    Verlander hasn't had a great post season. He had one win. Looked bad on short rest. A no decision and one of his worst starts of his career tonight. Wonder if this is age catching up to him..

    Home plate umpire is not a professional umpire

    That is all

    Brantley got proper ****ed on that 2-0 pitch. Changed the whole AB, the whole inning maybe.

    There are so much scouting and info out there. It's possible they've picked up on a tendency that Bregs has and so in a way he is tipping his hitting.

    Paxton is a real good pitcher with great stuff. This isn’t a shocking outcome. What’s more surprising is the 4 spot Verlander gave up. Hopefully we can feast on their bullpen.

    I’ll take the blame. I have no dvr’d a game since game 1. Decided to tonight. I am going to stop the dvr now. Let the comeback begin

    That no decision was 7 innings 2ER coming off of 1 hr by judge.

    Since we re-acquired him, Maldonado has caught every one of Cole's starts, iirc.

    Hmm. The closed caption folks might be guessing, but it’s as good as anything else I guess. I’ll accept it. Well done.

    I still haven’t heard from Smoltz whether or not that a comeback is possible by the Astros......

    Paxton is pitching his ass off tonight. He carved up Springer last inning like he was a Xmas ham.

    Verlander looks fantastic outside of the 1st.
