Verlander just spoke about this on the Athletic. He was a 120 P guy when he first came up and the era before him was saying why aren't guys throwing 150 P/G. Times change and usually for good reason.

Verlander also threw at 90% the first few innings and didn't get elite spin until he got to the Astros.

3 outs to go..and Cardiac Kimbrel will have to be the man...im anxious...forgive me...

Hyde realizes we gotta play tomorrow too right?

Trots Akin out there when he has absolutely nothing in a tie game after loading the bases, yanks Coulombe after 13 pitches.

Make it make sense.

Yeah, he mentioned that also. 7-year-olds in velocity schools. etc.

He and Scherzer were both in the article, I thought it was well done.

I always marveled at his ability to increase velocity as a game would progress. 

[DirtyBird]

Gotta let Cano finish this one. No reason to use DC, Cano and Kimbrel today with a day game tomorrow 

[Roy Firestone]

could really use another run....

Soroka spares Tony from his 4th K. 

[Roy Firestone]

Have you noticed how many fly balls Cano has given up lately.?...few K's fewer ground balls....
