Looking at some statcast data the Tigers have a team wOBA of .333 with an xwOBA of .340. Those rank 7th and 8th in MLB respectively. The next closest team in the Central in wOBA is Cleveland at .312 and in xwOBA is the Twins at .319. The Tigers are 5th in first swing% but 15th in swing%. The pitching has wOBA of .283 and an xwOBA of .301 which rank 2nd and 1st in MLB. The Royals are close behind ranking 3rd in both wOBA and xwOBA with .285 and .305. Tigers staff is second in baseball with a whiff rate of 27.8%. Overall, the statcast data is very good and reinforces that this isn't some flukey run. This team is legit. And we still haven't added back Vierling/Meadows.

25 hits and 4 ER.

Just a 30 minute lull.

There is literally a 0% chance Skubal pitches. They would have their position players throw 300 pitches before they have Skubal pitch. They cannot have Mize and Skubal on the same day pitching schedule, one of them would then have to pitch on short rest to reset that.

0% chance Skubal pitches. They only have Montero for this day, he's pitching.

Montero. If Mize and Skubal both started one of them would have to turn around and pitch on shorter rest to separate their spots in the rotation again.

Riley with his third well hit balls that ends in an out.

It has nothing to do with McGonige. He may stick at SS, but he is not a slam dunk SS, and there is a good chance he may end up at 3rd long term as he fills out more.

Greene two well hit balls but nothing to show for it.

Think there's a good chance Rainer ends up at 3B long term.

That HBP hit the bat and not the batter right?

Hes on Twitter. He's talking about Twitter fans.

His wRC+ is now up to 135 on the season, which was what he hit last season.

Do the Angels not have any lefties in their bullpen?

Dont understand taking out Skubal after 73 pitches.

Angels broadcast showed it, but no idea what really caused it.

Bonds is allowed in the HOF.

Do you just prefer to listen to the radio? Cause I can give you a stream if you want to watch the games.

The difference in information is that there was a game postponed. They don't want to move Skubal off his rotation spot on Sunday. Very simple and straightforward, and not in any way disconcerting.

They didn't move him at the deadline.

Also, any suggestion of a contending team trading their ace for prospects is utter nonsense. They'd be more likely to trade two of their top 10 prospects for a two month rental arm to put them over the top.

They would 100% sign Skubal for 6-7 years at $30 mill per.

It ain't that big.

Yeah 70 grade is excessive, but he was looked at as a 25 HR guy.
