Around The MLB Thread

Anyone else watching Verlander going for 25 on MLB Network?

Now I'm not exactly an expert but it's not looking so hot right now.

Verlander is at 84 pitches entering the fifth inning. He will need to finish up this half-inning and the team will need to score three runs in the bottom of the fifth to get him a win as I don't think he has much more left and it'd be stupid to have him keep going just to get a meaningless W.

Verlander might have just lost eh ERA title though..at 2.44 while Weaver at 2.41

 

[Rice Cube]

Ooooh, quick inning. He might be able to go 6 after all.

 

[Rice Cube]

I guess the Phillies don't really need to win anymore :lol:

Come on Tigers. Get Justin his MVP and show the rest that the AL Central isn't garbage

 

[brett05]

Just missed it

 

[Rice Cube]

Are they sending Verlander out for the 7th? He's got 100 pitches. I wouldn't risk it...

 

[brett05]

Oooh. 100 pitches. He's not that type of weak stud

 

[brett05]

Pitch 108 was 100 mph

 

[Rice Cube]

Oooh. 100 pitches. He's not that type of weak stud

That's not the point. Detroit has clinched and will probably be playing an AL East team. Why risk injury to get a meaningless W?

 

[brett05]

If injury was a concern he wouldn't have pitched at all

 

[brett05]

Come on Mags!

 

[brett05]

Mags you are a ******

 

[Rice Cube]

If injury was a concern he wouldn't have pitched at all

I think he should've been on a more stringent pitch count. Plus if he wanted a win he should've thought about not giving up the two homers :lol:

 

[brett05]

Oh well no 25 game winner. He has the triple crown as krenshaw does (not sure that has ever happened before in both leagues for the same season)

He's my MVP in the AL

He wouldn't be a bad choice for MVP. I think a position player will win it though.

 

[Rice Cube]

At least Verlander won't get a loss. His team should buy him dinner.

Actually Verlander should buy his team dinner. You don't deserve a W if you give up five runs to the fucking Orioles :lol:

 

[Mr. Cub]

Wow Verlander. Dude has won what? Like 13 straight? I told my brother I predict a Tigers vs Phillies World Series. We'll see. I don't feel like Google, so who was the last to win 24+ games?

 

[brett05]

Bob welch I think 1988 or 1989 27 wins
