Ever since Brandon Inge broke his left to on May 29th due to a breaking ball from Casey Fossum he has been unstoppable. On May 29th Brandon was batting a .219/.314/.396 which, after sitting out six days due to the toe injury, has turned into .254/.350/.361.
That is a heck of a turnaround in such […]
As of earlier today the Tigers sit at 3rd overall in the Major League’s in team AVG (2nd in the American League) and 6th overall in OBP (4th in the American League) and first in runs scored. This is impressive from a team dominated by pitching and finishing 24th overall in MLB in OBP last […]
Many Tigers are starting to get noticed more nationally with the team leading the AL Central for another year and this time with some offense. Magglio Ordonez is making a run for MVP but a bit more quietly Polanco continues to be a key member in the 2-spot in the lineup.
Everyone in Detroit knows how […]

The walks probably give this one away, but the second line is that of Gary Sheffield. One other interesting stat is […]
After today’s win and with the Indians taking their second loss in a row Detroit is now leading the AL Central. Today the Tigers combined to hit .371 having 13 hits in 35 at-bats in an offensive performance that is becoming expected. This wasn’t the case to start the year and back in mid-April […]
With the day off I’ve taken the opportunity to play around with some of the cool stats that the folks at Baseball Reference have made available. Looking through the wins and losses so far this year it seems that the Tigers have either been jumping out to early leads or coming from behind and stealing […]
Last nights game featured a heroic performance by Jeremy Bonderman who allowed no runs after the home run from the very first batter. Jeremy went nine full innings giving up six hits and zero walks with two of those hits came from his nemesis at the plate Matt Stairs who’s total batting average against Jeremy […]
Finally the silence has been broken on what the Tigers plans were for the batting lineup. There has been quite a bit of chatter about Leyland batting Pudge first in the lineup often this Spring Training. This was followed earlier in the day from Danny Knobler but now Leyland has spoken.
Pudge will bat first against […]

Everyone has been watching Tiger pitching very closely this year after a powerful and, to most, surprising 2006 season. This has caused their offensive start this year to be overlooked a bit. The Tigers team stats might not look all too impressive in aggregate with .278/.347. When you weed out non-regulars or folks who won’t […]
