Tigers Tame Twins 6-1.

Tigers 6 Twins 1 W-Mize (1-0) L-Varland (0-4)

The Minnesota Twins picked up a win to end a five-game losing streak yesterday. That momentum didn't continue until today as the Tigers were ready from the start. Riley Greene and Mark Canha led-off the first with walks and Kerry Carpenter singled home a run. Later in the inning, Buddy Kennedy hit a sac fly to center to double the Tigers lead before the Twins grabbed a bat. The Tigers got back to work in the third as Spencer Torkelson led-off with a single to left. With two outs, Buddy Kennedy smacked a Louie Varland cutter out to left for a two-run homer. This put Detroit up by four after three innings of play. Meanwhile, Casey Mize shut down the Twins through six shutout innings. The Tigers would add on in the seventh when Riley Greene singled and Spencer Torkelson doubled him home. The Tigers had a five-run lead and Tyler Holton retired all six men he faced. The Tigers had one more rally left in them in the ninth as Riley Greene drew a walk and Mark Canha doubled. Spencer Torkelson hit a sacrifice fly to right and the Tigers lead grew to six. The Twins made a little noise in the bottom of the ninth. Austin Martin crushed an Alex Faedo fastball out to left for a solo homer. Willi Castro doubled and Carlos Santana walked. Alex Faedo settled down and retired the next three men as the Tigers picked up the series win today.

-Final Thoughts- Louie Varland struggled from the start. He didn't have his command and it showed. He went 2 2/3 innings and gave up four runs on three hits with four walks and two strikeouts. Cole Sands retired four men with two strikeouts, Matt Bowman fanned two in a two perfect innings, and Jay Jackson allowed a run over two frames. Caleb Thielbar gave up a run in the ninth. The Twins scattered seven hits today and went 0-for-6 with men in scoring position. They left nine men on base. The homestand will continue against the horrible White Sox. Jonathan Cannon will face Chris Paddack in Game 1 tomorrow night.

Tras la última temporada del “Señor Miggy”, una nueva era comenzó en el equipo bengalí. Cabrera dejó en Detroit una huella imborrable. Era el epicentro de los Tigres de Detroit. Harold Capote Fernández Durante todo su recorrido en el beisbol profesional, Miguel Cabrera siempre se caracterizó por dejar una huella distintiva, diferente a sus altas cualidades con las que dejó grandes números en cada circuito donde jugó; nos referimos a esa capacidad de liderazgo acompañado por un carácter jocoso que ayudó mucho en la buena química de cada grupo con el que trabajó. Ahora, tras su retiro el año pasado, a partir de la temporada 2024 en Tigres de Detroit comenzó una nueva era, misma en la que el locker del “Señor Miggy” ya está ausente en los campos de entrenamiento. Diferentes peloteros jóvenes de los bengalíes se expresaron por la ausencia del maracayero; la mayoría de ellos desde ya extrañan la presencia del Tigre Mayor, entre otras cosas también porque en los años recientes el equipo se construyó con él como epicentro, donde entre otros orbitaron Spencer Torkelson, Kerry Carpenter y Riley Greene; estos tres pasaron sus 2 primeras temporadas en Grandes Ligas en el fondo de la persecución de “Cabrerita” por los 500 jonrones, 3.000 hits y un cómodo lugar en las tablas de líderes ofensivos entre los mejores bateadores de todos los tiempos. Con José Miguel retirado, ahora es el equipo de los chicos. Ellos creen que están listos para liderarlo. "Es Miguel Cabrera, posiblemente uno de los mejores bateadores de todos los tiempos. No sé si se puede reemplazar a un tipo como él", dijo Tarik Skubal, quien podría encabezar la rotación de Detroit con la partida de Eduardo Rodríguez. "Pero me gusta la cultura que tenemos. Me gustan los muchachos que regresan. Me encantó nuestro equipo el año pasado; pensé que era muy divertido. Y todos estamos remando en la misma dirección, que es lo que quieres. Me emociona volver con estos chicos”, recalcó. En esa cultura también fue construida por el venezolano, quien imprimió su amor por el beisbol, la apología al trabajo y al deseo de competir para ganar. Skubal, Casey Mize, Matt Manning, Alex Faedo, Joey Wentz y Jake Rogers ascendieron juntos a través del sistema de granjas de los Tigres. Torkelson, Greene y Carpenter llegaron en 2022. De una u otra manera, Cabrera influyó en ellos. "Tenemos un gran grupo", dijo Greene. "Miggy se ha ido, lo que es una pena porque era una gran parte del equipo. Pero seguimos teniendo prácticamente el mismo grupo. Siento que nuestra química de equipo realmente dio un salto la temporada pasada, y sólo va a mejorar y mejorar”, estimó. "La química de equipo es difícil de encontrar, y una vez que la tienes, quieres seguir construyendo sobre ella. Creo que muchos equipos ganadores tienen esa química de equipo, y nosotros la tenemos", añadió. “Miggy” del mismo modo marcó la pauta de divertirse y reiterando la actitud competir sin descanso, a menudo predicando con el ejemplo, algo que Torkelson quiere transmitir: "Creo que nos comportamos de la misma manera que el año pasado: ir al patio todos los días, mejorar, confiar en tu proceso y predicar con el ejemplo, no ser un tipo ruidoso", dijo. "Vamos a venir, vamos a trabajar, vamos a mejorar y vamos a ganar. Ésa va a ser la identidad de este equipo". Dicho esto, él está deseando ver a Cabrera en su nuevo papel como asistente especial de los Tigres. Se espera que haga una visita en algún momento de esta primavera. "Definitivamente lo estoy extrañando. Pero definitivamente va a hacer una aparición o 10 durante la primavera".

