Game time change because of weather means I will be at work sadly and have to drive up north to Reed City and Big Rapids with reception spotty lol.

If I can’t get the lineups someone else may have to pop it in. Just copy and paste and slide it in underneath the Lineup spot. Hopefully I can do it before I head in.

Wasn’t that mostly the players and AJ took the heat for it ? I don’t remember. I hated baseball back then because the tigers sucked.

 

[biggunsbob]

That espn trade for Clase is just terrible.
McGonigle for Clase !

No f-ing way !

A. J. Hinch has a vast array of tools at his disposal! markdero7 dives in on the Tigers depth as they hold a 14-game lead in the AL Central.


Your voice has been heard! The two All-Star Ball Crew members headed to Atlanta next week are Frankie Boyd (Tigers) and Adam Crognale (Phillies)! #AllStarGame

The parallels to the 84 squad continue to grow.
Tommy Kahnle (9) and Will Vest (15) are the second pair of Tigers teammates in franchise history to each record 9+ saves before the All-Star Break. The other duo: Willie Hernández (16) and Aurelio Lopez (9) in 1984.

The Tigers have now won 21 of 30 series (and tied another), their best start thru 30 series in club history.

Updated Fangraphs playoffs odds: On August 11, 2024 the Tigers had a 0.2% chance of making the postseason. On July 9, 2025 the Tigers have flipped the percentage entirely and are currently at 99.8%

Detroit Tigers 2025 MLB Draft Preview: Pitchers - Tigers Minor League Report

Detroit Tigers 2025 MLB Draft Preview continues as we look at the pitchers who could fit in the organizational philosophy.

Detroit Tigers 2025 MLB Draft Preview: Pitchers.
TMLR

Best winning percentages in minor-league baseball (full-season leagues):
Greensboro- .691
West Michigan - .679
Binghamton - .675
Brooklyn - .659
San Jose - .659
Erie - .646
Chattanooga - .646
Lakeland - .641
Las Vegas - .636
Oklahoma City - .625

Pitching plan for final series before the ASB against the M's:
Friday, 7:10 p.m.LHP Tarik Skubal (10-2, 2.02)
Saturday, 1:10 p.m.RHP Casey Mize (9-2, 2.63)
Sunday, 1:40 p.m.RHP Jack Flaherty (5-9, 4.70)
Notable that Skubal is jumping ahead of Mize. That will give him an extra day of rest. ahead of the All-Star Game.

Colt Keith has been one of the AL's best hitters since the start of June, ranking 5th with a .322 batting average and T-8th with a .944 OPS (among hitters with 100 PA).

Colt Keith has been one of the hottest hitters over the last 2 months.

Zach McKinstry got screwed. Junior Caminero is a first-time All-Star. He replaces Alex Bregman on the AL's active roster.

The extraordinary mystery of the Tigers' Tarik Skubal

"I wasn't good until I was 26," the All-Star pitcher says. How he rose from Little League lore to Cy Young.

McKinstry added to all star game. I honestly feel bad for Tork. He deserves it more than all the Tigers not named Riley Greene or Tarik Skubal

 

[gotime909]

2 bad plays by McKinstry at short already tonight.

 

[gotime909]

Great play by Torres to stay with that ball

 

[gotime909]

Great double play by tork

 

[gotime909]

Vierling and Meadows cant be in the lineup together

 

[gotime909]

Took a 3-2 lead and Reece is trying to give it right back. He's just not too sharp tonight. Falling behind alot

 

[gotime909]

Another big double play! Gets Reece out of a jam and hes through 5. Hopefully the bullpen shows up again.

 

[nydo77]

2 bad plays by McKinstry at short already tonight.

And one really good one afterward.
