PREGAME Mike Maroth takes the mound for Detroit as the Tigers try and complete their 7th sweep of the season. The Royals send out Denny Bautista, who has been decent since returning from the disabled list.

At this point I don’t think I’m catching up on the Twins series recap – not because they lost, but because it just isn’t relevant anymore. I will use tonights rainout to get caught up on other items though, first and foremost is the current series wrap. So the Tigers came into Baltimore facing a … Continue reading Series Wrap: Tigers at Orioles
PREGAME: The Twins come to town and have been struggling. Nate Robertson will be taking on Brad Radke. Radke is sporting an uncharacteristic 7.50 ERA.

Carlos Guillen, Pudge Rodriguez, Magglio … Continue reading Game 23: Twins at Tigers

Well, no team ever really has too much pitching, but right now it looks like the Tigers have enough talent to build decent rotations in both Detroit and Toledo. There are still 4 legitimate candidates for the 5th starter spot, and none of them are making the decision easy on Jim Leyland. Justin Verlander, Joel … Continue reading Tigers have too much pitching
Ten homers were hit in a 14-10 slugfest that saw the Detroit Tigers beat the Indians. Me thinks that the wind may have been a factor.
