GST: Stros @ Jays... Aug 30 - Sept 1

[Boxcar]

Right gown the middle missed it.

 

Good pitchers throw balls down the middle all the time. Their ability to get swinging strikes within the zone is why they are able to keep those walk totals so low.

From behind his little bubble of protection. What a brave little bitch.

Old school starters like Verlander are so much more fun to watch than all the opener BS around the league. You know when you give him the ball you have a great chance of winning and that he will go deep into the game (umpiring permitting). Glad to see pitchers like him still exist.

Agreed 100%

[Spanky99]

At least if the Jays are gonna get no hit, it'll be from an absolutely dominating performance by one of the best pitchers in our generation.

 

Not some lucky James Paxton style ********.

 

That's twice by JV.

That’s not a fair comparison though. An opener isn’t taking the start of an ace, he’s taking the start of a back of the rotation starter. Obviously Verlander is more fun to watch than say Clay Buchholtz.

The astros rape us on the constant now both on and off the field

[DigitalRock]

Lol. Like about 10000 others off of verlander at 96 when you have to respect his other filth. Well we just saw more history from one of the best I’ll ever see.

 

Ya don't say captain obvious...I never said otherwise rain man

No s***..

[Abomination]

Damn, wish I hadn't missed this game. I remember Verlander's last no hitter against us. It was magical in the 8th and 9th innings when he was averaging triple digits.

[Jaysareus]

At least one bunt should have been attempted

I thought Biggio would have. His dad would have done it.

Good on Verlander for reviving his career from a few years ago, I guess that’s what the great pitchers do once the velocity isn’t quite there anymore.

Summoning their inner Lenny Randle of course.

Except that in Verlander's case, the fastball velocity hasn't really gone anywhere.
