Another Hilarious Moment from Tigers’ Tarik Skubal Has Fans Bursting into howling
Detroit, MI – July 24, 2025
Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal has been dominating on the mound all season — but his most recent moment off the field might be just as memorable. In a light-hearted turn of events, Skubal delivered another dose of humor that had Tigers fans and teammates cracking up across the clubhouse.
During a team media session before Wednesday’s game, Skubal playfully interrupted a reporter’s question by pretending to take a “call from the bullpen,” using a shoe as a phone. “Yeah, it’s the heater calling,” he joked, holding the sneaker to his ear. “And it says we’re bringing the smoke tonight.”
The moment instantly went viral after the Tigers’ official social media account posted the video, captioned: “When the fastball has something to say… 😂🔥 #SkubalBeingSkubal”.
This isn’t the first time Skubal has shown his fun side. Whether it’s mimicking teammates’ batting stances or sneaking in dance moves during warmups, the lefty has earned a reputation not just as a leader on the mound — but as one of the biggest personalities in the clubhouse.
Fans flooded the comments with praise:
“Skubal needs his own comedy show!”
“Sign him to a lifetime contract just for this.”
“Best pitcher and prankster in baseball!”
Even Tigers manager A.J. Hinch joined the fun, saying, “As long as he keeps pitching the way he’s been, he can talk to as many shoes as he wants.”
With his combination of elite talent and down-to-earth humor, Tarik Skubal continues to win games — and hearts — in Detroit.
