Angels haven't scored 10 runs all year. We are good.
I don't need another start to know he shouldn't be on the postseason rosterBig Al 1992 said:
So one more start for JV? Hard stop after 4 innings - then make a decision on playoffs?
Much more to come from a very candid Justin Verlander, who acknowledged the playoff roster decisions Houston has ahead of it. Verlander does intend to make his final regular-season start. https://t.co/IziNzJv7F7

Verlander: "I think I came back from the neck injury a little fast. I know the schedule, I know the calendar. I want to be an asset for this team and to do that I need to be able to pitch and find out where I'm at. Obviously, the results have not been good..." pic.twitter.com/MwKtR9Ofap

Verlander has done a lot for this organization, I hope he gets a spot but I'm not the coach.. I'm just a couch potato coach
Verlander was asked if could understand/accept if he was left off postseason roster: “Yeah, I mean, like I said, it’s not my decision. I was away for two months and all these guys were pitching fantastic. You’ve seen a bunch of guys really come into their own…” pic.twitter.com/BUDityIetf

Verlander cont.: "I’ve worked as hard as humanly possible trying to bounce back as quick as I can from the injury and get back out there. And for them to have that ovation after such a difficult day, yeah, it touched me. It did." (2/2)

And you're still in the dugout/bullpen when you're not on the playoff roster. I hope he finds something next outing. Make him an opener - give him 3 innings?
Astros savior starter Yusei Kikuchi's wife Rumi Fukatsu walks the runaway in the @Astros Foundation luncheon and fashion show and the couple's son Leo decides to make it a double walk. Leo's goodbye wave to his dad may be the best part. pic.twitter.com/CMqV1ayr7c

Good morning to everyone but Anaheim, #GoHalos fans and Father Time. Regardless of what happens from here on out, it has been an amazing run for @JustinVerlander in an @astros uniform. Now go away, Seattle. #Relentless 🔥🤘🏼 pic.twitter.com/BulnuU4Hix

Starter meltdown insurance would more likely be Blanco in the WC & DS & Spaghetti in the CS & WS.
Would you feel more comfortable bringing in Ort or JV for a 5th inning to get 3 outs?
