Moneyball was an imperfect movie which presented an oversimplified, insultingly condensed version of the introduction of Sbermetric philosophies to baseball. However, sometimes the simplest explanation is best approach, and, if nothing else, what the move did was provide a few easily understood analogies to explain the overlying widsom of mathematical analytics to the layman. That...

Crucial plays aplenty in Game 2
DETROIT Miguel Cabrera has said all season long that it takes 25 guys to win and Sunday's Game 2 proved him right.
Don Kelly will get the credit for the game-winning sacrifice fly but it took a lot to get the Tigers into position for a huge 5-4 walk-off victory over the Oakland A's.
The first was starter Doug Fister, who allowed just two runs on six hits while walking...

If there is one thing that you can't say about Tigers fans, it's that they support their players. Even when details like defensive ability and baserunning are presented in front of them.It's rather endearing that they show up to the game with crowns on carrying banners with sayings on them like the one in the picture above. It's also, well, slightly annoying to be...

It was an eventful weekend in Detroit. The Tigers won the first two games of their ALDS match-up with the Oakland A’s, and the manner in which they did so was pure theater. A lot happened at Comerica Park between six p.m. Saturday and 3:30 p.m. Sunday.

A series between two teams full of unique individuals doesn’t really fit into a nice plot with themes, characters and nemeses.
