D-Train is a Wreck
Dontrelle Willis has failed to make a good first impressions this spring ending with an abysmal 8.64 ERA. His ERA isn’t the only stat that is wild for him this spring, he’s been completely unable to throw strikes. His OBP for opposing batters is .477, 2.40 WHIP (Walks Hits per Inning Pitched) [...]

Tiger lefty reliever Tim Byrdak had yet another rough outing in a string of rough outings this spring. With the Tiger bullpen posing the largest hole to the team for this season, Tim is certainly doing nothing to instill confidence, though he seems to still have Jim Leylands confidence.
Reading through the article from the [...]
I was very much a proponent of the Tigers bringing back Kenny Rogers for another season, while at the same time worried about depending on him filling a slot for the entire season. Not worried only about potential injuries but also control which seemed to be lacking in a number of starts last season. Since [...]
We’re 11 days away from Opening Day 2008 at Comerica Park and it is snowing like crazy outside. Quite a bit can change in 11 days but right now things are not looking good. According to the current 10-day forecast, March 30th is supposed to be filled with snow with a high of 45 and [...]
I had heard very little about Denny Bautista before the Tigers traded Jose Capellan to the Rockies for him. With the bullpen looking like the Tigers weakest link for the upcoming season, Bautista’s potential ability to fill some major holes for the team is being closely watched. So far he’s been given as many innings [...]
Went to my first game at Joker Marchant Stadium here in Lakeland Florida today. The stadium itself was quite an upgrade from Knology Park yesterday but with that improvement, there were some drawbacks. It is quite a bit harder to get close to the players than at other parks in the area, though significantly easier [...]
Below is a collection of my favorite pictures from yesterdays game. Check back tommorow as I will be putting up some pictures from todays match up with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
1. Knology Park in Dunedin, FL.
Spent the day in Dunedin, Fl at Knology Park to watch the matchup between the Tigers and Blue Jays. Was initially worried about some rain but it turned out to be a pretty nice day, enough so that I got a bit burnt. The wind was out in full force and was behind the batters [...]
While playing with my new camera, I took this video of Miguel Cabrera warming up before today’s game with the Blue Jays in Dunedin. It was pretty cool to see him out there in a Tiger uniform and took a little while to get use to seeing it. Was also nice to see he wasn’t [...]
I know I haven’t been good about updating as of late, but the season is around the corner so things will be picking up here at D-Town Baseball as well. Right now I am in Lakeland, Florida, on vacation, and ready to watch some Spring Training baseball.
My wife and I arrived today and didn’t get [...]
The Detroit Tigers are eying ticket sales today to see if they could possibly sell out home games before the season even starts. Dave Dombrowski warned us all in mid-January that tickets were going to be tough to come by:
“I would suggest to people that when our individual season tickets go on sale in March, [...]
