Insane GIF of Miguel Cabrera’s range as a Home Run hitter
This GIF overlays six of Detroit Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera’s home runs from last year. What you see here is that there were six completely different locations for pitches, with not a single one of them in the strike zone, and he managed to hit all of them out of the park.
After looking at this GIF, it’s pretty easy to see why Cabrera was able to win the Triple Crown...
Detroit Tigers: resizing the AL Central
45 games into the season the Detroit Tigers are in the middle of a tighter than expected AL Central race. Detroit enters play on Friday trailing the upstart Cleveland Indians by a half game. Kansas City is five games behind the Tribe with the White Sox only a ½ game behind them. The Minnesota Twins, as expected, are bringing up the rear at 18-26 and eight games back.
If only Justin...
Miguel Cabrera on pace to win another Triple Crown
When Detroit Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera won baseball’s Triple Crown in 2012, for one reason or another, the achievement seemed to gain far less attention in the sports media than it deserved. Sure, there were the customary cover stories in almost all of the relevant websites and magazines, but for something that not one ball player had been able to do since 1967, the feat...
IN THE ZONE
GIF shows off Cabrera's incredible plate coverage
Coming off the first batting Triple Crown in 35 years, Miguel Cabrera is making a bid to be the first hitter to do so in consecutive seasons. He currently leads the American League in batting average (.391), RBI (55) and is one home run off the pace at 14.

Tigers' Austin Jackson likely won't return from DL Monday
Although he is eligible to return from the 15-dal disabled list on Monday, Austin Jackson will probably spent a little more time recovering. The Detroit Tigers do not want to rush the outfielder back from his hamstring injury. Considering the seemingly large rash of hamstring re-injuries this season, that might be a good idea.
Chris Iott of Mlive.com says Tigers' manager...
Tigers 7, Twins 6

Game 2013.45: Twins at Tigers
Detroit Tigers: 25-19, 2nd Place (.5 behind Cleveland)
After a brief, but lengthy (the two games took 8 hours and saw almost 800 pitches) two-game sweep of the Central-leading Indians, the Tigers return to Detroit for four with the Twins, followed by a 2-and-2 series with the surprising (and Penguins-Jersey-Wearing) Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Twins have been struggling, to put it mildly...
Can Mike Trout snatch the MVP?
On May 21st, Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout became the youngest American League player to hit for the cycle since 1930 at 21 years old.
The second year phenom won AL rookie of the year in 2012 and he also finished second for the league’s MVP award, behind only Miguel Cabrera.
But will Trout be able to dethrone the reigning MVP for the title in 2013?
As of May 22nd...
