    If Skubal had told Hinch he could go back out he would have gone back out

    Now you gotta let Holton pitch the 8th because you can't waste your 2nd best reliever in getting only 1 out.

    He threw 101 on his last pitch of the 6th.

    AJ pulled him. Trust me.

    Hinch weakness has always been bullpen management. He doesn't feel the flow of the game and manages every game the same despite the stakes.

    AJ probably had flashbacks to 2019 and regret he let Zach start the 7th. Tonight he should have let the SP go the 7th

    Not only that Skubal is the ultra competitor - there’s no way this guy was like “okay I’m done”

    Imagine pulling your MVP, one of the best pitchers in the game. Classic Hinch

    See now this is just stupid to burn Holton like that.

    Seattle is happy that your best 3 relievers have now entered the game.

    Pray this doesn't go extras Detroit.

    Now Vest is gonna throw 30 pitches in just this inning.

    Then what?

    Great job AJ.

    Kahnle or even Mize would be next up after the 9th inning.

    Luckily he understood game flow in both game 7s of the ALCS and WS, respectively.

    Junior for 4 innings, Morton for 3 2/3.

    Seattle has Bazardo and then somebody like Castillo after that.

    So both teams in the exact same position.
