Default Tarik Skubal

What an incredible game he pitched today, beating Cleveland 5-0. Here's the final line:

9 IP, 0 R, 13 K, 0 BB, 2 H (94 pitches)

Incredible line and nice to see being up 5 runs his manager let him finish the game. Being an old timer, think I remember the Tigers giving Mickey Lolich a set of golf clubs for a shutout under 100 pitches. My how times have changed.

A complete game? No. Impossible. They'll probably have to shut him down for a month now.

A complete game shutout in under 100 pitches is called a Maddux. Apparently, 13 strikeouts is the most thrown in a Maddux game.

Skubal is really good. We're enjoying him here before he moves on to the Dodgers, Yankees, or Mets after 2026. But as good as he is, he rarely goes past 6 innings. He never goes past 100 pitches. I don't get how that's worth 50 million a year for 12 years - or whatever he ends up getting, but that's baseball these days. At least Verlander would give you 8 solid every time.

Excited to watch Skubal face the Cubs tonight.

Per Sarah Langs Skubal has 89 strikeouts and 3 walks in his last 10 starts

Skubal is the first pitcher to record 80+ strikeouts and 3 BB or fewer in a 10-start span in a single season in the modern era (since 1900)

Hard to believe Kershaw didn't have a stretch like that in 2016 the year he struck out 172 and walked 11.

EDIT: He missed by a single walk. Depending on which games you choose he had 10 game spans of 4 and 95, 4 and 102, 4 and 103, or 4 and 101.

Wow, that's crazy! Those are some impressive stretches by Kershaw.

Love me some great lefties!

I believe Glavine had a 74-pitch CG, but, obviously with few K's.

PLEASE don't get mad at me asking this:

Just curious, wonder what ethnicity is he. Wikipedia gave no indication. Just an unusual name for this old man (I don't get out much).

According to Deepseek, he is of Polish (mom's side) and Croatian (dad's side) descent. He apparently has a Polish eagle tattoo to honor his mother.
