The Tigers have dealt Jason Grilli to the Colorado Rockies for Zach Simons. This frees a spot for the activation of Francisco Cruceta who will join the team tomorrow. I’m surprised on a number of levels. That the Tigers would part with a pitcher given the woes of the starting rotation. The starters aren’t going … Continue reading Jason Grilli traded!
I had to think about it, but I’ve decided I like winning 10-1 better than losing 8-4. Justin “Ricky” Verlander dominated KC without really being dominant. Pretty darn good. He didn’t seem too happy about being lifted from the game rather unnecessarily, or maybe he was just upset with Ezequiel Carrera’s nonchalance in allowing a runner … Continue reading Game 2014.154: Tigers at Royals
A few notes to get you through the off-day. Interesting Numbers: 1: number of errors thus far by the Tigers (Scherzer’s missed pickoff, which may have cost us a W) 1: number of hits by a right-handed hitter off of Anibal Sanchez this season. 5: number of saves by Jason Grilli this year. Here is … Continue reading DTW News and Notes 4-14-13
Detroit Tigers, 34-36, 3 1/2 games behind Cleveland. The last game had a little of everything–Pitcher Fielding Follies, Clownman antics in left, strange double-shifting–and a lot of nothing. Friday night the Tigers continued to help Pittsburgh gain ground in the NL Central, this time by losing to the Pirates 4-1. The Pirates tried to be … Continue reading Game 2012.71: Tigers at Pirates
Inge. Binge. Cringe. Player of the Game. Bane of stephen’s existence. And soon to be Mudhen. The demise of Brandon Inge is the hot talk of the town (and a sweltering town it is). Inge has played more games at Comerica than any Tiger; he has struck out more than any Tiger in history; he … Continue reading Game 2011.98: Tigers at Twins
The Tigers today announced the signing of southpaw Brad Thomas, and that they traded Clay Rapada to the the Texas Rangers for a player to be named later. Furthermore, they outrighted Zach Simons.
A look back at the year that was here at Detroit Tigers Weblog: January Debunking the theory that long grass helped Trammell’s defense Curtis Granderson stops by for an interview Talking Tigers prospects with Jonathan Mayo Nate Robertson gets 3 year deal Miguel Cabrera becomes very rich Jose Canseco is scum ball, Ordonez gets implicated … Continue reading Detroit Tigers Weblog 2008 Year in Review

BaseballAmerica.com: Prospects: Ask BA BA looks at the best lefty/righty combo's in the minors. Casey Crosby and Rick Porcello put the Tigers on the list at 10. FIP+: American League Central – Beyond the Box Score Six of the top seven Tigers in FIP+ were bullpen pitchers (and one was Jason Grilli). And the bullpen was … Continue reading links for 2008-10-29
PREGAME: Ooohhh, subplots abound. There’s that whole Jim Leyland quitting on the Rockies thing, but he’s already made his one statement about that. Plus there is that Jason Grilli commenting on team chemistry thing, and the fact that he pitches awful at Comerica Park. Of more concern though are the Tigers simultaneous marches to mediocrity … Continue reading Game 79: Rockies at Tigers
UPDATE: Leyland responded to the comments. Beck has the transcript and the audio is here. And it looks like Grilli has responded back. This really was a rant for the ages. Leyland’s gone off before, but it has been to players with only terse summaries for the press afterwards. This was out there for everybody … Continue reading Everything is broken…arrggghhh
The following was compiled by DTW reader and commenter Sam Hoff. He breaks down the season into 18 game innings and reports how the team does. The 2nd Inning is over. Each 18 games represent 1 inning of a baseball season. The Tigers record for the first 2 innings in 2008: Starters: Bullpen: W-L RS … Continue reading The Second Inning – 2008
