The mustaches are out and the debate is on. In this episode of Litter Box: A Detroit Tigers Podcast, Bill and I host the ultimate facial-hair showdown: Motor City Mustaches: The Ultimate Tigers Face-Off. We pit some of the greatest Tigers mustaches from different eras against each other in a head-to-head battle to determine which ‘stache truly reigns supreme in Detroit baseball history.

From legendary looks of the past to the modern contenders wearing the Old English D today, the arguments get heated as we break down style, intimidation factor, and pure mustache greatness.

To keep things fair, we bring in our friend Reeve "RB Seger" as the official judge — the only man brave enough to decide which Tigers mustache deserves to stand alone at the top of the Motor City grooming hierarchy.

Expect laughs, nostalgia, and some surprisingly passionate mustache analysis as we crown the greatest Tigers ‘stache of them all.

Bill and Chet check in after a few games to give their assessment of the Tigers slow start at then plate. Plus, we talk jewelry and Max Clark; couples hot dogs, and other spring training ballpark fare!

Justin Verlander walked back into Detroit to the kind of ovation only legends receive. The fans rose. The cheers echoed. For a moment, it felt like time stood still. Verlander in the Old English D again—comfort, nostalgia, and hope all wrapped into one unforgettable homecoming.

But baseball has a cruel way of balancing emotion with reality.

We also dive deep into the spring training roster battles. Which young arms are now being forced into bigger roles? Who is stepping up in camp, and who may be falling behind? With Olson sidelined, opportunities have opened—but so have serious questions about depth, durability, and readiness.

We're Back! The Tigers offseason just got real. We break down Tarik Skubal’s arbitration hearing, plus the surprise Framber Valdez signing and how adding another frontline arm changes everything. Is this a true win-now move, or just insurance for the future? We look at how the Skubal situation could play out for trades or extensions. What does a Skubal/Valdez combo mean for the rotation hierarchy, and whether these moves signal a serious push toward contention in 2026. Optimism, risk, and a little bit of “same old Tigers” anxiety — it’s all on the table.

The MLB General Managers Meetings are in the books, and we’re breaking down what it all means for the Detroit Tigers. From early trade chatter and free-agent buzz to hints about the Tigers’ off-season priorities, we discuss what signals Scott Harris may have sent — and what wasn’t said that might matter even more. We also talk roster flexibility, areas of need, and how Detroit could position itself throughout the remainder of the off-season.
