Tigers went through 9 years of “rebuilding” just for them to be a good baseball team for about 5 months.
Tigers record in Jack Flaherty's starts:
9-22 2025
2-8 2026
11-30 is really hard to do.
Tigers have lost 15 of 17
10.5 games out of 1st place
12 games under .500
And,With 110 games remaining, Detroit is hesitant to call up players from the minors (that could help?) because it might mean they’d have to say goodbye to Short, Perez or Jones.
It's going to be a long year.

The expectation is that Troy Melton will come off the 60-day IL this Sunday and start.
Alleged Lefty masher Jahmai Jones is now hitting .204 against lefties this year.
17 strikeouts in 49 AB’s.
The Tigers today placed RHP Burch Smith on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation. RHP Brenan Hanifee has been recalled from Triple-A Toledo.
Baseball 26 man rosters turn over 25% per year minimum that’s 6+ players at least two of them need to make an impact. In 4 years who has Scott Harris added besides Kevin McGonigle that’s impactful? Needed 8 guys, got 1.
Detroit Tigers’ OF Ben Malgeri in AAA Toledo so far in 2026:
42 GP 162 AB 11 2B 6 HR 23 RBI .290/.387/.494 (.881 OPS) Should the Tigers call him up to the majors?
Yes, for Jones.
The good news about the Tigers 2-14 funk, in which they're averaging about 2.2 runs scored per game, is that it's exposing Scott Harris as a complete fraud that rode the wave of an incomprehensible stretch run in 2024 and a hot start in 2025.

Colt Keith OPS now down to .653 Lower than both Victor Reyes and Harold Castro career OPS.
