And Perez hits a weak tapper to first on the first pitch. 

Wencel needs to start hitting or the Clark train is going to run him over.

I would guess that Max's ascent to Detroit will depend more on his own development than on Wenceel's failures.

I think if he had a better spring- especially defensively—they’d be quicker to pull the trigger.  Right now there’s no rush.

Keith will get 100 RBI’s with McGonigle and Clark hitting in front of him.

So I go to the bathroom, and when I come back out we’ve scored three runs in my absence… Sigh…

Well, that wasn’t the issue…

So, in the 4th Skubal Ks the side, which is cool and dominant.

But one of the most fascinating interviews with Sandy Koufax that I remember is where he said most enjoyed not so much striking guys out, but giving batters a pitch they simply couldn’t do anything with that resulted in a weak pop-up or an easy grounder.

Given that this is a guy that struck out, I think, 382 guys in a season this is something that really stuck in my memory and the importance of which is not insignificant.

What the heck is happening?

Who sent Flaherty out in Skubal's uniform?

[Dan Gilmore]

A strike!
