Anytime I bet on this gimp I lose. So my new theory was "look, you know he has duds where he literally gets rocked by scrubs from the moment he walks out there… just wait for that to happen and then ride him on his next start if it's a favorable matchup".
That's what I did today - loaded up on ML Tigers since he's going up against a literal journeyman pitcher for the Rangers who are visiting on a getaway day and oh by the way Les Tigres were basically blanked yesterday so they should be ready to go.
Instead Verlander comes out looking like a retard (which he can't help) and pitching like a stiff. Fukk him.
After the Tigers tie up in the bottom of the first, Verlander comes out and promptly gives up a home run to Choice (who?) and a double to some other scrub. Now he throws away a bunt to first base and gives up another run. Still nobody out in the top of the 2nd and now the Rangers bats are up.
Fukk Verlander I fukkin hate him.