Tigers Claim Tyler Holton, Put Casey Mize On 60-Day IL

The Tigers announced Friday that they’ve claimed lefty Tyler Holton off waivers from the Diamondbacks, who’d designated him for assignment earlier in the week. In order to open a spot on the 40-man roster, Detroit transferred right-hander Casey Mize to the 60-day injured list. Mize underwent Tommy John surgery and back surgery last year and wasn’t expected to be ready within the season’s first…

Tigers Pitching

The Motor City Kitties are still steeped in the middle of a total rebuild and their play this year reflects that, as they sit in last place in the AL Central with a 19-31 record. They have been better of late, though (10-7 since a 9-24 start), and more importantly, their rotation has been a verifiable success story: their starting pitchers have combined for a 3.94 ERA this season, good for 5th in the American League and ranking ahead of contenders like Boston and Oakland. A mix of improving veterans (Spencer Turnbull, Matthew Boyd), graduating prospects (Casey Mize), and “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” signings (Jose Ureña) have come together nicely to give the Tigers reliable quality innings (and, potentially, some ammunition for the trade deadline as they attempt to continue building up their farm system):

24 year-old RHP Casey Mize faces the unenviable task of going toe-to-toe with Gerrit Cole in the opening game as the Yankees will get their first look at the Tigers’ 2018 #1 overall pick. Mize has long been considered a very polished prospect with a diverse repertoire. As expected, he cruised through the minor leagues and made his Tigers debut last year. He struggled through seven major league starts in 2020 (6.99 ERA) and got off to another slow start this year (5.06 ERA in April), but has seemingly started to put it together in May (1.73 ERA), including a 6 IP, 3 H, 1 ER performance against a tough Red Sox lineup in Fenway on May 5.

Mize’s fastball hovers around 94-95 mph with middling spin; he plays it off a sinker and split-finger to get ahead in counts, and then throws a slider and curveball to try to put batters away. None of his pitches are particularly dominant, and thus he has not struck out a whole lot of guys; his path to success lies in his unpredictability and variety. He mixes in all of his pitches in all kinds of spots and counts to both lefties and righties, and picks up a lot of weak contact in the process:

Mize has walked more guys than one would expect of someone of his archetype, but that could be attributed to him recently reaching the majors and still figuring things out; he has always been known for having very good command and I expect him to rectify the walk issues moving forward. Nevertheless, the Yankees can and should attempt to drive up the pitch count and get free passes off him, because barreling up his pitches may prove difficult for the lineup they’re trotting out there (right-handed batters have posted a .199/.286/.321 line off Mize in his short time in the majors).

