That was a Tennessee Volunteer inning!

Huh? Of course he isn’t going to look like Ohtani. He just needs to be average, which is isn’t. 

I was being intentionally dramatic to show my extreme displeasure with him. 
But I also have higher expectations than "average" out of our starting 1B. With as light-hitting as this team is, we need production from typical high-producing positions.

Wenceel has seen 26 pitches in his three at bats today. He’s a one man wrecking crew.

Wenceel Perez is a way better hitter than Spencer Torkelson, just like we all predicted 3 years ago

Well I never saw that coming and not 100% sure it will always be that way but Tork sure looks panicked at the plate and Wencel is calm.

A guy in the stands was SO excited after the Perez double, he picked up his kid and was shaking him. Lol

[ICroupier]

Some truly fantastic ABs from Perez in this game.

Javy Torkelson.

[IdahoBert]

Pepiot w/86 tosses, 26 of them to Wenceel. Wow!

[IdahoBert]

Poche gets us out on 5 pitches in the sixth. 

[Tigeraholic1]

Great game by Skubal. Does he have the triple crown and Cy Young locked?

[Tigermojo]

Just seven shut out innings, no biggie. What a beast Cy Skubal!

[Motor City Sonics]

Skub just won the Cy Young award

 

Think he's fired up?    A little bit?

Ragans Ks are a concern.

[IdahoBert]

When Skubal celebrated that last out, I’m not a good lip reader, but he may not have said heck yeah. 
 

[IdahoBert]

According to a graphic on TV, our guy has 228 strikeouts and the other guy 217.

American League ERA is safe. An 18th win would put him two ahead of a few AL pitchers with 16, so worst he would do is share it and even that is unlikely. Only guy within strikeouts range is Cole Ragans, 10 back.

Ragans pitches tonight and both of them may pitch Sunday if necessary.

Needs 11 to tie? And Skubal could possibly have another start. Against the WSox.

[Sports_Freak]

3 more outs.

[IdahoBert]

Beau knows pitching. 

[Tigermojo]

Brieske dealing.

[lordstanley]

Pitchers fired up.

I think you got 75% of the letters right

[chasfh]

And here I am, the guy who wanted to kick Beau Brieske to the curb for two seasons in a row. 

[Tigeraholic1]

This team is playing with swagger.
