1912: Tris Speaker runs his hitting streak to 20 games, lining a hit in the first game of today's twin bill with the Browns. This is Speaker's third long streak of the season; earlier he had streaks of 20 games and 30 games, the only player in history to have three such streaks in a year.

1915: In the first match-up of Babe Ruth and Walter Johnson, the Babe comes away the winner, 4 - 3. He also goes 2 for 3 and scores a Boston run in the come-from-behind victory. Ruth is hitting .370, 2nd in the American League behind Ty Cobb.

1929: It is Charlie Gehringer Day in Detroit, and the popular 2B handles 10 chances in the field, hits three singles and a home run, and steals home in a 17 - 13 win over the Yankees.

1933: Jimmie Foxx hits for the cycle and drives in nine runs to break the American League record, as the A's beat the Indians, 11 - 5. A record eight players will hit for the cycle this year.

1934: The largest weekday crowd in history watches as the Tigers sweep a pair at Yankee Stadium by scores of 9 to 5 and 7 to 3. It is the Tigers' 14th straight; Schoolboy Rowe has won 13 in succession on his way to 16 straight. 2B Charlie Gehringer is the hitting star of the day with 6 RBI in the twin bill. The next day the Yankees will end the Tiger streak.

1935: Schoolboy Rowe beats the Senators 18 - 2 and also goes 5 for 5 at the plate. His hits include a double and a triple, and he scores three and knocks in 3.

1937: Detroit star second baseman Charlie Gehringer collects a personal-high 12 total bases in one game with two singles, a double, and two home runs. It?s in one of two blowout victories Detroit has on the day over the Browns, 16-1 and 20-7.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E8Xj7ieX...pg&name=medium
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FZ4w2IcUcAgkzoj?format=jpg&name=medium
In a doubleheader against the Browns, the Tigers set a major league record scoring 36 runs. The Tigers take the first game, 16 - 1, behind Elden Auker pitching a complete game four-hitter while hitting two homers. The nightcap sees Detroit win handily, 20 - 7, while slugging six homers. Pete Fox tallies eight times in the double win.

1937: The Detroit Tigers purchased Al Benton from Memphis (Southern Association).

1941: Jonas Gaines of the NNL Baltimore Elite Giants beats the NAL St. Louis Stars 3-1 in an interleague game at Hammond, Indiana, striking out 19 opposing batters, an all-time high for Negro league pitchers. However, since it was an interleague game, is will not be recognized as a record for any particular league.

1945: A Great Day in History, WWII was over.

1948: Rookie George Vico drives in seven runs to pace the Tigers to a 10 - 3 win over the Browns. Vico is one better than a cycle, collecting two doubles, a triple and homer to back Virgil Trucks' sparkling one-hit relief effort over 6+ innings.

1950: Before 60,120, the Indians turn back the Tigers, 3 - 2, in 10 innings, and reduce Detroit's first-place advantage to 2 1/2 games. Al Rosen ties the game in the 9th with a two-out home run. RF Bob Kennedy helps the Tribe's cause by starting a triple play from the outfield, recalling Tribe LF Charlie Jamieson's two triple plays of 1928.

1951: Ted Williams hits two home runs to take the American League lead, and the Red Sox pull off a triple play to beat the A's, 7 - 4. With his 25th home run, Ted reaches 100 RBIs.

1952: The Detroit Tigers traded Don Lenhardt, Dick Littlefield, Marlin Stuart and Vic Wertz to the St. Louis Browns for Bud Black, Jim Delsing, Ned Garver and Dave Madison.

1960: The Yankees lose a doubleheader to Washington and fall to 3rd place in the American League, a half game behind the Orioles and White Sox. P Camilo Pascual's grand slam is the difference in a 5 - 4 first-game win. In the second game, Mickey Mantle, believing there are two outs, jogs to first base on a grounder to third.
The Senators turn a double play, with New York's Roger Maris suffering bruised ribs trying to break it up at second base. Maris will miss 18 games as a result. Mantle, believing there are two outs, jogs to first base on a grounder to third. Mantle is heavily booed, and manager Casey Stengel replaces him with Bob Cerv. The clubs set a major-league record by using 17 pinch hitters - 9 by the Yankees - in the doubleheader (more than 18 innings), while playing a major-league record 24 errorless innings.

