    Thanks Stanek. Never has a clean inning.

    Siri (yes I know he was traded) would have caught that for sure. Maybe Jake or Chas. Dubon isn't a terrible CF but he's a natural infielder and it shows at times.

    He had a perfect game through 6! I know he’s 40 and TJ and everything but come on that’s a once in a lifetime a achievement!

    That's interesting. He looked great. Unlike him to take himself out of a game like this. Hope the team can close this out with a win.

    Technically, he allowed one runner due to a passed/wild third strike.

    Near zero chance at 91 pitches and no doubt Verlander had the final decision on coming out after 7.

    This is the problem
    With baseball these days it’s so driven by analytics.

    sometimes you have to just let the players play.

    He might not have put up an argument but being the competitor that he is I bet he wanted to stay.

    He absolutely owns the twins going back to his Detroit days. This was a golden opportunity to make history.

    It wasn't a perfect game, and he already has 3 no-hitters in his career.

    You want him to throw 130 or 140 pitches? What if the end result is he wears down by the World Series, as he did in both 2019 and 2021. He has 3 no-hitters. He's has yet to win a World Series game - I suspect the latter is more important to him.

    Scoreless innings with one soft hit are woes? I hope those woes continue.
