Roids.

I don't think so....but I guess you never know anymore.

Geez.

If Verlander doesn't come back out for the sixth, it would end his streak of going 6+ IP at 45 straight games, dating back to Aug. 22, 2010

He'll be out. He already brushed Leyland off in the dugout.

They have been throwing you a high first pitch all night young because they know you like to jump on the first pitch, kriced sakes lay off it, gresssh!

 

[bdtay1971]

Jesus DY no patience

This is definintely something I miss about V-mart. One of very few players on this team that knows how to work a count and does it consistently.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Outside the PC, great game for Verlander.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Game Cast strike zone must be way off.

Nice Inning JV!!!!!

 

[Mitchrapp]

Way to finish it.

JV will probably start the 7th.

He's done.

115 pitches after throwing 131 last time.

Yup you have to take a pitch or two... NF was walking batters and he may have thrown a wild pitch..

Nobody is up in the bullpen

Justin Verlander has 7+ strikeouts in first 4 starts. Joins Mickey Lolich (5 in '70) and Hal Newhouser (4 in '46) as only Tigers to do since '18.

I think people really need to stop looking at the pitch count when it comes to JV. It's meaningless. He is a freak. He routinely throws multiple 100 mph pitches in the 9th inning. Then he comes back on his next start and does it again...and again on the next start, etc. He's old school.

I'd like to see him pitch the 7th and then Benoit and Valverde to close it.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Too quick..

 

[biggunsbob]

Dotel was up and throwing... 93rd pitcher it pitch 700 games

 

[Mitchrapp]

Texas has been fouling a shit load of pitches off..
