He looks like he put on weight? Maybe that is altering his mechanics

And maybe it is good for her, but she still looks and acts like she is in college. She is definitely attractive, but I feel like he could easily do better and get someone more matrue.

I heard today the Pirates have like a 1.7% chance of making the playoffs now. I am going to assume that they just want him to work out his issues on the mound and get though the rest of the season healthy.

If you need rest after 130 innings it might be time to go finish that senior year of college. Maybe Major League baseball isn't for you.

Downvotes or whatever, but I personally couldn’t deal with trying to keep up with her lifestyle and be the best baseball player I can be.

You're suggesting a 20-something white girl social media influencer craves attention? Don't go out on a limb there.

She makes a very lucrative living as a social media influencer. Do you not see that? She's leveraging her career as a collegiate gymnast into one making seven figures a year, while in her twenties. That isn't going to last, I'm guessing she knows this, and she'd be stupid not to do this for as long as she can. And to her credit, she seems to be pulling this off without being a slag about it.

That said, there are plenty of hard throwers who never had arm issues. Pedro never did. Clemens never did. Nolan Ryan never did until his last pitch when he was like 44 years old. Randy Johnson never did until his last season in baseball when he was 45. Aroldis Chapman never had any major injuries to his arm. Verlander didn't have any issues until he was almost 40 years old.


Lefty Carlton over 30 starts from age 22 (28 starts/30 appearances) to 39 with sub 3.50 era all but a couple of years and 200+ IP in all but 2 years with a majority over 250 IP.

If you don't care that's great. Just don't click on the thread. It's not like it's a surprise thread. The title makes the content of the thread very obvious. Just move along

Maybe they pulled him to keep his pitch count down across the season.


And he had zero run support, again

She very CLEARLY wants to live a different lifestyle than him. She loves to see and be seen. Case in point the baywatch thing, white parties etc. That’s not his lifestyle, they worked for a season and I think that season is over. She just seems like the type to crave attention from powerful people and all the while he’s on a road trip for MLB. That’s a recipe for disaster.

It’s kinda laughable to say the velo is down at 96 but when the velo is down it’s never a good sign.

Do you think you'd know who she was if she wasn't a college gymnast?

To you maybe.

Verlander had 10 seasons pitching 200+IP by age 34. 238, 240, 251IP seasons.

Skenes over/under on his first pitch was usually 98mph on FanDuel his rookie season.