1966: Denny McLain steals third base, the only stolen base of his career, and scores on a grounder in an 8 - 5 loss to the red sox.

1968: Bill Freehan's solo homer and Norm Cash's RBI triple lead the Tigers to a 3-0 win over the indians. Mickey Lolich pitches 5+ innings of scoreless relief for the win.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EB4LgEzW...png&name=small

1972: In Atlanta, Johnny Bench drives in five runs on a home run, double and single, to lead the Reds to a 12 - 2 win over the Braves.

1971: Cardinals legend Bob Gibson hurls a no-hitter vs. the Pittsburgh Pirates.

1984: After getting swept in a doubleheader, the Tigers are 77-43. The Blue Jays sweep a doubleheader to pull within 7.5 games.

1984: The Detroit Tigers released Glenn Abbott.

1988: Detroit pounds Boston 18 - 6 at Fenway Park to end the Red Sox' American League-record home winning streak at 24 games, two shy of the major-league record held by the 1916 Giants. Roger Clemens gives up eight runs in 1 1/3 innings as the temperature hits 97 degrees. SS Alan Trammell, C Matt Nokes, and 1B Dave Bergman each knock in 2 runs, but RF Chet Lemon and DH Darrell Evans each have 5 rbi.

1991: Seattle's Randy Johnson tosses a one-hitter against the Oakland A's, losing the no-hitter in the 9th inning when Mike Gallego singles. He records his 11th win of the year with the 4 - 0 victory.

1991: San Diego's Fred McGriff hits a grand slam for the second game in a row, tying a major league mark. He is the 12th player - but just the third National Leaguer - to perform the feat, with Babe Ruth the only one to do so twice. His blast brings home all San Diego's runs in a 4 - 1 win over the Astros.

1998: The A's Rickey Henderson's stolen base in the 1st inning against the Tigers makes the 39-year-old the oldest player to steal 50 bases in a season.

1999: With his 20th stolen base in Chicago, Texas backstop Ivan Rodriguez becomes the first catcher in major league history with 20 homers and 20 stolen bases in the same season.

2000: The Tigers score eight runs in the 5th inning and go on to defeat the Mariners 15 - 4.

2007: The Detroit Tigers traded Jack Hannahan to the Oakland Athletics for Jason Perry.

2007: Bobby Cox is ejected by Ted Barrett for arguing a strike call against Chipper Jones. It is Cox's 132nd career major league ejection, breaking the record held for over 70 years by John McGraw.

2009: Tigers win 1-0 on a walk-off home run by Brandon Inge. Jerrod Washburn pitches a gem: 8 scoreless innings with 3 hits and 2 walks.

2012: The Tigers' Miguel Cabrera becomes the first player to reach 100 RBI this season and Doug Fister does not allow an earned run over 8 innings to even his record at 7-7 after a poor start as Detroit defeats Minnesota, 8 - 4.

2014: The Detroit Tigers signed Casey Crosby as a free agent.

2014: At their quarterly meeting in Baltimore, MD, Major League Baseball owners choose MLB Chief Operating Officer Rob Manfred to succeed Bud Selig as Commissioner. While a number of rounds of voting are necessary, the final vote is 30-0 in favor of Manfred. He is slated to take over from Selig on January 15, 2015.

2016: Michael Fulmer pitches a complete game 7 - 0 shutout over the rangers, the first by a Tigers rookie since Justin Verlander in 2006.
https://pbs.twimg.com/card_img/11617...g&name=900x900

2017: The Detroit Tigers released Argenis Diaz.

2019: With his 3,167th hit, Albert Pujols passes countryman Adrian Beltre for most by a player from the Dominican Republic, and by any player born outside the United States.

2022: The Detroit Tigers purchased Ricardo Sanchez from the Philadelphia Phillies.

DEEPER DISCUSSIONS.
Totally Tigers

At some point before the end of the year, the Tigers will have a new GM.
He will be faced with a torrent of concerns that need addressing ? scouting, drafting, player development, farm system depth, roster building and much, much more.

