Sunday August 28: Justin Verlander stands between Orioles and another sweep at Minute Maid Park

If Verlander gets a pitch in the same zip code he gets a strike.  This ump sucks.

If he's here by 2024 I will be shocked. I think he's a guy Elias will move this offseason. He's the exact opposite hitter the organization is training.

@Tony-OH does RM even have any value? What sort of team could use his bat if were so ready to get rid of him.

I really don't care about his personality or Kate Upton's presence in the stands, club level, or if she watches from home. I just care about what the dude does on the mound and that is dominate!

Would just love to have one guy we can stick at the top a the rotation and not worry about who our opponent is knowing they are going to have a hard time scratching across runs today.

He's a jerk in every sense. He did everything in his power to try and destroy this season due to his own greed. He cares less about the game, fans or anything other than enrichening himself with the most money he can. He's a turd and I don't want to have to root for him.

An awful lot of ace pitchers are jerks or just weird.  For example, Sale cutting up White Sox jerseys before he got traded.  Clemens throwing splintered bat a Piazza.  Pedro throwing Zimmer on the ground.  Nolan Ryan wasn't the nicest guy.  Randy Johnson was someone a lot of players did not like.  It seems like a lot of ace pitchers have a surly, mean edge.

I'd live with Verlander's personality if it meant seeing Kate Upton in the stands.

Angels jumping on the Blue Jays again, 3-0.

Rays lead the Red Sox, 4-2.

You missed the point.

You said he’s a “jerk in every sense” and didn’t make the point in that post about your feelings based on the lock out. You didn’t make the point.

[Moshagge3]

Nice going, Robinson. 

[Il BuonO]

What is with all the catcher’s interference?

Wanna know his value? Remember Renato Nunez. What’s he up to these days?

Seems like there has been an inordinate amount of catcher's interference this season. I don't remember that occurring that often.

I'm fine with surely guys who perform well. Hell, I rooted from Albert Belle. But he made himself the key voice of the rich, elite players who tried to destroy the negotiations at every turn and for that, I hope he's never an Oriole. I'd rather always root against him, no matter how good he is on the hill.

[tntoriole]

Hmm 6 outs 5 Ks 

Strikeouts are fascist
