Even El Rockin capitulated for one game recently…against KC probably.

Poop!

Cease saw his ERA go up for the first time since May 24 -- a span of 14 starts, the longest for a starting pitcher since 2019. While leading 1-0 in the third, he gave up RBI doubles to Alex Bregman and Kyle Tucker; then in the fifth, Jose Altuve hit a solo shot to lead off the inning.

For the second night in a row, White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada drove in the winning run with an RBI single in the bottom of the eighth. Neither starter was around for a decision in the game. Verlander, 39, lasted seven innings, while Cease, 26, went only five. Cease gave up three runs on six hits and three walks, the first time in his past 15 outings he has given up more than one earned run.

Same with Sheets recently. Or it's just the Astros jersey. Which means Leury is also due tmrw.

Wonder when the last time a team beat Verlander twice in a season...? Has to be an AL West or AL Central team, dating back to his time with the Tigers. Of course, in the end, Hector Neris has the loss on his record.

Good job, Kimbrel... That trade hasn't really worked out for either team all that well.

99 at that point in the game at age 39 after TJ surgery? That's Tom Brady-esque.

DJ thought he balked on purpose to keep the runner at second from signaling signs to the batter.

Have they ever not been? It was worse with Correa and Springer.

You knew Verlander desperately wanted the win tonight for the Cy Young vote at age 39.

Bullpen will have to cover 3 or 4. Shocking.

That was bound to happen. Still in the game for now, but not long when they go to the B bullpen. Game was half decided when they didn't knock Verlander out. Astros just need to go 24-20 if they win tonight for yet another 100 win season.

$73.5 million

Moncada's at bat with no outs?

Odds of Tigers taking 2/3 from CLE? Anything is possible in this division, seemingly.

Thn you have Engel or Leury in the lineup.

Two of the best pitchers in baseball are going. Let's not pretend it is an easy task. Majority of teams don't score even once against Verlander.

It's one of many reasons Hahn has to be fired. He made this mess. For a second time.

Cease up to 2.05 to Verlander's 1.89. Miami's Alcantara 1.92.

Can't bench Vaughn for Engel with how he has been hitting. Just had to look at outfield alignment tonight and knew there would be issues somehow.

63 pitches. The Sox odds of winning this game are probably 1/4 or 1/3 at best. Root for the Tigers. KC always rolls over for Minnesota.
