Tigers appear to have a starting pitching crisis lol.

Shades of Jarrod Washburn's disastrous Tigers stretch here with Paddack.

The difference being that Paddack is alternating between good and bad starts. Washburn had one really good start, and was meh to awful in the rest of them.

Paddack might get one more chance after this, but if he has another stinkeroo next time, he might be outright replaced in the rotation by Troy Melton and then go the Maeda garbage-time route the rest of the season, before getting left off the October roster.

Paddack doesn't miss bats..he gives up high EV in his 'good' starts..it's basically all luck if the ball doesn't drop.

Royals picking up where they left off last weekend

Last Sunday? We beat them Friday and Saturday. But with Paddack pitching, well, he has over a 4.50 career ERA, in 7 years. It's not a small sample, he is what he will be and always has been. A 5th starter for a team that finishes 20 games out of first. Like Minnesota?

[Edman85]

I doubt we see Melton in the rotation. As much as I think the science behind this is suspect, I think Melton's innings are being regulated.

Yeah, I would rather see Melton start. At least he has some upside. This clown belongs on team 15 games under .500. Then it would be, who cares? But in a divisional race? Hard pass on that trade, I don't care HOW cheap he was...

Flaherty, Morton, and Paddock are all a roll of the dice.

Mize hasn't been good recently either. But I'm taking Paddack out and trying Montero or SGL.

Waste his innings in long relief? At least start him and let him go 5 innings or so. Or even as a 3 inning opener. Or Montero from Toledo, he has better stuff than Paddack. Hopefully, Harris isnt tempted to extend him for 2 seasons...

Wow, actual RBI. Didn’t see that coming.

Riley double, Tigers take the lead.

Never a doubt … 😁

[IdahoBert]

What’s with the Royals taking Lugo out so quickly? Don’t they know they’re supposed to leave him in until he allows eight or nine runs?

[Adullin]

Did the announcer really just call that triple a knock out punch? Does he not know about the jinx?

[Tigermojo]

101 steaks for Riley.
