    JV seems to have lost a bit of command this inning. Just get this guy and regroup.

    Nice job from Verlander, even though he technically needed four outs to complete the inning

    Teoscar Hernandez would sure look good with Springer and Reddick. He’s turned out to be a very good player for Toronto.

    Yeah Laz Diaz sure jacked his pitch count up. I think the 5 run inning kind of messed JV up having to sit in the dugout so long.

    Strike 3 to Reddick didn't look like a strike.

    Let's get a couple on, so JV can rest. He had a 25-pitch inning.


    Eta- or, get nobody on. JV might still have a quick inning though... a quickie.

    I think actually he will be fine after a relatively quick inning. That extended layoff got to him I think. He didn’t seem to have the location he had in the prior inning.

    Verlander surrenders walks and a hit before the 7th..... Colon is somewhere laughing.

    Kind of got a little lucky in that run down.

    Verlander's control has been off these last 2 innings.

    My guess is he thinks JV balked.

    So in his regular season as a Houston Astro Verlander in about 1/3 a season has an era of 1.10 and is 7-0.

    In the playoffs last year he was 4-1 for the Astros.

    Think that trade worked out well? I believe Detroit is still paying part of his salary too.
