    Generally speaking, workhorse starting pitchers are good to about 115-120 pitches if they're throwing well. Tonight, given the spot, Verlander will be on the mound until he is no longer effective or until his arm falls off.

    Come on Tuve, and Correa, you got to get the offense going.

    Pitch count matters regarding fatigue. Game is likely over if they can't get JV over 110 pitches through 9.

    Hill is a lefty, CB is a switch hitting lefty, not a great match up, you’ll see him pinch hit

    minor offensive upgrade (honestly could be the same) and MAJOR defensive downgrade...better option is maybin.

    Unless he feels like throwing another 125. Whatever it takes.

    Reddick has been such a disappointment; he could have blown the game open; strikes out.

    I would have loved for maybin to get the start today but not that worked up over the bases loaded screw up. That's was perfectly designed for nl rules. Add to that dodgers manager thinks he's bo Porter with so many pitching changes.
