SOURCE: Guardians traded for Patrick Bailey out of fear that Austin Hedges might become “too expensive to re-sign now that he has actually learned how to hit a baseball”

@ThatWsoxfan @never2olde The wager is you have to come back and say something if you’re wrong instead of blocking me and pretending this never happened

The White Sox after the home run derby curses Murakami’s swing:

Kyle Schwarber is the favorite to win the Home Run Derby tonight. Kalshi: $100 ➡️ $431 BetMGM: $100 ➡️ $400 Can he put up an all-time performance in his home ballpark?

@meidrothMVP @never2olde The best comeback White Sox fans have is to say our team’s name

@DetroitTankCity A three-out gap is not massive. It’s a 14% difference. Certainly possible to overlook when one starter allows fewer runs per inning.
fWAR pegs Skubal at about 12.6 WAR whereas Verlander’s best two-year stretch is 13.4
English
@JacobsFieldRBW It's only "tough to justify keeping Skubal" because the Tigers will almost certainly then lose him in the off-season and get a nothing but a draft pick.
Not for any other reason, at least in my opinion.
English
Justin Verlander, 2016: 6.2 IP per start
Tarik Skubal, 2025: 6.1 IP per start
I think some of the old timers on this app just genuinely don’t remember the game they were watching 10 years ago.
English
@DetroitTankCity It is. It is, however, not so much more impressive than 6.1 with a better ERA and strikeout rate. Especially not to an extent that makes it “tough to justify keeping Skubal”. Make sense?
English
@JacobsFieldRBW Averaging 7.1 IP per start is pretty impressive to me.
English
@kellen_brubaker @mrbrownie_elf Yeah, just a lottttt of good hitting prospects moving up in the system all at the same time
English
@mrbrownie_elf @JacobsFieldRBW All but 1 hitter from the last draft are now a AA, and we notably drafted for power over hit last year. Carceres is the youngest player weve promoted to high A in a very long time, hes only 18. Rosario is another power over hit guy, we got him for Eli morgan.

This may be the single most exciting day of farm system promotions ever.

Sure, your point is valid. And if OP had said this, there would have been no reason to disagree.
The problem is that OP exaggerated the difference in innings pitched per start as an argument for why Skubal isn’t valuable enough to keep.
During the last two seasons, Skubal averaged 6.1 innings per start. Even peak MVP Verlander “only” averaged about 7.1, and was usually below 7.
So yeah he generally went deeper into games, but Skubal gives the Tigers higher quality innings than Verlander ever did, so it’s ridiculous to say that Skubal is less valuable than Verlander to the point where it’s not worth keeping him.
English
@JacobsFieldRBW JV and Skubal may be comparable in stuff and greatness, but they are not particularly comparable in lasting in games.
That to a big extent involves different eras and different philosophies about what starting pitchers do. But that doesn't explain 100% of it.

@never2olde It’ll play well in two months when the Sox collapse and Murakami’s season OPS drops into the .700s

@TerryPaczas @IffyTheDopester @papatigermike Why do you think a spot starter who pitches under 100 innings per season is worth $40M lmao

@BuxTwin25 This is F grade trolling you suck at this dude

@JacobsFieldRBW Took you 5 hours to come back with that. You’re better than that lil bro.

The Tampa Bay Rays turned Griffin Jax into Taj Bradley lol
Will Ragatz@WillRagatz
The Twins traded Griffin Jax for a No. 2 starter in Taj Bradley and then turned Andrew Morris into Griffin Jax That's how you do it
English
@BuxTwin25 I’m asking a question, since changing the subject didn’t work once why did you think it would work the second time?
English
@JacobsFieldRBW I’m asking a question, since you like to leave out key facts, who did you guys trade caminero for?
English
@TerryPaczas @IffyTheDopester @papatigermike He averaged less than 100 innings per season do you have dementia?
English
@JacobsFieldRBW @IffyTheDopester @papatigermike Well he’s pitching the same as a spot starter or the starters now a days. Sorry Didn’t realize I was talking to the master
English
Can he just tell us where he’s going already I mean why does a 42-year-old man need this much attention

@JacobsFieldRBW @IYKbaseball I was simply making a joke and apparently you decide to take it the wrong way. Hence the laughing faces and no name calling 😂
English
@TerryPaczas @IffyTheDopester @papatigermike What kind of idiot thinks a 3.90 ERA reliever would be worth $40M per year
English
@IffyTheDopester @papatigermike @JacobsFieldRBW Still a major issue I have. Juan Berenguer by this though process would be worth 40 mil a year. Analytics has ruined the sport for me If this is the case. Then the tigers shouldn’t care about resigning skubal and letting stars walk since their way is the smartest
English
@IYKbaseball @papatigermike And this is supposed to convince me that you’re not an old timer?

You can’t even keep track of your own argument and it shows with you constantly moving the goalposts.
Your original claim was that it’s tough to justify keeping Skubal because prime Verlander threw marginally more innings per start than prime Skubal, but prime Skubal gives you better quality innings which is why both have similar WAR during their primes.
Try to keep your boomer ass focused and maybe you’ll make more sense.
English
Again — You missed the point entirely, which is why I had to spell it out for you. At this stage in their careers Verlander — in the same amount of seasons — had already thrown 473 (473!!!!!!!!) more innings than Skubal. That’s 2.5 more seasons of innings even if I’m giving you Skubal’s career high of 195 as the average. You also conveniently used Skubal’s numbers for the 2025 Cy Young season and not the current season and now want to use that same exercise against me haha. Clown.
My only point was JV was the definition of a work horse. Full stop and couldn’t disagree more if you’re trying to put Skubal in that same category. Just isn’t reality.
Both awesome pitchers. This isn’t even a hot take. Again you can’t in good faith look at their innings pitched and try to argue it’s the same. You’d lose every time.
