    Verlander becomes the 18th pitcher in MLB History to open 10 seasons.

    Luhnow & Hinch said "screw your uppercut swing, Gallo, how about a rover then?" They've said it's something they'll use against certain guys like Gallo.

    PbP reads "popout to 3B".

    Its genius. Pull hitters who get pitched high/away and attempt to go the other way with it (to beat the shift) will pop it up to the 4th outfielder just like that.

    Basically, giving him the bunt as the only option to beat the shift.

    Correa has an 80 arm. Just insane.

    Verlander isn't sharp at all so far.

    JV is sitting 94-96. That's the only thing I really wanted to take notice of today.

    Hmmm....I'm not sure why Gallo even decided to grab that. It was clearly rolling foul. Lol oh well.

    Why didn't they appeal that? Looked like he clearly tagged him.
