down 3-0

down 5-0

 

[byco42]

Tigers squander first-and-third situation, but there were two outs. Sweep seems unlikely.

 

[biggunsbob]

Baez left game after getting hit hard on the hand.

Radio show said x-rays were negative.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers plated 2 last inning and then got a shutdown inning front the starter. 5-2 top 5th.

The Batting Averages in these tiger line ups are not very impressive.

The Batting Averages in these tiger line ups are not very impressive.

All the baseball geeks will tell you that batting average doesn't matter. Only walk rate matters. I will say bullshit til the day I die.

If I were to rank the "importance" of batting stats

1) OPS
2) OBP
3) BA

Detroit Tigers announce good news on Tarik Skubal.

The Tigers have been without left-hander Tarik Skubal since he underwent surgery to repair a flexor tear in his forearm last August. Detroit hasn?t provided a specific recovery timeline for the 26-year-old hurler, though he?s out until at least late May after starting the year on the 60-day injured list. Skubal is soon to hit a notable marker in his rehab process, as he?s in line to throw his first post-surgery bullpen session this week (link via Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free-Press).

Skubal will certainly need multiple ?pen sessions and likely some live batting practice work before he?s ready to step into game action. Petzold notes the club is still without a firm timetable on when he might embark on a minor league rehab stint. That he?s throwing is obviously a plus and provides some hope he could return when or not long after he?s first eligible. Skubal developed into perhaps Detroit?s best pitcher before the injury, working to a 3.52 ERA with a 24.5% strikeout percentage through 21 starts last year.
