It’s late so maybe I’m not getting this, but unless Skubal can swing a bat, would it really have mattered?
after the carpenter homer with no outs in the 6th, they went 10 innings without scoring again 

probably because skubal had retired 14 consecutive batters and the tigers pen immediately gave up a run (and the lead) the first inning he didn’t pitch.

I think we know where he applied the cream.

I think I'm dumping my SEA prediction shares now and taking my profit, no way they beat the Blue Jays right?

The 2015 and 2016 Blue Jays would like a word with you.

I’m suffering through a long layover at SEATAC. Every tv in the place had the game on. The tension was palpable. When they walked it off the place went nuts for about 5 seconds. It was more of a sigh of relief than celebration.

Man that sucked. Tigers struggled since may with leaving men in scoring position. Last night they left 9 on and it didn’t even seem that bad. 
 

After Kerry Bonds smoked that one I thought for sure they were going to let Skubs go 110-115 pitches (hindsight maybe they should have) 

going into the 8th up 2-1 is a lot easier to finish out than having to go through the whole order again. 
 

kudos to Seattle for shutting the tigers down in 4 of the 5 games as much as it pains me to say it they were the better team.  
 

going and getting Naylor and carpet hair at the deadline was a difference maker. The tigers loaded up on Charlie Morton and spare parts from the clearance section. 
 

would have been nice to have another bat in the lineup. 
 

tough to say it was a good year when they were boat racing everyone in the first half and had the biggest division collapse of all time but at least they made this a series and run down the stretch. 
 

go get a right handed bat and replace flahrety with a legit #2 and run it back.

Well AJ and the tigers....at least you didn't put 15 more pitches on the best pitcher in baseball!

Yeah. Hindsight is hindsight, but after taking the lead I would have let skubal throw until his arm fell off. 101 on his final pitch leads me to believe he had a bit left in the tank.

Tigers had the lead. They didnt need to score again if they give up no runs. Leaving Skubal in gives them their best chance of doing that regardless his pitch count.
