Justin Verlander doing something special

[nevadaO]

Through 8 innings.

Kate Upton doesn't think so.

Is it really special if it is Verlander doing it?

I mean it is the Pirates.

I honestly expect him to throw one a season.

I guess not?

I know bunting to break up a no-hitter is taboo, but let's say your team is down 1-0 in the ninth and a no hitter is going on. Do you bunt for a baserunner? I mean, you want to win the game, right?

[nevadaO]

He loses it after 8.1 innings. Guess it wasn't that special after all.

1-0 you do what you need to do to win the game.

1-0 you do what you need to do to win the game.

It happened not that long ago, didn't it? Close game and someone bunted late. Everyone screamed about it but I didn't have an issue with it.

I don't recall specifics. I don't think it was a one run game.

I have a hunch about this Justin Verlander guy. I think he's gonna be pretty good someday.

I don't recall specifics. I don't think it was a one run game.

I just looked it up. It was SD vs. Arizona in 2001 and Ben Davis bunted in the 8th inning against Schilling. Of course Arizona cried about it but the score was 2-0 at the time.

Absolutely.

If you're down 6-0 it is unnecessary, and makes you look bad, but it is never against any rule.

Bad name. No chance.

[nevadaO]

Bad name. No chance.

But is he on Detroit's holiday calendar?

[Barnaby Graves]

Bad name. No chance.

I ALMOST registered to tell that guy how crazy he was.

Speaking of which it's cool Hayden landed on his feet in Japan.
