    Pretty perfect game to take a three year old to. Was over before he got too bored and got to see a couple homers. Thanks @UTPhil2006 for the suggestion about the first game certificate, had plenty of

    I’m just glad I survived another season of being the official thread starter. Thank you all for your continued support in this emotional time.   In more ways than one with tonight’s result:

It sucks that you have to "make a run" at a lifetime Astro.

I would like to thank Disney and Directv for being bitches and not having an agreement because I was too lazy to find a stream and did not see one pitch tonight

The Astros are going back to a six-man rotation after Monday’s off day, Joe Espada said. They’ll throw Spencer Arrighetti on Tuesday against the A’s followed by Hunter Brown on Wednesday and Framber Valdez on Thursday

Also for the 3rd start in a row....

quit catching Diaz with JV....is that the biggest problem probably not, but it ain't helping 

the one start he had since he has been back where he didn't completely suck was Caratini

I think the biggest problem is Verlander is old and sucks now.

He told the announcers he had "found" something in his bullpen before the start and then gave up 8 runs.

he was tipping last night

dback batters were talking a lot 

If by “tipping”, you mean throwing meatballs belt night, down the middle of the plate, then sure.

Verlander’s 4 seamers is straight and an arrow.

If he’s throwing mid 90’s and not able to locate it up in the zone or locate it on the corners, he gets shallacked. …. I mean kind of a no fucking duh, but he doesn’t have any movement to bail out a bad offering. He’s also not blowing guys away anymore like a 25 year old. 
If he wants to stick around a couple more years he’s going to have to ‘pitch’ a lot more and ‘throw’ a lot less.

His breaking stuff has never been super nasty either, so leaning on that isn't going to help a whole lot.  He absolutely has to stop trying to overpower people with fastballs though.  Even if his control is good, 93-94 mph fastballs up and above the zone are still gonna get hammered with regularity.

He needs to talk with Eddie Harris.

Just remember that with umps nowadays he can just put a little jalapeño up his nose to get it running and load up the ball.

He needs to go spend some time with Greinke

Maybe Kate can vab his glove before his next start. 

I had to google Vab.

What won’t you crazy kids try?

I’ve got a meeting so can’t check on this, but I was under the impression he had a ++slider, a +curve and a neutral change.

I believe John Rocker just rolled over in his grave knowing he shares a last name with a guy named Kumar

JV's 94 heat 6 inches above the zone still could work. But only if Yainer is batting, not catching.

I mean he is still alive so I doubt it

I do like to chuckle imagining all the side eye John gets at the Klan meetings when Kumar is mentioned.
