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.
So here's pitch 5 to Moncada and then LOLaz comes back and calls some garbage for strike 3 on Reddick
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.
