JV needs to add another fastball , be it 2-seam or splitter or cutter . His breaking stuff is not good enough for him to get by as a solid pitcher in MLB right now His 93-95 straight fastball isn't good enough either. He needs to add more to the mix
I really hope he has success in sf. It would be painful to see him go out like he did at the end of last year.
JV has old school pride, I would not be shocked to see him go 13-3 with a sub 3 ERA....................I am rooting for him, when I look back I am somehow surprised at how long he was with us, I look at him as a true Astro even though I think he will go into the HOF with a Tiger hat.............but more importantly I will miss this
Justin Verlander accepted a trade to Houston when he didn’t have to. He was the Ace that boosted the Astros into believing they were just as talented as any team in the league. They stoped getting beat by fear and awe in the playoff, and started a dominant playoff stretch that’s been 8 years strong including 4 WS appearances. Thank you Justin.
