pretty much over waiting for Ordonez to be able to hit again. Platoon frikken Dirks and RR in RF for all i care.

TinselWolverine[/color]]I'm not watching the game; following it on GameTracker - does Verlander seem to have dominating stuff, and just made a mistake in one inning like he sometimes does even when he's on his game - or does he seem to be just a little bit off his best game?

Gameday shows he is a bit all over with his pitches tonight, compared to what he normally does.

Still fooling them though.

biggunsbob[/color]]Nope...Sorry to see a great player who has lost it at the plate..

I agree, I think he retires in the offseason.

Muddy gets on base...

He gave up back to back walks and then threw a curve ball that caught the heart of the plate and A Cabrera got a double and two rbi.

I wouldn't say he has had his best stuff but his off day is a good day for most pitchers

well only 3 hits, the walks hurt for sure. marson stepped out during a windup and seemed to set that inning up for them, Verlander hasn't had the same k zone as carmona has especially the last inning.
Not real dominating, though some will say 9 k's, I just hope he and the bullpen can shut them down.

He could help

Verlander with 10 Ks.. Looking like his 2009 version in that category..

 

[amajjd]

Duncan doesn't get to argue that call. Get the bat off your shoulder even though that pitch is unhittable

 

[Thumb]

Thank god for defensive replacements.

 

[mhughes0021]

nice pitch count that inning..he can pitch in the 8th.
