Tigermojo Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Skubal had to trim some loose skin from his middle finger before the game. Could be tender and affecting his command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sports_Freak Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 2-0 feels much worse with this Tigers offense. Is Dan Petry finding excuses for Skubal's lack of command? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that is exactly one of the things that has obsoleted the idea of forcing guys to throw more pitches to get teams to their bullpens - bullpens are pretty damn good today, and deep enough that no-one has to go twice through the order. Maybe if you are lucky in three games you tire out a BP for your opposition's next series - great victory there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 (edited) there again is what is wrong with the tiger approach. tork took two fastballs for called strike looking for something better, but then ends up topping a change-up because he has to protect with two strikes. Especially with all the umps in the league calling pitches outside for strikes, it's just too suicidal to just hope for mistakes.
