Skubal’s Masterclass & Lions Keep Rolling
Description
Matt Shepard and Sean Baligian break down Tarik Skubal’s historic postseason performance, striking out 14 in a game that sets the tone for the Tigers’ Wild Card series against Cleveland. The guys debate whether Casey Mize can follow it up, how much confidence fans should have in Detroit’s offense, and why small-ball might not be the solution despite playoff pressure. They also dive into bullpen strategy, key defensive miscues, and the importance of winning the opener in a three-game set.
Switching gears, Shep & Sean take a hard look at the Lions’ dominant win, praising a professional, no-nonsense performance that puts Detroit firmly in the NFL’s top tier. From Aidan Hutchinson’s resurgence to Baker Mayfield’s rollercoaster play, they cover it all—while sprinkling in humor, fan questions, and even a Super Mario Brothers/Wario comparison for good measure.