Spencer “Yes, Even I’m Throwing No-Hitters These Days” Turnbull will start the middle game of the series, and is having a very good season as he continues to grow as a pitcher with each passing year. Like Mize (and the rest of the Tigers pitching staff which ranks 14th in the AL in strikeouts), he hasn’t been racking up whiffs, but he’s been doing an awful lot of good stuff otherwise:

Turnbull was another polished, well-regarded prospect (2nd round pick in 2014) who was never expected to become a top-of-the-rotation ace due to his lack of strikeout stuff, but has nevertheless developed into a great piece for the Tigers because he locates his fastball really well, has good spin on his pitches, and rarely walks guys or gives up homers. He had already been discussed as a potential trade centerpiece as early as last season, and his strong performance in 2021 – especially after the no-hitter – has only intensified the rumors. He turns 29 in September so he’s not a young up-and-comer perfectly aligned with the Tigers’ rebuild timeline, but Detroit does still have him under team control through 2025, so it would presumably take a blow-you-away kind of package to pry him away from them at this point.

Tigers Lineup

While the pitching has looked promising, Tiger hitters have shown few signs of life this year:

The Yankees got a taste of the Tigers’ attempt at an offense last month, and the result was four Detroit runs in three games. Things haven’t been much better for them since; they remain a mishmash of AAAA guys and scrap-heap veteran signings (Ramos, Schoop) that have not shown much of anything, and the Yankees should consider themselves lucky to have run into them while in the middle of a rash of injuries.

While they have some exciting high draft picks like Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene percolating in the minors, there’s not much to get excited about at the major league level. Jeimer Candelario has been one of their few decent hitters, but he’s Andujar-esque at third base. Lovable Rule 5 draft pick Akil Baddoo has cooled off significantly after a thunderous start, but he has at least managed to stay afloat by drawing a lot of walks. Robbie Grossman also draws a lot of walks and has probably been their best all-around position player, and really one of their only real movable pieces at the deadline on the position player side.

JaCoby Jones has drawn interest from the Yankees due to their hole in CF. Sadly he has been futile at the plate this year:

He did slash .268/.333/.515 last year in a 30-game sample, in case you want to convince yourself that he could be primed for some kind of a change-of-scenery surprise bounceback. Detroit is not going to ask for much in return, so if the Yankees are in desperate need of a warm body to play center field, he’s a trade option.

Yankees focus on: Lucas Luetge

Luetge first made the majors with Seattle in 2012 and pitched for the Mariners for a few years as your run-of-the-mill lefty specialist, and not a particularly great one at that. He left them after the 2015 season and bounced around from organization to organization the next few years as a minor league depth piece, not once getting the call back up to the Show.

Now well into his thirties with a fastball that rarely reaches 90 and facing the reality of the newly-added three-batter minimum rule that largely made his archetype obsolete, it seemed like Luetge was not long for professional baseball. Instead he got a non-roster invite from the Yankees, pitched extremely well in spring training, made the major league roster, and is now doing this:

Not much was expected of him going into the season, but Luetge has posted a 2.66 ERA and 1.014 WHIP with a 24-to-3 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 23.2 IP. What’s more: after getting (predictably) crushed by them his whole career, Luetge has suddenly become really good at getting righties out! Right-handed batters are slashing just .211/.250/.316 against him in 60 PAs this year. How is it possible?

Basically he has been attacking them with his cutter, which is a pitch he only started to learn and throw in 2019. He has been working on it and building it up in the middle of his minor league forays the past few years, and it seems to have finally paid off this year. It is now by far his most-thrown pitch with roughly 64% usage, and he has located it really well and thrown it for strikes. It has paired brilliantly with his diving curveball, which has been close to unhittable so far this year as a put-away pitch.

It’s too early to tell if this is just small sample size noise or a legitimate career renaissance, but Luetge has rewarded the Yankees’ faith in him with some really solid innings in relief and has been one of their more inspirational stories in a bullpen that has a few of them. He managed to reinvent himself to save his career and the Yankees are reaping the rewards right now.
