It’s nice to see Verlander get his ass kicked a little. It should instill a little humility. Just a little. :?

That was like a vintage Felix loss. No walks either.

Felix is a great example for the "Pitching and defense wins ballgames!" fingerwaggers.

Uh, no. The only thing that wins ballgames is scoring more than the other guy.

Always going to be losers when you play for the 2-1 game.

He’s usually so dominating that I view any loss he takes as an ‘ass kicking’, not to mention that it was the Tigers who beat him. I dare say he probably does, as well.

I can't believe they got a guy that is actually a prospect for a player who pitched about 3 innings this year.

I went to a game in DC with 95lives three years ago and they were looking for BP help back then. It has probably become a desperate obsession at this point.

I just guessed 3 innings, it was actually 3.1. He had been pretty good for Washington though. 7 ip, 1 ER.