Two concerns in particular were front and center this season. Injuries and lack of offense.

The Tigers have had one of MLB?s highest number of players on the IL. They lost their entire starting rotation (except for Eduardo Rodriquez) to injury and a whopping 12 pitchers were/are on the IL. And we?re not even including hurlers who had issues with broken fingers or fingernail problems.

Four of these have undergone season-ending surgery with the possibility of a 5th ? Tarik Skubal ? looming. He is seeing a specialist on Monday about his elbow and has been shut down for the rest of the season.

With the exception of Matt Manning, all of the top pitching prospects expected to headline a new rotation, are out of commission. And at least 1 pitcher won?t see action until 2024.

The second concern is about the team?s utter lack of offense. The Tigers rank last in almost every offensive category. They are dead last in runs scored (and it?s not even close) and are on a pace to break the historic team record that goes back to 1901.

But this issue isn?t unique to the MLB level. There is also little proven offensive talent in the farm system.

If you were the new GM, which one of these would you select as the priority to address and solve? Both are extremely important, but is one of them more crucial to getting the Tigers turned around and winning more games?

Today?s blog addresses this dilemma and allows readers to share their thoughts in more detail. And hopefully, to actively engage with others by responding to their posts and creating back-and-forth discussion threads. The more the merrier!

For this one blog only, you?ve got 6 sentences max to share your thoughts.
Of course, you can respond to as many other readers as you want.

TT will supply the ammunition. One thought-provoking question. Several options provided. One hard choice to be selected. One vote.
Ready?

Which one of these concerns is the top priority to address?

1. Huge number of injuries.

2. MLB-worst offense.

VOTE
 
Not sure what all this means (probably would've made a bigger stir pre-analytics) but Riley Greene has two walks in his last 108 plate appearances (with 40 Ks) covering 24 games. He was the leadoff hitter in all of them. He's slashing .221/.241/.356 in that span.

Tigers are 7-25 in their last 32.

deGrom is the most dominant SP in baseball when he's on the mound, but it can't be overstated how amazing it is that Scherzer, Verlander, & Kershaw remain among the top arms in the league. The 3 sure-fire HOFers just keep doing what they do.

Strange outing for Manning a lot of growth in an important area. 4S FB velocity, especially up. Has ZERO slider quality, and maybe threw more really good change ups than I have ever seen him execute, and I liked the battle, but damn Matt its year 6, you got to have a slider by now.
to prove this point
17 swings and misses for Manning
13 on FB
3 on changeups
He threw only 7 sliders because frankly..it sucked.

Tigers lose to White Sox, ending rough weekend in Chicago.
Mlive

Since beating the White Sox on July 8 in Chicago, the Tigers have gone 7-26 and are now 30 games under .500.

All three games this weekend had two-run margins, so they weren?t blowouts. But they did have some common themes: A ton of strikeouts.

On Sunday, the Tigers struck out 14 times without drawing a walk. Willi Castro went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts. Everyone in the lineup except Akil Baddoo had at least one.
 
August 15 in Tigers and mlb history:

1905: The Detroit Tigers released Herbert Jackson.

1907: Chief Bender wins his 11th straight for the Athletics, 4 - 2, over Cleveland, to tighten the pennant race with the Tigers. The Chief is helped by right fielder Socks Seybold who pulls off an unassisted double play. He'll pull off another on September 10th against Boston.

1911: Cy Young, 3-4 with Cleveland, is given his release. He returns to Boston and signs with the National League's Rustlers, where he will close out the year 4-5, and his pitching days with a 511-315 record, 750 complete games and 7,356 innings pitched.

1914: At the Polo Grounds, 32,000 watch as Lefty Tyler and Christy Mathewson throw goose eggs for nine innings. In the 10th, Red Smith singles and Hank Gowdy triples him home. Matty then wild pitches Gowdy home for 2 - 0 lead. New York loads the bases in the 10th with no outs, but Tyler slams the door with no Giants scoring. The Braves now trail by 3 1/2.

1916: Boston Red Sox pitcher Babe Ruth outduels Walter Johnson in 13 innings for a 1-0 win over the Washington Senators at Fenway Park.

