The Ronz Posted May 21, 2022 Posted May 21, 2022 Damn! Too bad about Skubal. He has been very impressive. Unlike Mize who I have not been impressed with at all during any point in his career. Quote

Expand I mean, that's fair, I just don't know that we'll have just Faedo and Brieske and TBD for the next month. Maybe for the next week or two. Quote

You need a guy like Peralta to come up big but there's no sign they have even decided to start him yet. Quote

I get that pretty much everything that can go wrong has gone wrong this season... but I would rather wait to hear what happened to Skubal before assuming he's out of the lineup for the next month Quote

Dave Christian Posted May 21, 2022 Posted May 21, 2022 I’m pretty much done with the Tigers this year. I’d rather watch little league baseball than the Detroit Tigers clown show. Quote

That ....you guessed it....tells us exactly nothing. The "sports *reporter*" species has become extinct without ever even getting on the endangered species list.

Expand I mean, a cook can only do so much with rotten meat. There are a minimum of 4 or 5 starting players on this team that wouldn't even probably make the roster of 2/3s of the teams in MLB.

kdog Posted May 21, 2022 Posted May 21, 2022 Skubal - left leg contusion. He will be evaluated tomorrow. Quote
gkelly Posted May 21, 2022 Posted May 21, 2022 Why would he resign? There are zero consequences for anything that the guy does. I am sure some coach will get the ax instead of the guy who constructed the roster. The lineup tonight, other than Barnhardt (mostly for his defense) and Baez (even though he is dreadful) would be about the only guys who would start for even 5 of the other teams in MLB. Quote
