    All we need to do is hit just like this every game in the playoffs. I hope the Astros know this.

    Don't they do pushups in Cuba. Yordan with the strength of Chet Holmgren. 2 missed HRs, not acceptable.

    Verlander will have damn near won 3 Cy Youngs in his 3 full seasons with us. Pay him his $$$ or you're fired.

    I don't he will be that expensive. I'm guessing we were in the 16-19 range in the negotiations this past off season.

    I think we get it done at about 22 million.

    A deal with Verlander is going through Crane, not Click.

    His WHIP is down to an insane 0.83

    Yes he must be signed again.

    3 years 96 million

    And no won't cost anywhere near 40 million.

    So the 2 starts JV missed did in fact cost him his chance at 200 Ks. He would have gotten there (on pace for 187 as it stands now).

    And, he has led the entire Major Leagues in WHIP in all 3 of his full seasons with us. All he does is keep opposing hitters off of the bases.
    Do not overthink this.

    Go JV! Wish he got Bohm so he'd have 10 to start the game.

    Well, thank you Bohm for shaving a few pitches off Justin's pitch count.