1916: Newspaper story on Ty Cobb.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cp7_HODUIAACZCU.jpg

1921: A major-league record streak of 10 straight hits by the Browns' George Sisler is stopped by Detroit in the 4th inning, but he goes 2 for 3 with a two-run homer in the 6th. The Browns win, 3 - 2.

1922: In a game between Chicago and Boston, 35 singles are hit - 21 by the White Sox, 14 by the Red Sox - an American League record. Chicago wins the hit parade, 19 - 11.

1927: Leading 1 - 0 and one out from a complete game no-hitter over the Memphis Red Sox, Chicago American Giants pitcher Webster McDonald allows an unearned run to score on errors, tying the game at 1 - 1 in a Negro National League game. McDonald loses the no-hitter in the 10th when he surrenders a single, and he loses the game, 2 - 1, when the Red Sox score in the 11th on back-to-back doubles. McDonald's near-classic just misses being part of the only back-to-back no-hitters in Negro Leagues history, as teammate Willie Powell had no-hit the Red Sox the day before.

1931: Lefty Grove wins his 15th straight, beating the Indians, 4 - 3.

1935: Marv Owen goes 3-for-3 with 2 doubles in a 6-3 win over the Senators.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DkPW0tkX...g&name=360x360

1945: Umpire Ernie Stewart is canned by American League President Will Harridge for "disloyalty." Stewart had complained about the pay and taken his case to Commissioner Happy Chandler. Bill McGowan is the top-paid umpire in the league at $9,000.

1945: Commissioner Happy Chandler sells World Series radio rights for $150,000 to Gillette. Ford had been the World Series sponsor since 1934, paying $100,000 annually.

1946: In the first 1946 East-West Game, the East wins, 6 - 3. It is the first East-West Game since Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in organized baseball (he has yet to make his debut in the major leagues). Howard Easterling gets three hits and Barney Brown tosses three perfect innings.

1950: The Red Sox defeat the Athletics, 8 - 3 and 9 - 4, to begin a streak in which they reel off 27 of 30, propelling themselves back into the pennant race. Walt Dropo is hospitalized, however, after being beaned by the A's Hank Wyse.

1951: Al Rosen belts a 1st-inning grand slam to jump start the Indians to a 9 - 4 win over the Browns, their 13th in a row. For Rosen, it is his fourth slam of the year, just the 9th player to accomplish the feat. Ned Garver gives up seven runs in the 1st inning in losing to Early Wynn.

1955: Mickey Mantle homers from both sides of the plate in the same game for the second time in his career, tying the major-league mark. The Yanks beat the Orioles, 12 - 6, in the second game and sweep the doubleheader to move back into first place.

1960: The Detroit Tigers released Clem Labine.

1960: In the first of two games at Crosley Field, Two noted 'Tough Guys" Frank Robinson and Eddie Mathews exchange punches after Robbie slides in hard at third base in the 7th inning. Robbie comes out on the short end with a swollen eye, bloody nose, and jammed thumb, but comes back in the nitecap with a double and homer to lead the Reds to a 4 - 0 win. Thereafter, Mathews is forever known after this exchange never to be trifled with.

1961: Frank Malzone is 5 for 5 with a pair of homers in the Red Sox's 8 - 0 shellacking of the Indians. Gene Conley throws the shutout and hits a homer. Jackie Jensen and Carroll Hardy hit back-to-back home runs in the 5th.

1961: At Los Angeles, the 2nd-place Reds' Joey Jay (17-7) gives up three singles and two runs in the 1st and just three hits after that in subduing the first-place Dodgers, 5 - 2. Losing pitcher Sandy Koufax (13-8) almost adds another hit but is thrown out at first base by RF Frank Robinson. Announcer Vin Scully says, "Sandy forgot to run."

1961: Tigers sweep a doubleheader against the Orioles to cut the Yankees' lead to 2 games.
Game 1: Frank Lary pitches a 4-hit shutout, Norm Cash hits his 30th home run of the year.
Game 2: Trailing 2-0 in the 9th, Tigers rally and win on an Al Kaline walk-off single.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ECA6Kw1W4AcAgQ3?format=jpg&name=small
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ECA6Kw1W...jpg&name=small

1964: Mayor Richard Daley declares "Ernie Banks Day" in Chicago and 26,000 fans cheer the Cubs' slugger. Banks then goes hitless as Pittsburgh wins, 5 - 4.

