The Tigers drop a couple series, and MLB is proposing a draft overhaul?

"Some team is going to do this. We just don't know who." Ken Rosenthal discusses what the Tigers would look for in a deal involving Tarik Skubal.


“The Detroit Tigers are looking at Yankees prospects (and others, too) and are believed to like them, especially SS George Lombard Jr., whose dad is the Tigers bench coach, and reliever Carlos Lagrange”.

What to know about MLB's draft overhaul proposal. This is going to get real ugly.

Tigers’ once-heralded three-headed bullpen monster approach has broken Will Vest.
The Tigers have ruined what was a strength of their team.

Situation Specific Manager Situation Success Rate. Bullpen: Manager goes to the bullpen mid-inning with RISP and 2 outs. Pinch Hitter: Manager pinch hits with RISP.
This doesn't tell how good the hitter is performing, or how badly the hitter who was pinch hit for would have performed. I think the managers numbers improve if he has better hitters to choose from. Hunch is middle of the pack here.

MV 408

Did Vielrling just go deep !
Wow 2-1 Tigers

What's the reasoning calling up a .228/.326/.333/.660. Hitter ?
Don't Others deserve a shot over this guy ?

No good reason, probably has something to do with options and pay scenarios, Harris is a dingleberry he’s more focused on player options than winning. 40 man roaster vs non.

Vierling bailing out turd skubal

Matt’s homer was 408 feet.
Sox homer was 420 feet.

Keith lines out to cf. More bad luck for tigers hitters. Ball was smoked
Nice catch by cf.

lol right on cue new Tiger Cruz k’s on a slow 82 mph pitch.
The hitting instructions system wide is suspect.

Lead off double don’t score don’t even advance the runner to third

Lettuce guess offense is done for the night.

Another unproductive at bat with a runner on 2nd and zero outs.
Look Dingler is a core piece but does he know how to hit behind the runner ?

Oh well didn't matter as Vierling K’s and Greene cant seem to drive anyone in lately.

Harris
Please trade Skubal as fast as possible for as many guys as possible.

Is it just a matter of time before we give up this lead ?

Another terrible pitch on a 1-2 count leads to a single.
1st and 3rd. Then a Slow roller cant be turned for two tie game.
2-2.. another single 1st and 2nd gel outs .
Just keep throwing cheese for these hitters TS.
Had last batter 1-2 count. Ends up walking him.
Bases loaded now.

Hurry up and trade him we can’t win with or without him makes zero sense to keep him any longer. 400+ m for a guy that will only give you 5-6 innings every five days.? Not worth it at all.

What’s Skubal mad about . Pointing at the white Sox dugout.

I do appreciate Skubal showing some emotion at least nobody on this damn team ever does. Is that worth 400m?

I think he’s just trying to light a fire.

I’m going to be unavailable to do game threads through June 29. I can resume on June 30 and I’d like to because I like doing them. Thanks, Byron.

So how many pitches will tiger hitters see this half inning after Skubal has a long one ?
