Verlander out for the season

Now they are backtracking and saying he is not out for the season.
 
Justin Verlander @JustinVerlander
The report that I?m currently missing the rest of the season is not accurate. There is a forearm strain... I?m hopeful that with some rest it will heal and I?ll be able to return soon. Thank you for all the well wishes.

In Verlander's case, he has already defied Father Time, throwing more than 50,000 pitches in his career -- many of them at 100 mph or close to it.
It's pretty remarkable that he has had just one previous stint on the injured list (in 2015, for a strained triceps). Over the past two seasons, he has thrown 7,762 pitches, including in the playoffs, easily the most in MLB.
Former teammate Cole, with 7,358 pitches, is the only other pitcher with more than 6,900 pitches thrown.
 
Every player in the MLB should miss this season. There should be no MLB season, because this isn't an MLB season. It's a contrivance of games, performed before the cover of St. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, probably rife with Paul is Dead clues.
