It’s inexcusable to get 20.2 postseason innings in 3 starts from your ace where he posts a 0.68 WHIP, 15.68 K/9, and an opposition OBP/SLG/OPS of .187/.243/.450 and you give him a grand total of 4 runs of offense

Yeah I won’t complain too much as he was at 99 pitches but I was surprised at Melton and Flaherty

Would imagine this game spotlights the off-season need for multiple bats and multiple relievers with strikeout stuff

I sure would’ve liked to see Jahmai get a chance in place of Colt or getting an at bat from Ibanez or Perez when the entire middle of the lineup wasn’t hitting

Even more surprising is AJ going away from what got the team here. Didn’t use a single player off the bench to pinch hit despite playing nearly two full games. Also had quick hooks for Melton and Flaherty…

Game was a microcosm of the 2nd half of the season. Skubal dominates, all the bats do nothing (except for Kerry), Tigers pen hangs on by a thread and escapes miscues, Tigers bats still do nothing even with runners in scoring position, and eventually the game is blown

Averaging a pathetic 16 K/9 innings this postseason. Barely worth a billion dollars

Tarik Skubal strikes out the MLB's home run leader with a 101 MPH fastball on his 99th pitch of the night in the biggest game of his career.

Make this man a Tiger for life.

Yeah if you commit with the support from F3 and the strong side D, you can look a lot like Carolina in the way they relentlessly forecheck

caleb @calebwiim.bsky.social · 20h

Yeah, would prefer they commit and work through it and live with the results. Think they have the personnel for it, which maybe wasn't true in the past. And the upside for it was pretty visible last night, at least in the first half of the game.

Prashanth Iyer @prashanthiyer.bsky.social · 21h

Still thinking about last night’s game. The Wings are going to have to decide if they want to be an aggressive forechecking team or not. If all 5 guys aren’t on the same page, it leads to those breakdowns we saw and a lot of space in the neutral zone for the opposition

I thought about writing about all of the defensive miscues and overall sloppiness from the Red Wings last night but then I read this from @mbultman.bsky.social and I have nothing additional to offer.

Bad reads by the F’s and D opened the NZ for MTL all night
