    vs. Pittsburgh. 2BB, 9K, 82 pitches

    This would be his third.

    I love this new era baseball is entering, seems like another era of the pitcher. Maybe they will adjust the mount height again. :p

    Struck out the side in the 8th. All of his fastballs at 97 or above.

    I'd still consider Roy Halladay as part of Verlander's generation, so it would have to be Roy.

    Toss-up between him and Felix and this point. Lincecum is in the discussion too I guess...

    Seems like he does this or flirts with this more times than not. In recent seasons anyways.

    Last year and this year obviously have been the elite of the elite, but before that he wasn't the best in baseball. From 2007 through 2010, Sabathia was the better pitcher.

    We really are in a period right now of elite pitching.
