    If he gets through the hardest part of the order and gives up one solo shot and that's it, they'd be idiotic to just pull him after one.

    I'm inclined to think the Phillies knew fastballs were coming this time and that was the game plan. I'm happy that was a leadoff HR and only tied the game. Gives JV a chance to see their strategy right off the bat.

    Smoltz is now calling out bad calls by the ump?

    JV can’t help the HPU missing strike calls

    Guidance to replace JV

    1. He gives up a 2 run HR = replace
    2. He puts 2 on with 1 out or less = replace
    3. He puts the bases loaded with 2 outs = replace
    4. He gives up a solo shot = 50/50 replace

    They weren't calling any of the shitty obvious calls by the ump in game 3. **** these guys.

    This UMP is not consistent so far…

    Verlander lucky with that last one ... Glad that was at Alveraz. Hard contact.

    Instead of focusing on JV giving up a solo HR to a good hitter we should be more pissed at Yordan for that **** AB

    JV is ****ing ass man.
    Stop pitching like a b**** when it matters the most.

    ****ing Framber and Javier have him looking like a middle rotation guy.

    Yeah. That was pretty bad high ball swing.
