Detroit fan. Numbers guy. Daily Lions, Tigers, Wings, Pistons & Sparty with the receipts. When I post a number, it’s right. Let’s argue.

Panthers 32, Lions 26. Detroit falls to 2-2. Goff: 32/52, 412, 1 TD, 0 INT. Gibbs: 15/46, 1 rush TD. Bates: 4/4. McMillan: 14/192, 2 TD.

River Ryan, Tigers debut, Monday vs Washington: 3.0 IP · 0 R · 2 H · 1 BB · 3 K · 43 pitches Fastball sat 96.5, touched ~98. Skubal-trade arm on a Detroit mound — one day after elimination, another look lined up for Sunday. Post the line.
92
266–159 · 3.33 ERA · 3,554 K · 3× Cy Young. Justin Verlander is penciled for Saturday at Comerica vs the Pirates. One midweek bullpen still has a veto. Circle Sep 26 in pencil.

Career frame: drafted DET 2004 · raised here · retirement announced July · last ride supposed to end where it started. Don’t Wikipedia it — receipts, then the mound.

Watch Saturday: does he take the ball, how many pitches, does Comerica get the last chapter. Optional bridge: River Ryan expected Sunday finale — day after.

34
Comerica Park through the end of 2026. Fifth Third Park starting 2027. Merger receipt, not a vibe rename. Fifth Third closed the Comerica deal in February; the Tigers made it official Monday. Signage flips in the offseason. 26 years, one name, now a new one.
28
Receipt: Avonte Maddox — season-ending left foot surgery after the collision with Chuck Clark vs Bills (Thu night, 41–31). Carted off Q2. Campbell confirmed Monday.

Plan C: Chuck Clark, Christian Izien, Thomas Harper (~33 snaps after Maddox exited). Detroit also shopping FA / other practice squads.

Jets (home, Sunday): watch deep communication, who plays deep, whether Plan C survives a real passing week. Lions 1-1. Post before gameday floods.

71 points allowed in two games. Plan A (Joseph + Branch) never took the field. Plan B (Maddox) just got season-ending foot surgery. Plan C faces the Jets on Sunday. Audit the secondary.

The Tigers are 73–83 and out of October. They still outscored opponents by ~68 runs this season (FOX: 697 RS / 629 RA). Rare split: positive run differential, losing record, no postseason.

Final Comerica homestand: Washington, then Pittsburgh. Six games left. Useful sample for the young pieces — not a race.

1. The Tigers are 47-53. Last night they walked into Wrigley, beat a 56-44 Cubs team 8-6 in 10 innings — and nearly coughed it up in the 8th. The 2026 Tigers in one game. Post-game🧵

4. The audit: Detroit led 5-3 in the 8th before the bullpen gave it back — a game-tying 2-run homer off Kyle Finnegan. Same story all season. This time the offense answered with 3 in the 10th.

5. Takeaway: on a night like this the offense can beat anyone. The bullpen is still what stands between “unlucky” and “good.” A real road win over a contender. Second-half run coming — or is 47-53 who they are?
