  1. Justin Verlander wound up giving up 5 runs altogether. I was looking at his pitches. Their speeds were fine. He placed an abundance of them inside of the strike zone. I don't think he meant to do that, exactly.

    While I have you here, velocity is speed + direction. It is a vector, not a scalar. When baseball people speak of a pitcher's velocity, they typically mean the scalar "speed of the pitch."

    His general velocity sucked, not because he couldn't hurl a large marble fast enough, but because he wasn't placing the marble around the strike zone very well, and he got hit today, big-time.

    He's a #5 starting pitcher now, with a mid-to-high-4's ERA. Aka, his good stuff is inconsistent.

    Giants have left too many runners in scoring position & fail again to score a runner from 2nd in the top of the 5th &, of course, #Verlander gives up a solo HR in the bottom of the 5th to allow the #Angels to tie the game at 1 going into the top of the 6th with the Giants coming up to bat again. 🙄

    Oh well . . . this is Verlander's best start so far this season but he can't get the win unless the Giants score more runs & they're running out of innings. 😐

    Let's go Giants!!!! 🥳🥳🥳

  3. Seeing a lot about the #Mets spending spree, as if they're the new kings of #NewYork excess. Probably worth mentioning that the combined overall value of their contracts for #Verlander #Robertson #Nimmo #Quintana and #Senga is narrowly less than the #Yankees are paying #AaronJudge over the life of his deal. Yes, that Mets money is front-loaded, but the urgency to win a #WorldSeries now demands it.

  4. @Ricardus @MLBStatNerd no luck on Degrom but hopefully they respond quickly with verlander or rodon. #degrom #verlander #rodon

  5. @kennyherzog @MarkStein agreed but the pressure is now on to sign #verlander or #rodon. Are the Mets going to resign #bassitt? What’s plan c or d? Quintana?

  10. @jonweisman I don’t know. #miguelvargas is ready. They have Taylor and Muncy for 3b in a pinch. I could see it if they don’t get #degrom or #verlander and feel like they have money to burn tho. #dodgers #baseball @baseball #mlb
