Kings of the Central
You know the tigers won again
Playoffs
I like winning
I would like to inform the world that this team is legit
Tied for 1st in the AL, you love to see it
This team man, what a start to the season
Keep it up boys
This team is so damn fun
Jobe my sweet boy
Congrats to Jobe for a well-deserved first win. Not a bad arm in this rotation.
Best team in the AL

9-5!! Tiger’s run at the end of last season spilling over into the start of this season!
If you’re still not taking this team seriously, I can recommend a doctor that can remove your head from your ass!!
Keep winning series and good things happen
Tork FC we have never been proven more right, I knew we were right to stick by our boy 🥹
Second shutout of the season. 1st quality start and win for Jobe. Overall a very good game.
I think the Tigers are a good team when they’re rolling and solid even when they aren’t…..but the Twins just stink.
Minnesota is gonna need to shake something up over there soon.
Best run differential in the AL

Jobe stats. This is a fun team
Another series win🐯
Fully Torked
I do gotta say though, I need to catch a game at Target Field, it’s a very pretty downtown ballpark
Baseball is fun!
Tigers won again
4 straight series wins! Love the consistency
After what we’ve been through with the guy, Tork bombs just hit a little bit different for me.
Tigers may never lose (a series) again!
I think we need a new 3rd catcher. Other than that I love this team.
I know it’s still so early in the season but it’s hard to not be excited when you see this !!!

God if Tork can become an elite hitter it would be fucking huge
4 straight series wins!! Torkelson has been so impressive.
Brad Aus…..🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Yessir
This is getting boring. Give us a good team to play fr 🥱
I just realized our upcoming homestand is gonna be tough, a decent Royals team, Padres and O’s….fuck….
Nice win! Does anyone know why Torres was out today?
Tork MVP season loading
Keith’s foot was on the bag
Awful call by the umpire but luckily the Twins lack of engagement caused the play to result in an out anyways
Riley Greene really needs to stop pressing
If Tork can be anywhere close to Ryan Mountcassle I’ll be happy
Keith had 2 really good swings today
And Jobe with his first MLB win
And finally god the twins are so bad lmao
Stuck to Dan on the radio today while taking the dog on a long leisurely walk. Heard the game playing out of a few windows and saw several big, beautiful Tiger flags flying proudly. Hard to compete with the NFL, but hopefully we get something approaching Lions level excitement going around metro Detroit this summer. This team deserves it. They play fun and they play hard, game in and game out.
I really love Detroit sports being the land of the cast offs and the underestimated, and turning that into just punching you in the face and winning. It’s beautiful 🥹
Also get in now for AL comeback Player of the year, Mize and Tork both have great value still at +900 and +850 respectively and one of them is gonna win it for sure
Colt has been an absolute liability at 2nd this season. His at bats have been improving with timely hitting and patience allowing him to take BB when needed. We need Gleyber back at full strength and spell Kieth and Tork at 1st / DH to allow for those crucial at bats in games.
