    Verlander's 2017 ERA vs. the Indians: 8.14 (in four starts), could be a problem in the AL playoffs...

    However, in his on start this year vs. the Dodgers, he threw 8.0 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 9 Ks

    Considering the prospect cost, even with our recent struggles and JVs recent success, I imagine Detroit has to be chipping in a good portion.

    Very curious on the final details.

    More importantly, very excite!

    How was Rodgers looking in the minors? Last time I heard his name, I wanna say he was struggling.

    only downside is that I don't want that overrated untalented Kate Upton at our games.

    He's had two bad starts and two good starts against Cleveland. But yeah, hopefully a playoff JV is a different animal....hopefully.
