Giants 3, Tigers 1: Toothless offense wastes a good effort from the pitching staff

Hinch and Fetter continue piece together enough pitching to win, but the lineup just couldn’t get it done.

Tigers can't 'piece anything together' in another road loss to Giants

The Giants flipped the game in a span of six pitches and scored three times in the fifth inning to hand the Tigers their third straight loss.

Six-pitch sequence sinks Tigers in another road loss to Giants.

Let’s be real about what’s going on here. Four veteran players were traded at the deadline. Vital pieces of the puzzle — Kerry Carpenter, Riley Greene, Reese Olson, Casey Mize, now Wenceel Perez, and, for the last two days, Matt Vierling — are out with injuries.
The Tigers have two healthy starting pitchers and have been rolling with a series of openers and bullpen days to fill out the rotation. They started a lineup of nine players Saturday and all but rookie Colt Keith spent time in Triple-A Toledo this season.

Detroit Tigers lose to San Francisco Giants, 3-1, in Brant Hurter-led bullpen game

The Detroit Tigers got another solid performance from their bullpen, but mustered just one run in a 3-1 loss to the Giants.

The Tigers (55-63) have dropped three games in a row.
They've won just 6 of 19 games since July 21.

Kenta Maeda, Shelby Miller, Mark Canha, are when you don't have much money to spend. You just can't be this wrong. Thats 26M, add the 14M for Flaherty and 65% of your shrewd spending was useless.

Three of these are in the starting lineup next year, Keith, Meadows, and Dingler. Two more could be bench players, Malloy and Madris.
The rest don't belong including Baez. At the rate players are brought up in this pipeline it will be another 4 or 5 years of the same AAAA players and BP games, and by that time, some of them will be gone to FA and want to GTFO of Detroit. This is a con game Ilitch is running with no intention of bringing in at least some middle tier FA's to blend in with the real rookies with a starting lineup that will win enough games to be at least a playoff contender. and fuck the two of the three Tigers newspapers and the Tigers official site with gloss stories about how great the team is coming along.
 
Baez has a spot regardless belonging or not. They won't get rid of a player making $25m. If this org. thought it was a good move to bring McKinstry back this season I don't trust them at all. Still not sold on Dingler or Meadows. I would bring back Tork but he needs to be on a very short leash.

And then I worry about Greene & Carp and not staying healthy. Personally I don't see next season being any better than this season.
 
54-52 overall
23-17 second half (-1 1/2 back)

West Michigan lost 7-0. He walked a bunch. Only had 1 hit. My son had a work event and Said it was bad.

DEEPER DISCUSSIONS.
Totally Tigers

Hasn’t Tarik Skubal been a joy to watch this year?
As much as we want to see him pitch through September, the Tigers have a very hard decision to make about him.
Innings limit.
Last year, Skubal pitched 80 innings after coming off surgery. So far this year, he’s thrown 143 innings (through Wednesday). All teams like to gradually ease their post-surgery pitchers back.
Technically, Tarik has at least 10 more starts left this year. How many more innings should he be allowed to pitch, especially given that the Tigers won’t be playing October ball?
He certainly won’t be allowed to pitch more than 200 innings.

The problem is that Skubal is chasing the Cy Young. If he’s shut down early, that may hurt his chances. Additionally, he is also in the running for pitching’s Triple Crown. You may remember that Justin Verlander won it back in 2011. Since then, only 1 other pitcher has achieved that feat – Shane Bieber back in 2020.
Skubes currently is leading in 2 of the 3 categories and in 2nd place for the third.
To play devil’s advocate, he is also the team’s most valuable player. Do the Tigers want to risk injury either this year or in 2025 by allowing him to pitch too much?

Could Detroit potentially move him to a strategy where he continues to pitch but is removed after 5 innings in order to keep his pitch limit below 200 innings?

What should the Tigers do?
Today’s blog addresses this question and allows readers to share their thoughts in more detail. And hopefully, to actively engage with others by responding to their posts and creating back-and-forth discussion threads. The more the merrier!

For this one blog only, you’ve got 6 sentences max to share your thoughts. Of course, you can also respond to other readers.
TT will supply the ammunition. One thought-provoking question. Several options provided. One hard choice to be selected. One vote.
Ready?

What should the Tigers do about Tarik Skubal?

1. Shut him down when he reaches his innings limit.

2. Have him pitch fewer innings per game.

VOTE
 
Skubal doesn't need to be sat. JV was hurt 2015, 133IP, pitched 227 innings the following year. Pitchers are suppose to pitch.

If they are stress free innings he could go 6 instead of 5 innings. The jump in innings is something all teams watch.

Stress free, as in less pitches to get through. But they all have pitch counts, weather it be 80-90-100+. If it's 100 and they only get through 4 innings, they get taken out. Pitch counts matter, its what AJ looks at. If he reaches his max, and there are two outs in the inning he might give them one more batter.
