And I'm telling you he is not going to automatically start no matter what. He is 42 and needs to pitch well.

Am I saying he's not favored to start because of everything you mentioned? No. Am I saying that he is not going to start when 4 other guys are clearly pitching better than him with better stuff? Yes.

Note: I wouldn't be saying it if Smoky McPot were still the manager.

I agree with Shane.


And sometimes I think we give Dubon way too much shite on here…

Seems like people want Verlander to start no matter what. That's short-sighted, at best.

I don’t WANT him to but I’m pretty sure he will.

ETA- maybe that gets Chas a little confidence and gets him going.

And damn, that’s 10 runs. We know what’s coming tomorrow.

I am not saying I see it any differently. I am saying that he's a 42 year old coming off yet another injury layoff. He needs to earn it down the stretch.

As of right now, I'd rather have the kid throwing a gem for us today out there in a must win game over JV.

Pasta Jambalaya made a good run at a no-no.

Schmo Espada benches the starters with a no hitter going on and the replacement immediately botches it. What a dick.

No matter what, this staff is in the best shape it's been all year. If there aren't injuries in the next month they should be able to use some of the extra starters as real weapons out of the pen in October.

The non Abreu/Pressly bullpen arms have been pretty good lately too

We obviously need to keep painting the batter's eye different shades of green until we get it right.

4-4 with 3 home runs and a walk, and he’s still not my player of the game. Maybe co-player.

Looks like I was a day off on yesterday’s 10-0 prediction

Now if someone would cut a league average 1B before the end of the month, we'd be set.
