The Tigers haven't won 2 games in a row since June 4. Yikes.

They went into the season knowing they were going to be sellers. It's a long road back to mediocrity.

That was a great play by O Hoppe, followed by an inside the park HR by malloy.

Judge, Soto, and Stanton have 69 HRs this season. The Tigers have 74. If those guys all didn't spend some time on the IL, they would be ahead of the Tigers.

I remember hearing he had an average fastball but he relied on secondary pitches to get outs. That is a risky combination for #1 overall. Just because people who don't work for mlb teams think someone is the best, doesn't mean anything. Maybe I am being cynical but I can just see the brain trust looking at a draft website and making their selections based on that...kind of Millenesque.

By Tiger scouts?

This is a bad pitching match up for the Tigers but it's not like the Angela have an amazing offense.

Mize and Torkelson were stat accumulators in college, but probably don't have an above average mlb skill set. It doesn't matter how awesome Mize's stats were in college, but he had a 93 mlh fastball coming out with no swing and miss pitch. No way was that going to dominate mlb hitters.

They brought him to the majors way too soon. He played one season in the minors and 40 games at AAA, where he hit .238. The organization didn't do him any favors.

Plus they seem like they care that there are fans there. MLB has a certain arrogance when it comes to fans, like we are lucky they exist and should thank them for allowing us to spend $100+ to watch a terrible product. But yea, the team sucks but now you watch them suck from upgraded seats. Minor league games have all sorts of give aways, stuff between innings, etc Just a lot better experience.

His career BA in the minors is .259, he was never that impressive of a hitter past A ball.

Hinch is so superior to any other manager that he is already initiating strategies for 2026. I will bet anyone that he could destroy any competition in Old Maid or Candy Land; he could probably be world champ at either of those. He's just that good at everything.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, your Detroit Tigers.

I haven't checked the stats, but it seems the bullpen has been awful lately.

I wonder what the blowback would be if a player didn't do the pizza crap after a home run?

I'm surprised they haven't replaced the tiger with the little Caesar guy as their logo.

Ilitch probably forces them to do it as a free advertisement for his crappy pizza.

I think McKinstry is fine as the last guy on the roster because he can play most positions, but Hinch seems to have a bromance with him.

Good to see McKinstry back in the lineup.

He was a good announcer but he has always been a grade A douchebag and his true colors were coming through.

Derek Hill went deep today.

I see your point on position, but once you get past a Paul Skenes or Bryce Harper, there isn't a whole lot of separation between the other players. It seems like a lot depends on the organization's ability to develop a player. How many great players have the Tigers developed in the last 20 years so? Skubal? Greene? Even a guy like Castellanos didn't blossom until he left Detroit. And there was no way they could mess up a generational talent like Verlander. And the Tigers got lucky to get him at #2 only because the Padres were an even worse run organization than the Tigers. So I guess most of those guys have similar tools, it's just dependent on where they end up in some cases.

I don't think draft position in baseball is quite as important as in the other sports.

The Tigers offense really silenced their critics tonight. Well done.

Yay
