Hard to defend this. He was even bad with the Tigers in his prime. He's been bad this post-season outside of that game vs the Yankees who have an anemic offense anyway..but even that game he looked shaky.
Hey...they will gladly walk Gurriel to get to the next guy all series long...until that 7 hole produces.
because I'm pissed the astros lost and think "realist" fans who try to act like they were the only voice of reason leading up to the series sound pretty stupid when the majority fans respected the phillies and are afraid of the NL east in 2019, astros fans underestimated the nationals hot streak and were arrogant going into that series. in 2021, most had ptsd from 2019 but still felt that was a fluke and the astros would win especially after the halloween game. completely different story in 2022. we've been here before...
Hope this is the last time we see Verlander playing in a Astros uniform. Sit this choking a$$ clown out the rest of the series.
