborn child to an Etsy witch, or something, because I don’t know who […]

Detroit Tigers go for sweep against Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday

Don’t look now, but the Detroit Tigers are undefeated in June after their 8-0 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field on Tuesday night. Sure, the month is only two days old, but the Motor City Kitties have already scored as many runs (18) over the past pair of games as they did […]

Mud Hens crush Cubs as Justin Verlander rehabs

Toledo Mud Hens 16, Iowa Cubs 1 (box) With Justin Verlander on the mound, the Mud Hens’ offense honored their famous temp by absolutely mauling Cubs’ pitching on Tuesday. Verlander, sidelined after one start this spring with a hip issue, looked pretty good. He had no trouble at all with the Cubs, scattering three singles […]

Tigers swinging hot bats in shutout win over Rays

The Tigers are on a roll with a 8-0 victory over the Rays on Tuesday night. It’s unclear what has gotten into the Tigers, but I’m not mad at it, and I don’t think any of their fans are either. While the Tigers did cut it very close in Monday night’s game against the Rays, […]

Tigers try to make it two in a row against Rays on Tuesday

The Detroit Tigers opened up June with a white-knuckle 10-9 win over the Tampa Bay Rays in St. Petersburg, as one of the worst teams in the majors took down the top squad in the American League. AJ Hinch’s squad went wire-to-wire in the victory, but the team nearly collapsed in characteristic fashion in the […]
