Setting Up Detroit Tigers Pitching for Postseason Success

By

Closer Jose Valverde and starter Justin Verlander obviously anchor the pitching staff in Detroit. The former has forty save opportunities in the same amount of chances. The latter has garnered his twenty-first victory already with almost a month left. Valverde’s numbers are a little misleading because his whip is near one and a third. This would usually dictate a few blown … [Read more...] about Setting Up Detroit Tigers Pitching for Postseason Success

Detroit Tigers are on a Roll; Taking Command of AL Central

By

With the recent incident in Indiana prior to a scheduled Sugarland concert and the Iowa Straw Poll results, news on the Detroit Tigers (or even the AL Central) is not of the utmost importance. With that said, their recent record and level of play have been impressive and cause for excitement from their fan base. Behind the thirty-five saves of Jose Valverde, the squad has … [Read more...] about Detroit Tigers are on a Roll; Taking Command of AL Central

Detroit Tigers: An Uninspired Group

By

The Detroit Tigers are currently one and a half games up in the American League Central. They have, however, only won fifty six of one hundred and seven games this season. This proves that they have been the cream of the crap, instead of the cream of the crop. As I have predicted numerous times, the Cleveland Indians are faltering due to their lack of depth. The addition of … [Read more...] about Detroit Tigers: An Uninspired Group

The trade deadline is Sunday, and a certain third baseman might be … [Read more...] about The Chicago Cubs are NOT GOOD at baseball

Detroit Tigers Reach the Top of the American League Central

By

The Detroit Tigers are a game behind the Cleveland Indians in the loss column, but tied for the AL Central lead. The momentum for the Tigers has been phenomenal lately. The Tigers and the Indians are the only two teams in the division that have won over half their games, but the Minnesota Twins and the Chicago White Sox are also approaching their potential lately. The Kansas … [Read more...] about Detroit Tigers Reach the Top of the American League Central

Detroit Tigers Schedule Becomes More Favorable

By

The Detroit Tigers start to the season has been very average. The Cleveland Indians and Kansas City Royals have been the toast of the division, but that is obviously nothing more than fool’s gold. The former would also lead the East and the West in the American League. Tell me that is going to last! The best case scenario is that the success of the Royals and Indians … [Read more...] about Detroit Tigers Schedule Becomes More Favorable

Assessing the Detroit Tigers Performance out of the Gate

By

Much like the Minnesota Twins, the Detroit Tigers are not where they expected to be a little over one week into regular season play. They had the spotlight on them opening day against the Yankees-only to struggle. Whether it's April or not, it is totally unacceptable for this team to lose back to back series against the likes of the Baltimore Orioles and the Kansas City … [Read more...] about Assessing the Detroit Tigers Performance out of the Gate
