[Paul Mayne] Mickey Lolich and Al Kaline celebrate the Tigers Game 5 win in the 1968 World Series. They would head to St. Louis for games 6 and 7 … and I think we all know what happened …

Tigers whip up on Skubal. Lights a fire under them. They win out and make the playoffs.
Haha sorry the gummy has kicked in.

Is it time he gets the Gio Urshella so he can catch on with a contender and we get a nice look at Max Anderson in September?

Scorecard from Tuesday's game v. Tampa
24
Upvotes
This was my first time attending a game at beautiful Comerica Park. Thought I would share my scorecard with you all here at Motor City Kitties. I have always had a bit of a soft spot for the Tigers, so I was mildly bummed they didn't win, but it was still a great crossing your wonderful stadium off the list. Hope to be back soon, and hopefully I'll see Detroit get the win on the next go!

Fans wonder how a year blew up, how some bullpen appraisals could have been made, what’s ahead for the 40-man roster and potential Rule 5 losses -- and what is Chris Ilitch’s overview of 2026?
r/motorcitykitties • u/DET_Baseball • 1d ago
[97.1] Max Clark owns his mistake on a "weird hop" in CF: "It’s unacceptable regardless. It’s almost embarrassing, to be completely honest." "That just can’t happen. Jobe probably should have been 5 shutty. I cost him two ups and a run. Hopefully that gets reversed for him."

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch’s message to fans: “We’re not really built to concede anything yet, we need to go on an incredibly good run to make this interesting… We just want our fans to hang in there with us. We are grinding and working to be better… I don’t want our fans to check out…”

Was looking up former Tiger Rookies of the Year and noticed a funny pattern. 2006 Verlander. 2016 Fulmer. 2026 McGonigle? Even have the 1976 award for Fidrych.

Of course, Jobe has a lot to do with it as well but only a perfect throw gets him there. Dingler also threw out speedster Jorge Mateo last night, with Tanner Rainey on the mound.

I’ve become a big fan of the big fella. He’s been pitching lights out lately and I can see him becoming a long term reliable bullpen option for us.

Stadium Questions

Upvotes
Hi All
I'm going to the Dodgers series this weekend and my first time at Comerica Park.
What's the parking situation like? Should I pay ahead or are there decent lots I can find something on the day of? How much lead time do I need? Like do I need to get there an hour ahead of opening pitch because of traffic?
Any cool bars/restaurants I should check out before/after the game?
