    Damn...Brantley just missed that.

    ****tard Pierzynski just said one of the dumbest things I've ever heard, paraphrasing: Brantley likes to control the speed of the ABs (because he's patient and takes pitches) but Glasnow's velocity is going to make him speed up.

    Springer and Brantley both with good swings. This guy is a pure fastball pitcher. I like our chances at hitting a couple out on this guy before he’s done.

    At 6'8" Glasnow reminds me of that monster at the beginning of the movie "Troy"...just waiting for the bottom of the 2nd when Bregman Achilles his ass!

    Interesting take by AJ on the “flinching” of the ump causing missed calls

    After the weird start Verlander looks on his game and in command of his pitches.

    I didn’t say he wasn’t good, but he is heavily reliant on the fastball, which plays right into our hands.

    Unfortunately, it's possible that by the time we get him timed and figured out he'll be out of the game and we get to deal with their stupid good bullpen.

    Not if you believe the stats on hitting vs. high velocity
