    Is it just me or is Miranda getting a strike zone the size of a metro bus?

    His gripe with strike 2 was legit. But that last pitch was clearly a strike.

    Fastball at 96, hard slider at 87, filthy curve at 80. Sheesh.

    At the angle of the camera tonight, I'm not even gonna attempt to gripe about pitches. But I will gripe about taking a third strike. Take a swing. You know it's going to be close.

    This is the best offense in baseball. I wouldn't worry about it.

    Mariners making Verlander work for his outs here, already at 40 pitches.

    JV will get through one of these innings at 10-12 pitches and be right back on pace for a nice 6-7 inning outing.

    Damn, Verlander. When I watch him I see McCullers best case - I really hope those two have many long conversations.

    Seems to be a phenomenon. Good pitcher. Hitter slack off. Look at 1986. Ryan got an average of 3.75 run support vs 4.24 for Bob slop thrower Knepper.
