Skubal pulled at 77 pitches through 5.

What a well run team that clearly states its expectations:

A mid market team that doesn't use the crutch of bad contracts or bad luck and complain through their proxy media mouthpieces. It must be nice.

Skubal and Manning back to back games. Let's see some positive momentum.

I don't want Tucker Barnharts disastrous season to go unnoticed. He's a 31 year old catcher...they age on different curves so he is probably still in his physical prime. His walk and strikeout rates are in line mostly with last year. The iso% is at .033. He has a .234 slugging% and a -14.3% offensive WAR. wRC+ is 42!!!! OPS is .491, groundball rate is 56% and barrel % is 1.6%. I would DFA him at the same time they send out Robbie Grossman. And this was a good trade...it's just another part of the crap sandwich of a season.

Last 15 hitters did not reach base. This team has no competitive character.

Yes!!! 4 errors.

I want more errors than hits today. Let’s do it tigers.

Over/Under 3.5 relievers traded?

Al’s reign of error on display lol. Both castros and vic reyes in the lineup. Harold is hitting cleanup.

Is this a good catch or just Willi doing Willi?

3 baserunners through 6 innings..good stuff.

Day off for Riley Greene

Via Hinch: Friday's starter in Toronto will be a mystery...and a guy who hasn't pitched for the Tigers at all this season.

Jeff Passan:

Rhymes time.

They showed some grit coming back. Once it got to extras and they used Soto, it wasn't going to work. I'll take some positives out of the comeback. This is a lost season with a rudderless franchise. Thanks Chris and Al.

We lost the bidding war.
