Bar, was showing my son some pitching stats about success rates of working the count and bad/good hitting counts i was showing him Skubal as an example. We were watching the game.
We all know how good he is. But this is impressive.
He has faced 390 batters this year (prior to tonights game) . Only 8 batters have had a 3-0 count on him. 4 of them resulted in a walk. 1 of those walks scored a run. 2 of those 8 actually struck out.
Sorry to hijack your thread. But thats ridiculous.

Always hijack!!
We love it!
This thread is for all of us Tigers fans (long timers and those with 2025 futures) to discuss the team!
Fun time in Motown, we REALLY rally around our boys when they are in a pennant chase.
You can ask the guys a bit older than me (@HUNT and @jk16, for example), we are thirsty for a WS win. Those guys were able to savior the 1984 win. I was still a toddler and barely remember that.
I want this, we all do. That 2006-2016 era was incredible but we never got over the hump.
2013 was brutal. That was one of the better teams not to make the WS. Just look at that starting rotation. Wild.

How old is your son? Does he play ball?
Baseball has always been just a notch below footsies and b-ball for me -- but -- nothing like watching a baseball game in yesteryear with my pops. The stories from the old days and whatnot is the best.
Is this just a slump or does it indicate deeper problems?

Used to be "Fun Cub"
they were never going to keep that pace.
Definitely not.
Started 40-21
Went 20-20 the next 40, which wasn't full noticed due to the overall record.
There's a lot of division games remaining, but who's going to take it? Cleveland? They've gotten hot lately but are still 7 back and do have the 3rd easiest strength of schedule remaining, but I still don't think they can catch up.
Will be interesting to see if Detroit adds any pieces this week. Surely they will be, right?
Great question.
A month ago he said he was adding through trade.
Last week signs pointed to going the Baltimore route.
We need A LOT.

He has to be traded now
Seattle was always the front runner in talks around here but that quieted down after the Naylor trade. Think the shock starts wearing off at the plate in the next couple days, team went from possibly being buyers 10 days ago to saying their goodbyes and I think as it sets in the offense will slowly come back. Over in play tonight for sure other than actually betting on a team that has done nothing the last few games to contribute. Both pitchers can contribute at this point.

Consistently inconsistent. Can look great for 3 innings then randomly give up a 3 spot. Thing is everything got screwed up for this rotation when Burnes had deal with TJ. Gallen last year, Kelly last year....suddenly Pfaadt might be the best starter on the roster after the deadline. ERod's season is a toss off the TJ surgery, Nelson has looked incredible but Pfaadt is the most consistent left. And he's ridiculously inconsistent. The offense will pick back up, way too much talent not to but the pitching is going to be laughable the rest of the year. Blindly chasing overs with this team will make you pretty happy at the end of the day.
