He’ll pitch in 20% of our games, if lucky and log 2/3 innings in of each of those. He is amazing, but we have won without him and will again. Winning is one step. The World Series is a much bigger step. If I didn't consider the Tigers a World Series contender with Skubal, I might align with your view. But I like to dream. Removing Skubal from the Tigers roster and adding Skubal to the Yankees, Red Sox, Mariners, Dodgers, Phillies ... makes the postseason path much more difficult. Skubal has pitched at least 6 innings in each of his 6 post season games over the past 2 years and has a 2.04 ERA and 1.91 FIP in the post season. Skubal has pitched 28% of the Tigers postseason innings over the past 2 seasons. No other pitcher on the Tigers staff comes close to those numbers. Edited 1 hour ago by Stormin Quote
