Tigers vs Braves: April 28-30

McGonigle continues his on base streak.

3-2 Tigers. Can Skubal get to the seventh, not likely 59 pitches through two innings.

MLB is showing Skubal 45 pitches through 3.

was just coming to correct this.

I took it off ESPN box and grabbed the Braves pitcher not Skubal. My mistake. So we have a chance for 7, hopefully he can improve the third time through the lineup issue.

All good. Only corrected because I was looking at his pitch count through 2 and it said 33, so I was like WTF!!

Only 2 rookies have won a batting title since 1900. I think McGonigle has a chance to be #3

Lets see how Skubal fairs third time through the order starting wtih Ocuna in the 6th. 70 pitches. I double checked.

Skubal appears to be fine and made it through 7th think he is at 91pitches.

Finnegan up in the bullpen

Dingler– dam – missed that strike.

Yea, he should have challenged immediately instead it’s a walk. Missed opportunity from one of the best challengers in the league if not the best.

Ouch, hopefully doesn’t cost us.

Changes the way we feel about the game too, really easy to hate umps/bad calls but not when we had the chance to challenge but didn’t. Dingler probably not feeling as confident about it because of the early one in the game he challenged and was wrong on…

And now Finnegan about to walk the next batter, granted, it’s Acuna so be careful.

One thing ABS has shown for the most part, is how close most of these calls have been majority are within a 1/4 of an inch per the box. Or sure seems that way to me.

Finnegan messed around with Smith after being way ahead in the count… and now he can’t find the zone. :persevering_face:

He did have strike three missed by ump and Dingler..

Bigger issue right now is the pen’s inability to miss bats… it’s the biggest problem coming into the season and reamins so
