Wow. Absolutely amazing. When Jim Leyland told his starters that the team needed them to last deeper into games Justin Verlander took that to heart. Tonight he tossed a no-hitter against the Milwaukee Brewers dominating the hitters racking up a total of 12 K’s.

Prior to the season Will Carroll releases Positional Health Reports detailing the risk of injury to each starting player for each team. With the Tigers injuries continuing to rack up I thought it’d be interesting to take a look back at the report as it pertains to Detroit. Will is quick to point out what […]
In the first step on his way back to the Major League team Kenny Rogers started for the Toledo Mudhens this evening. The Mudhens faced the Norfolk Tides and there is more detail in the boxscore and log at milb.com.

I noticed the folks at MLB Trade Rumors picked up on the Detroit Free Press speculations on the Tigers trade possibilities. They suggest Mike Maroth as a possible piece of the puzzle of any significant trade due to his upcoming free agency and general serviceability.
I wouldn’t like to see him leave this year though it […]
According to Jason Beck, the Tigers have released reliever Jose Mesa in a move that quite possibly will be the end to his career.

Tonight he made his fourth rehab start with the ‘Hens facing the Buffalo Bisons pitching 2 innings allowing only a single hit and striking out two.
Colon […]
When you score 11 runs you are supposed to win the ball game. Tonight the Tigers did not win.
I would love to hate on Todd Jones after this his fourth blown save. He didn’t have his good stuff this eve; not even close. What is more worrisome is that it was obvious that he […]
