also the 2-0 to Brantley last inning was a critical call, Paxton may have unraveled if that was properly called a ball.
now Verlander doesn't get a clear 0-2 strike

I guess Hinch didn’t want to shake up his lineup after 3 straight wins, although Reddick has started. Get Josh in there ASAP now.
just took a look at those stats, you are right. dominates in the ALDS but disappears after that, in the WS too
It night not be an issue if there was the normal travel day between Games 5 and 6.
I hope there is no Game 7, but if there is, it's hard to picture Verlander pitching on Sunday -- at least effectively.
That Fox graphic with the fuzzy, doubled images oscillating out and then in on the two opposing players... that's gotta convince someone they've got migraines or some shit. It's not quite up there with the epilepsy-inducing episode of Pokemon, but man, talk about an ill-advised design decision.
Couldn't tell you a damn thing they said during that, nor even who the players were because of how fuzzy it was. I was momentarily struck dumb.
As have the Yankees been since that first inning. Verlander's pitched a hell of a great game, other than that, Mrs. Lincoln...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Derek Lowe start the 7th game of the 2004 ALCS on two days rest? I believe he went six strong for the win. I'm sure Verlander can give them an inning if needed.
that balaclava made Reddick super casual.
Wouldn't mind seeing Verlander take the 8-inning CG, but if you're going to bring in a scrub, now's the time - ~93% win expectancy for the MFY.

Lowe had two days. Verlander would have one. And he's 36, five years older than Lowe was at the time.
In 2001, Randy Johnson put in an inning in Game 7 despite having started Game 6 the previous night. And he was 37. Yeah, sure, he was also in the 3rd year of a run of 4 consecutive cy young awards and is probably one of the best 5 pitchers of all time, but it's not like Verlander is chopped liver.
Career 24.9 BWAR vs. minus a fraction Bailey gave us.
Edit: 1.5 of that WAR was when he was with Boston.
As if Gurriel, who runs like he is Sandy Leon with another clone of Sandy Leon on his back, was going to beat anything but a lazy throw there.
