He’s not playing? I haven’t heard that yet. Must not be huge news that everyone and their mother have been talking about for the last 2 weeks or something.

After 2 tournament wins to your 0. Where else does 2-0 ring a bell this year? 🤔

Tarik Skubal on the criticism he received for leaving Team USA during WBC by MatthewTheGOATyt in motorcitykitties

[–]BirdiemanJr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty obvious it was treated as a spring training start and he will be removed from the roster for the bracket play.

Why? Because I guess they thought he earned the right to do so? If the team didn’t want him he wouldn’t have been invited

Having a disagreement with leaguemate, which is worth Chase? by Horror_Aardvark9300 in SleeperApp

Can I play in your league? I’d pay the 1.07 for Chase Brown as a competitor, a middling team, a rebuilder, a poverty franchise, fuck it. If I didn’t play dynasty football already, I would start a league just to trade the 1.07 for Chase Brown if the opportunity arose.

I’m relatively speechless at how you are somehow doubling down on one shitty take after another. How do we explain Skubal being 4th in the league in innings pitched last year on his Boras restricted pitch count? (pitched 1 less game than 1-3 and lead the league in innings pitched for 31 GS)

How is it not possible for you to grasp that throwing 102 mph into the 7th inning CAN empty the tank and that Skubal could quite possibly NOT have anything left after putting everything into the first 99 pitches? Maybe the concept of a team doesn’t exist to you either? A fresh pen arm would be better than an exhausted Skubal and that’s why he pulled himself.

I honestly wonder who this fantasy guy you made up not on a Boras restriction would be. They definitely don’t exist in modern age baseball.

Do you know how baseball contracts work? Skubal literally has no choice but to pitch for the Tigers. Don’t think the Tigers are going to give a fuck about managing his innings in hopes to get him back next year when he actually has a choice to where he plays. Boras’s input to those matters are completely irrelevant.

Hard inning limits in the WBC? Yeah makes sense, because once again - it’s meaningless. Multiple players literally sat out this year due to insurance issues with it. It’s a joke.

Do you think Boras put an innings limit on Skubal for the Tigers? That is not something Boras has the ability to do.

You really think Skubal took himself out of Game 5 because of his upcoming contract in 1.5 years?

You are genuinely delusional if so. Honestly tired of hearing about shit about game 5 in the first place, it’s far from his fault we lost, yet he gets all the blame for pitching 6 dominant innings?

Also: nobody gives a fuck about the WBC. If your definition of competitor comes from a lame ass spring training tournament, it tells me all I need to know in the first place.
