[@Mr.Pop0]

This is not our final form

[@ShiroiKiba]

​@Mr.Pop0 this is not the final form for the DBacks' lineup either; the regular 1B and 2B weren't in the lineup (and neither had rehab PAs) and the regular C and LF are close to returning from the IL. That's almost half of the lineup not playing lol (it technically is over half if you consider the CF situation, but McCarthy has been outperforming Thomas all season)

Time for Verlander to retire. And time for Dana Brown to stop signing over-the-hill players who get released from their teams (there’s a reason they were let go…).

[@sagittariusemperor9692]

Verlander has turned into Abreu and Maldonado. He is just hurting the team. Let him off the playoff roster so he can go visit them.

[@eezyclsmooth9035]

JV for all his Experience and Accolades has NEVER been Reliable! He has said that he wants to pitch into his 50s??? His Arm says Otherwise. A BAD player can have a negative effect on the rest of the Team. The PS is coming and He Will NEVER be Ready. Time to give him the "Jose Abreu" treatment!👎👋

[@WesleyP1975]

Every game is a must win from here on out.. we need to be starting pitchers who give us the best chance to win.. Verlander isn't one of them.. I have always liked Justin, but he isn't what he used to be.. I knew he was going to get hammered tonight, but I didn't think it was going to be a bad as it was.. and he has at least 3 more starts to go... that's what pisses me off about it

[@martyklestadt6766]

Every game is a must win? We've got a 4.5 game lead in the division. And Verlander can use those 3 or 4 starts to get his mechanics right...I hope.

[@WesleyP1975]

@martyklestadt6766 Look how the Astro's caught and passed the mariners in a short span of games. Who's to say the Mariners can't do the same to the Astros. If mechanics is the problem, he needs to be sent down to the minors to work on it, like they do every other player who is struggling... but since his name is Verlander and is a first ballot hall of famer, you get special treatment. I know he is trying to reach 300 wins before he retire, but putting your own acalades ahead of the team trying to win the division and the playoffs is selfish. every game is a must win. There are less than 20 games left in the regular season and they are all important and we need to try and win them all to stay in front of the Mariners.. don't get me wrong, I love Verlander and what he has done for this team but something ain't right, and trading wins for getting Verlanders mechanics right shouldn't happen.

[@andrewortiz1047]

Verlanders lower back rotation looks really stiff in his pitching. He really needs to work on his stretching to get more mobility in his movement.
