Let’s take a quick look at the Detroit Tigers rebuild through a wild 12-hour span on Tuesday. Because it shows how the Tigers are acquiring talent and getting some surprising wins – through every means necessary.
It started in the minor leagues. Lakeland, the Tigers’ High-A affiliate, was playing an early game on Tuesday, and Casey Mize totally dominated once again, going eight innings, allowing just one hit and no walks while striking out four.
Who did he pitch against? It doesn’t matter who Mize faces at this level. He’s like a bully on a playground, doing whatever he wants.
