Morton tough, strikes out the side.

Verlander warming in the BP.

Verlander to the mound in relief.

Hope rain doesn't delay now.

[TildenHunter]

Hated that move bringing in Verlander. Time to score more runs.

Yep. He's never done it! Let harris finish inning and bring him in 6th!

[Bayouboy]

Definitely a bad move.

If anything, I would of brought in Kuechel and left Verlander for 5th game if needed. Try and get 2-3 innings out of Dallas.

Exactly what I was thinking

[Bayouboy]

Can’t blame the wasted scoring opportunities on him though.

[Bill M]

Yep not a good move IMO. Morton was pitching fine.

[BRust]

Straight up dumb move.............

[Brown]

I questioned the same thing when he got up in the pen. Why did we do that? To be like the red sox? Morton was fine, verlander has never done it and the rain is coming. For all you knew you'd get one inning from verlander then the rain comes. Bad move.

And the bats have gone silent.
