Justin Verlander has the dirtiest stuff in the MLB. So nasty

 

[Adr1an]

C'mon Santos close the game out.

 

[suEcide]

Come on Santos, live to the hype...

 

[McNei1y]

I'm in love with Strasburg

 

[jman2050]

Why is Strasburg so awesome?

 

[Doytch]

Slidepiece mufucka.

[Fuck the Chicken Littles]

 

[BigJonsson]

SANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS!

 

[The Elite]

Jays live look in on my iPhone is delayed.

I'm stressing here.

edit: Glad to hear they won!

 

[Fenix]

I don't understand, doesn't Santos suck?!?!

 

[Doytch]

RR Cool Jay pitched like a man, but goddamn the Jays got lucky/made the most of their opps.

Romero: 8.2IP 3H, 2BB, 5K, 1R
Lester: 8IP, 3H, 2BB, 6K, 3R

 

[ActStriker]

Well, the Sox's home opener is gonna be interesting

 

[The Elite]

Jays are a bit of an enigma right now. Their hitting isn't lighting the scoreboard but they're clutch which counts for something. When the bats get going things should get really exciting. Would have loved the sweep but 2 out of 3 isn't something to complain about. Especially against the Red Sox.

Something something Small Sample Size something something.

But nah, the Jays should be a very good team this year, even if they ultimately don't hang with the big three.

I disagree.

He's filthy, but I think you're forgetting a guy who happens to be pitching right now.

I disagree.

Beaten.

 

[Doytch]

All I want is fun, entertaining baseball from the Jays. I don't think they're there yet, that'll be 2013+, but we're looking good on the entertainment front so far, even though entertainment/game doesn't stabilise until after 90 games.

e: I really hate that the Natinals/Orioles have Raleigh as part of their territory. MASN isn't carried here, and so I miss some Jays/Strasburg games.

 

[jman2050]

I disagree.

The two offspeed pitches he threw to Davis in the first today were just unfair.

 

[turnbuckle]

I'm watching the Nats game while listening to the Tigers game. That's because of MLB's shitty blackout rules, but I'm not complaining too much today. Strasburg is fun as hell to watch.

 

[goldlion054]

I disagree.

I havn't really watched Strasburg pitch yet =( I wanted to watch him today, but the Tigers come first. And I am completely and utterly bias.

 

[Malo]

I disagree.

I agree with this.

 

[McNei1y]

He's crushing souls today with his pitches. His curve and 2 seamer are oustanding.

 

[Square Triangle]

With the way JV pitches, if he doesn't get a no hitter it's disappointing.

 

[Sanjuro]

Tonight is the night. I challenge Texas and their two-foot-long hot dog. Wish me luck!

Man, you're missing out. I love my Tigers and I'd take Verlander over Strasburg right now, but Stras has a certain nastiness that almost brings a tear to my eye. Verlander's fucking amazing too and has been nearly perfect so far this year.

 

[McNei1y]

Are you going to put ketchup on it Sanj?

Don't forget the ketchup!

 

[BFIB]

Hard to see the radar gun, but did that say 91, or 81MPH?

I'll be disappointed if he doesn't put up a perfect game in his career. He's shown much better command of his pitches the last year+ and seems to control his emotions a bit more now too. He looks less pissed and more is more focused and determined.

 

[jman2050]

Verlander is what Strasburg can ultimately become and even surpass. You can tell watching him pitch, he's just THAT talented.

No doubt in my mind.

I think a no-no or perfect game is within reason this year. The AL central is so weak this year and our interleague match ups include the Pirates and Cubbies. If he manages to keep this pace up, no reason we shouldn't expect it sooner or later

and he threw a 96 mph fastballl in the 9th. mmmmmmmmmmm

 

[Malo]

Strasburg has never really thrown 100 pitches before? The nats are babying him hard.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Fuck yea Davis! First hit of the season. Bay plz man come thru!!

 

[jman2050]

He did just have tommy john surgery, so it's not like the Nats are just being paranoid.

I understand that I'm just surprised he never got to 100 before the surgery.

 

[Redux]

Well it was nice to actually watch baseball today. Snow outs suck as much as the Indians.

 

[jman2050]

It's easy to forget with all the time he's missed but this is only the 19th start of his career.

Also no way was that a strike.

 

[Malo]

YOTU

 

[McNei1y]

I understand that I'm just surprised he never got to 100 before the surgery.

He got into some pretty shotty situations in his first few games. I feel like another reason is because of our lack of offense. He's been put in so many pressure situations.

and the ump struck again :lol

 

[Enron]

hahhahaa that wasn't even close to the plate. YOTU

 

[darkside31337]

Whoo Rays got a run. What an exciting finish.

Please bring in Valverde.

 

[goldlion054]

ruh-roh. Implosion incoming

fuckkkkk

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Fuck the ump man horrible strike zone.wtf at those calls. Get rid of all these fucking geezers and get young ppl that can actually see!

My favorite Verlander superhuman feat was a couple years ago where he hit 101 or 102 on about the 120th pitch of a game.

Things are getting scary now...

 

[LJ11]

Zone has been dog shit all game, keeps moving.

 

[jman2050]

Verlander allows a run. Stras > JV confirmed.

 

[darkside31337]

YES!

Longo so good.

(or lucky)

 

[Meohsix]

longo ties it!

It's been absolutely awful. The crew this series has been so bad.

 

[Malo]

Verlander is terrible!
