?The 2-Run Machine? is back.

The Tigers finding ways to win a few?but they?ve scored 2-runs or less (in regulation 9 innings) in 9 of their last 11 games. 3 or less runs in 10 of 11.

The one game where they broke out for 10 runs they managed to lose.

Everybody?s favorite Hinch quote was not just a line in the sand to the fans.. but to his Ownership and FO..#masterclass

even with how horrible Niko goodrum has become..the last 2 seasons..he is still a far better all around player than Zach Short..its not particularly close either..

Tough love fact of the day. The Tigers currently have the third longest current postseason drought streak at six seasons in MLB! Only the Mariners at 19 and the Phillies at 9 have longer streaks.