1971: Vida Blue raises his record to 22-4 as the A's beat the Yankees, 6 - 4. Blue scatters 10 hits and scores the tie-breaking run on a wild pitch.

1975: Earl Weaver is ejected twice by umpire Ron Luciano. The fiery Baltimore manager is thrown out in the first game of a doubleheader and is tossed again before the start of the second game.

1975: Frank Tanana pitches an 8 - 0 shutout as the Angels hand the Tigers their 19th straight loss.

1984: The Tigers cuff Tommy John for ten hits in six innings to beat the Angels 8 - 3. Dan Petry (15-5) scatters eight hits in eight innings, and Dave Bergman backs him with two triples and three RBIs. With Cleveland beating Toronto twice, the Tigers' lead is now nine games.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CprNJcDW...g&name=900x900

1991: Lou Whitaker hits 2 home runs in the Tigers' 6-4 win over the White Sox.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D5fWrYwW...pg&name=medium

1992: Texas P Bobby Witt walks 10 Tigers in 4 2/3 innings, as Detroit strolls past the Rangers 10 - 3. No one has walked this many in this few innings.

1995: The Houston Astros traded a player to be named later to the Detroit Tigers for Mike Henneman. The Houston Astros sent Phil Nevin (August 15, 1995) to the Detroit Tigers to complete the trade.

1999: The Angels defeat the Tigers, 10 - 2, as Chuck Finley becomes the first pitcher in history to strike out four batters in an inning twice in his career. Finley previously fanned four Yankees in Anaheim's game with the New Yorkers on May 12th. Both instances occurred in the 1st inning.

2001: The Tigers defeat the Angels 5 - 1, as Detroit OF Roger Cedeno leads the team with five hits.

2010: Albert Pujols becomes the first player to hit 30 homers in his first 10 seasons with a 1st-inning shot off Ryan Dempster of the Cubs, but the Cardinals lose, 9 - 7, in spite of scoring 5 runs in the 9th. Pujols has also hit over .300 and driven in over 100 runs each season he has played so far, and is on pace to reach those totals once again.

2011: The Minnesota Twins traded Delmon Young to the Detroit Tigers for a player to be named later and Cole Nelson (minors). The Detroit Tigers sent Lester Oliveros (August 16, 2011) to the Minnesota Twins to complete the trade.

2011: Jim Thome hits two home runs for the Twins in their 9 - 6 win over Detroit to become the 8th player to reach 600 home runs. Thome hits a two-run homer off Rick Porcello in the 6th for number 599, then a three-run shot against Daniel Schlereth in the 7th to reach the mark.

2013: At the quarterly owners meeting held in Cooperstown, NY, Commissioner Bud Selig announces a plan to expand video review, which is now limited to home runs, significantly. Under the proposal, a manager will have the right to request up to three reviews per game - one in the first six innings and two in the last three - and will not otherwise be allowed to argue such "reviewable" calls. A number of decisions will remain non-reviewable, however. The plan still needs to be fleshed out, in particular by defining which calls are reviewable and which are not, before being submitted for formal approval at the next winter meetings. The Player's Union and Umpires Association will also need to agree to the changes.

2014: The Tampa Bay Rays shut out the Yankees, 5 - 0, behind Alex Cobb, to reach the .500 mark at 62-62. What is remarkable is that they were 18 games below .500 on June 10th, making them only the fourth team in history to return to parity from such a deficit. The 1899 Louisville Colonels were 22 games below before reaching .500 for the all-time record.

2015: The Detroit Tigers released Mike Belfiore.

2016: The Detroit Tigers released Jeff Ferrell.

2019: A game between the Athletics and Astros turns into a impromptu Home Run Derby as the two teams combine for 10 homers in a 7 - 6 Oakland win. Four players hit a pair of long balls: Matt Chapman and Matt Olson for Oakland, and Michael Brantley and Carlos Correa for Houston, only the 5th time this has happened in the majors. The 10 homers are a record for the Oakland Coliseum.
