    What is Dusty thinking with (probably) pulling Verlander with 60 pitches after 3? And having the bullpen go 5?

    Like, sure, save his arm. But you don't want him to at least try and give you 5?

    Hope not. Hadn't heard anything on the broadcast, unless I missed it.

    They still haven't said if JV got hurt... holding our collective breath

    Wow - Verlander is out. Scrapping the six man rotation has been an unmitigated disaster. Could still work out in the long run, I suppose. Get Martinez some quality work.

    What a waste of a leadoff double

    You went straight to Dusty on this? If Verlander is out after three there’s almost zero chance it’s because Dusty made a call to take him out.

    Could they have planned a short outing? JV was really bearing down for strikeouts in the first, pitching like it was the seventh.

    The Orioles about to get some runs. I don’t think we have more than 1 run in us today.

    This is bad. There is no other way to view this.

    Sports is the only time I hope someone has violent diarrhea (as opposed to a bad injury that explains them coming out of a game).

    Someone said apparently leg discomfort. Guy who tweeted it seems like he's a fan and not in the media or anything so not sure where he got the info. Probably guessing but hopefully he's right.

    I really like Seth Martinez and am rooting for him to carve a long-term role on this team.
