In 10 games that Verlander pitched, he gave up 3 runs in 7 games. The other 3 games was the no hitter, a 1 ER, and a 2 ER..

This guy is GOOD, but he is NO ACE.

7 games with 3 ER's... I want 7 games of 1 ER..

There are only a coupel guys that do that a year brother. They do not grow on trees..
Could be worse they could have spent 100mil on Cliff Lee

Jeez....OKC is getting murdered

[Ground Support]

All I got to say, they are paying Verlander near 13 mil this year, and the guy who is making 600k is pitching better then he is.

His name is Max Scherzer..

They should trade Verlander, and get a couple more guys like Scherzer.. For 13 mil a year, I want an ERA around 1.0

Fire Leyland, get rid of Perry, Thomas, Villarreal, now, call up Oliver, have him and Furbush as the long guys..

This is getting silly, the bullpen is giving the team no chance to win EVERY day now..What can you do when your bullpen gives up 6 runs per 9 innings?

The thing is Sherzer is having a decent year up to this point but no way you trade Verlander for another Scherzer type.. IMO..

Scherzer hasnt pitched better, I think Scherzer is great, but he's not pitching better than Verlander..He has more outings

Your expectations are unrealistic..I guess what Felix Hernandez does wont be ok? or Lincecum? Halladay? Sabathia? Just a few guys

[wheeler281]

also no way you fire Leyland either. That is silly talk

No, he's just a great #2 in general lol

But your nuts if you'd trade Verlander for Scherzer type of talent..You don't trade a guy like Verlander..ever

[gladdyontherise]

[wheeler281]

He makes 3mil more then Roy Halladay..

What a joke.

Regardless fans can't worry about that...

[gladdyontherise]

Thunder should bench Westbrook again, they might play better..they're gonna have to trade him, no way he'll co-exsist with Durant..his reaction on the bench for game 2 (assuming what they showed was him in the 4th quarter) is ridiculous..

[Ground Support]

lol I was looking at the Roy Halladay below..

[wheeler281]

Josh are you a venting tigers fan?
