Intesting game tomorrow, hopefully the Tigers take over first place tomorrow and put Minnesota in its place!
He has got his stuff going for him today. Hopefully he can go the complete game!
His curveball looked like it was rolling off a table. This is what they payed $80M for. Got to like the last week, beat up on two playoff teams! Good job boys!
Verlander "pitched" an outstanding game yesterday and I agree with Jack...JV will be awesome once he fine-tunes his skills at pitching. And the art of pitching will serve him well over his career...just look at how well Jim Palmer performed and how long he lasted after the zing in his fastball was gone.I'll agree with that. Yesterday was Verlander "pitching". This kid has some more natural talent than any Tiger pitcher I ever remember, he hit 99 on the gun in the 9th inning! While he didn't look physically tired in the 9th, he appeared to be mentally tired. It was just the look on his face, you could see he was mentally spent.
Lets hope the Tigers can keep this up. The schedule has been absolutely brutal. 11 game road swing, (longest of the season), all part of 20 games without a day off. Now the Twins, and then NY and Boston. I sure hope the second half of the season is kinder to them.
It was intresting, they had a interview with old number 47, Jack Morris at the start of the game I think and he said that once he (JV) learns "how to pitch, he can be unhittable" He was saying that JV still "Throws" the ball more then "Pitches"
I predict another Tigers sweep,
hee hee. I think you might have meant a Twins sweep
In case you missed it.
Ernie Harwell passed away today .... maybe moments ago, just came in on FSN Detroit.
RIP Ernie,
You'll be missed ...
