Wouldn’t whoever was scheduled to pitch tomorrow keep his start, along with Skubal in the other game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdog Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Beat writers unified that it will be the Skubal in game 1 and Manning in game 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things that's interesting is that through pretty much all of this bad start, his K rate has stayed pretty much under control. One of the things that argues to me that Tork can put the ball in play when he wants to, but he's having to do it behind in the count too much and the need to be in survival mode has driven his barrel rate way down from last season. It sure doesn't look like anyone is getting through to him on his approach - assuming anyone is trying. All I'm hopeful for now is that if the HR start coming a little more regularly he'll relax and widen his sights a little. Seems like the inverse of how you should approach hitting, but it is what it is. Edited May 29 by gehringer_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad Manning can’t pitch the first game so we could get a Skubal/Skenes game. That would be worth playing hooky to see. Skubal/Jones ain’t chopped liver, either.

Tenacious D Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I’m OK with getting a split tomorrow. I’m assuming we won’t touch Skenes, so I’d hate to waste a Skubal start in that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblong Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Did it ever rain at Comerica? It didn’t in Dearborn. The radar was nuts. Giant green and yellow blobs heading south but it seemed to dissipate around 696 or M 59. I got some lightning alerts from my apps. postponing was the right call based on the radar. It seems like the last few years they’ve been more proactive in doing that rather than waiting it out. It’s my second one this year and I had several last year.
