Thank you
Chris Fetter truly one of the best in the game. Reminds me of the success of the two other great Tigers pitching coaches in my lifetime, Johnny Sain and Roger Craig.
A.J. Hinch on Chris Fetter: "He was one of the first guys I hired. Has been sitting next to me for all of my time here. ... He’s a huge part of our pitching program, our gameplanning, our success. Getting to share that with him … that’s a full-circle moment".
Detroit Tigers make playoffs for first time since 2014
Can’t spell “clinched” without Hinch.
A.J. Hinch will manage in the postseason for the first time since the 2019 World Series, months before the Astros fired him amid the sign-stealing scandal.Asked about his emotions tonight, Hinch said, “When I came here to Detroit, I didn’t know if I was going to manage again, so it means a lot to me to be a leader of this team, and for an organization to take a chance on me, to put me back in this chair, bring my experience, and see the good I’ve done before. I didn’t plan on talking about it, but it matters a lot to me to see a team respond the way they have and get to October as a winner.”
With Tarik Skubal winning the AL Triple Crown of pitching: (wins, ERA and strikeouts), he would be the third Tiger to do it, joining Verlander in 2011 and Hal Newhouser in 1945.
He also leads all pitchers in bWAR with 6.3
An interesting comparison between these Tigers and the...2016 Cubs?! Tom Verducci and the MLB Central crew highlight the youthful exuberance that has fueled this late-season surge for Detroit, whose Postseason magic number sits at 1.
Is it a coincidence that Scott Harris was Dir. of Baseball Operations for the Cubs in 2016?
Tyler Holton over the last two seasons: 178.2 IP, 2.17 ERA, 0.82 WHIP. Deployed as both an opener and a high-leverage reliever, Holton has been elite out of the bullpen for a surging
Tigers team.
There are some similarities with other notable teams in franchise history, but the ‘24 Tigers are a unique brand.
