Game 128 Kittens/Tigers vs. twins game 2 August 23

Justin Verlander induced 16 swings and misses Saturday, which led #MLB.

From 2006 through Saturday's start, Verlander has thrown an amazing 31,691 pitches in the regular season, over 2,000 more than anyone else. Add in 1,587 additional pitches in the postseason, and you’ve got more than 33,000 pitches of wear and tear on that 31-year-old arm. Some loss of command, control and/or velocity is to be expected, but the concern in Detroit is with the train that is seemingly hauling Verlander’s dominance, or even above-average performance, away at breakneck speed.

Beyond 2014, the Tigers are on the hook for five more seasons and $140 million for an asset in seemingly steep decline. It may have been part of the reason behind the trade for David Price (along with Max Scherzer's possible departure via free agency come November).

That doesn't leave me with a warm and fuzzy feeling!
