Skubal is a menace. So fun to watch. Lets Go Tigers! 1st postseason win for Skoobs!

Tarik, is the best pitcher in all of major league baseball. A super star

They didn't really talk about it but he's a physical monster on the mound. He's a large man. I can't imagine standing in there knowing 100+ is coming.

I could listen to him talk about any baseball player ‘til the cows come home! He makes the game so beautiful in its complexity. I greatly appreciate that DeRo breaks down for the audience both sides of the ball. He’ll defer to a picture, but he’s going to explain to you. What a hitters thinking about what the pitcher is doing. And yet he can still break down what the pitcher is doing from a technical perspective. That’s a love for the game.

Ngl I looked at my dad yesterday after I saw Kerry’s home run and said “are we getting spoiled?” Like never before in my life have I had this much fun watching the Tigers, Lions and (hopefully) the pistons 😂

Finally starting to give Skubal some recognition.

I’ve been waiting on this kinda breakdown all season… now we get it

[paulmayer]

On another note, Holton being on that runs saved graphic is diabolical for a reliever.

Dude I've went to multiple games this year and goodness you can feel the heat coming off his fastball it's insane

best show in all of sports, mlb network

Those tree trunks for legs allows that left arm to be a cannon. . Go Skuby!

[Fanculo]

I love the cardiac kids chances! They fear nobody. 👍

[ejlahti]

I'm not a baseball fan and this is great analysis, thank you

[rlhanks]

haha! His final line here was the Astros were not going to be dominated by Skubal. I guess that statement was 100% wrong

[ecbrown]

There’s no universe where I would have believed two months ago that the Tigers would be A: In the postseason B: The hottest team in baseball

[thinkhealthy]

LOL he got that last part wrong. Skubul took care of them.

[MIResident]

This aged beautifully as he pitched 6 shutout innings.

[spdcrzy]

2:45 is the shot. You can see JUST how much more square he is to the plate, and how much less chicken-wing-y his elbow is. So much less wasted angles and motion.

[Davexx]

I’m here after he walked in and dominated those guys lol. Rule number 1: you don’t hit Skub

[JohnnyAcosta]

On the road today, they have a chance with him on the mound.
