    Justin Verlander Struggles in Tigers 5-1 Loss

    The Detroit Tigers lost to the New York Yankees today 5-1.

    The Tigers decided to take the day off and didn't show up it seemed. The only run came from a Prince Fielder solo home run; It's his 9th of the season.

    Justin Verlander made the start today and struggled all day with his command. He pitched 6 and 1/3 innings giving up 5 runs (3 earned) on 9 hits, walking 4 and striking out 4 batters. Of the 114 pitches he threw, only 66 were strikes.

    Duane Below and Brayan Villarreal combined to pitch 2 and 2/3 scoreless innings in relief.

    The Tigers have an off day tommorrow, but open up a 3 game home series with the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday as Drew Smyly (2-1 3.46 ERA) takes on Ubaldo Jimenez (5-4 5.79 ERA).

        It's looking like Verlander WILL NOT win consecutive Cy Young awards. Hopefully his season will improve.

        The main items Im looking to trade for are
        Baseball HOFers Autos I need
        Orioles Autos I need
        Baseball HOFers GU I need
        Orioles GU I need
        Vintage Orioles I need 1950s through 1970
        However other offers will be considered

          Just my opinion, but seems like a huge overreaction.

          He's still having a great season, being 1st in innings pitched, strikeouts, and complete games. 3rd in WHIP, 4th in BAA, and 5th in ERA.

          Plus, it's June 4th

            Nobody wants to lead the most innings pitched usually that just means he is being worn out too fast. I say trade him to fill holes that are needed to be filled

                However they do not have may holes just are not hitting. Plus Verlanders are not grown on tress

                  Still a lot of the season left for Verlander and he needs to pitch a little less so he doesn't get burn out. He is a good pitcher and his team does need to get him some scoring!
                  I collect mainly football these days, Maurice Jones Drew, Joe Flacco, Matt Forte, DeMarco Murray, Patrick Willis, Emmitt Smith and 1974 Topps. Baseball Derek Jeter. Basketball Kevin Garnett. Non Sports James Bond, Star Wars, Tomb Raider.
