He has pitched about 110 innings with houston at a 1.06era...ummm...something doesn't add up. Last year his era with detroit was over 3.50..now he has equivelant to 15 starts at 7 innings each at an era not seen in 60 years...and at his age. Not buying it...not sure but this is unheard of.

suspicious or he was dogging it in DetroitComment -
It is strange, not saying this is 100% the reason for the improvement, but I know the Astros organization uses a ton of analytics in breaking down their pitches. They video (from many angles) their motion/delivery and try and make all kind of improvements. I remember hearing an interview where Verlander said he was amazed at how the organization approached pitching. Stuff that he never even thought of during his time in Det (which may all be PED’s for all we know).
Other examples of a vast improvements are Gerrit Cole and Charlie Morton. Look at their numbers before and after going to Houston.
Either the Astros are the best organization for coaching pitching in many years....or they are up to something fishy. It’s not just VerlanderComment -

Kate Upton giving him more sexComment -
Great info on astros coaching staff etc..but hes got a 1.06 era over 110 innings...Comment -

The last few years have been depressing in Detroit. He got his stuff back after the core injury, including a bit of his velocity. The dude is a winner, and got a second life. Still arguably the best pitcher in the game.Comment -

Does he bang her bareback?Comment -
Truth is, sometimes middle aged men get a rejuvenation with a change in their life.
Could be just as simple as getting out of Detroit.
A strange piece of ass.
A new restaurant or exotic vacation.
Anything can help a 35 yr old guy get in the same groove he was in 10 years prior.Comment -

So he has had a change in his life and is on pace to finish year with an era not seen in 70 years. This is like a hitter batting 430 for the year....or hockey player scoring 89 goals in 2019...his numbers are tons better then others..tons !!!!!Comment -
The months of September 2017, and April and May of this year, are 3 of Verlander's top 7 best months of his career (lowest ERA wise)

2018 April 1.60
2017 September 1.06
2015 August 1.50

I understand what you are saying, but there's a line between voluptuous and fat. And Kate Upton is very close to that line if not crossing it on occasion.Originally posted by intermissionComment -

Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
when they start throwing broken bats back at hitters, it should give us some indication as to what's goin' on.....Originally posted by mpaschal34
even JJ is envious of former-astros' ace clemens' roid rage.....Comment -
Honestly, a few things:
1) Pitcher ERA varies a good bit from year to year.
2) I do think he was dogging it some at the end of his Detroit stay.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -

How is it astros have technology that other teams dont haveComment -
it could be houston defense is that much better. guys like morton are pitching like cy young. if the ball gets hit on ground these fielders make stops that detroit let it go for singles and doubles and in the outfield the make some good plays too and throw out players well.Comment
