I’ve been a life long fan of the Astros and I will admit I am a huge fan of Verlander. He’s not the same pitcher he was even 2 years ago. You honestly hate to see it.
How many games are we going to flush while Verlander does his rehab in the Majors ? He needs to be in AAA and definitely should not be on the playoff roster.
JV will be an Astros legend but I think it’s time to face the music in he shouldn’t be in the starting playoff rotation he just been awful maybe Father Time is catching up to him. He would have to go to the bullpen if the Astros don’t want to start Spencer because he a rookie. Then they need to give the spot to Blanco and have JV piggy back him because as we know Blanco has pitched more then he has ever had in his career and you don’t know when his arm is going to run out of gas
Verlander is done. He just doesn't have it anymore. Nothing could be more blatantly obvious. I don't see how the Astrps could possibly start him in a playoff game with Amy expectation to win.
Verlander can not be allowed to start in the post season just because of past performance. Honestly I am not sure he should be allowed to start again this season. Shut him down and he can find another team next year.
It's very frustrating. Espada has thrown away 2 games this week by letting Arrighetti and Verlander give up all those runs in the 1st inning. At that point, with that many runs given up, the games are practically over!!! I don't care who Verlander was, the team needs to win games now, not give them away!!! The mariners and the rangers are creeping up with still too many games left!!! Espada Cannot put that kind of pressure on the rest of the team!!!
Right here Disney and DirectTV is having a contract dispute so we can’t get access to espn channels or any other channels own by Disney until they agree to a new deal
I remember @ the start of the season people were wanting Framber traded & Hunter Brown sent to down to Sugarland. It took a while for them to right the ship. Verlander might be in the same situation, but I don’t think now is the time to see when Verlander finds his groove. It’s too late in the season. Hope Verlander comes out of it quick. Espada needs to take Verlander out before the game gets too far out of hand. Sometimes I think Espada is intimidated by Verlander, or maybe it’s respect for a future hall of famer.
Nah you are right. Espada is intimidated by Verlander. The start before this one when Espada came out to pull Verlander out in 4 2/3. He covered his mouth and Espada turned back around and heard to the dugout.
I like Verlander, seems like good people. But that first game he lost in the World Series would have been his last as an Astro. I'm glad they pulled out the win for him in the 'second chance' game they let him pitch that series - but with so many good pitchers he shouldn't have gotten the opportunity. Unless he demonstrates some kind of super resurgence of ability by years end - don't include him on the roster for the post season
1) Verlander has been getting beat up since he came back... 2) We are in the stretch run and Seattle is in hot pursuit. 3) We are losing every game he is on the mound... As a result, Verlander cannot start another game for the Astros... We cant afford to basically keep giving games away while he tries to figure it out...
Keep throwing JV in the rotation until the end of the season. Keep Blanco in the bullpen for longer to rest up. This way he can start in the postseason while JV comes out of the bullpen.
People keep talking about how we are still ahead of the Mariners, but...I have forgotten the Mariners and want to get ahead of the Guardians, Yankees, and Orioles. Still concerned about the Mariners, but our position in relation to the Mariners isn't all I care about.
I despise people booing him at MMP, but JV shouldn't be pitching. I found this game frustrating because I want to pass the Guardians, and maybe the Orioles and Yankees.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. Why do we continue starting him, option him down to the minor leagues and if he works our his mechanics, bring him back.
JV has a huge ego, deservedly so. but I don't think it's so big that if he still hasn't got it figured out come playoff time, he'd be the first one to do what's best for the team and excuse himself because of neck stiffness.
I was at this game…..
….unfortunately 😟

Justin Verlander.
Brought to you by Draft Kings.
Did anyone else not have espn feed on there DIRECTV?
Right here Disney and DirectTV is having a contract dispute so we can’t get access to espn channels or any other channels own by Disney until they agree to a new deal
Verlander is washed up. Shelled again
Say it so Joe!
Look for Verlander to go back on IL with some sort of stiffy. That way he Might be able to convince somebody to sign him next year.
I would say no, sorry Justin u go by what's good for u, now we have to do what's good for us!!!!
Time for JV to retire. Not much demand for a pitcher that gives up 9 runs in 3 innings.
Justin Verlander need to go home he's pitching like trash 🗑️

father time is once again undefeated
Verlander is done!
JV is washed up
OMG he sucks Verlander is washed

JV will still expect to start the rotation in post season. That’s what is so infuriating. Never, never put Hader in to pitch a “Lost Game”. WTF
Couldn't see the game
1) Verlander has been getting beat up since he came back...
2) We are in the stretch run and Seattle is in hot pursuit.
3) We are losing every game he is on the mound...
As a result, Verlander cannot start another game for the Astros...
We cant afford to basically keep giving games away while he tries to figure it out...

Valdez, brown, and kuchuki, are locks for the playoff roster,,arighetti should get a shot

I don't mind the loss...we won the series...I think JV will figure it out
Send him to the SPACE COWBOYS !!!!!!
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. Why do we continue starting him, option him down to the minor leagues and if he works our his mechanics, bring him back.
Send Verlander down to AAA so we do lose our mojo
JV has a huge ego, deservedly so. but I don't think it's so big that if he still hasn't got it figured out come playoff time, he'd be the first one to do what's best for the team and excuse himself because of neck stiffness.
JV needs to retire. He had his time in the sun. He's old and likely not on PEDs like I suspected 2 years ago when he was a lot bigger
me I have DirecTV couldn't game take God Justin Verlander trashed pitcher
Obviously Verlander has lost his touch.
Oakland will sweep the astros!!! You heard it here 1st.
