I know he didn’t have the best year but that back half of the season was pretty good and hell if you’d told me back in 2012 this Cy Young winner would be on the Giants I woulda laughed you outta the subreddit

He got so much crap on this sub most of the year, much of which was unwarranted. A majority of it came when the team as a whole stunk, so the fanbase was in a bad mood to begin with. He turned it on at the end, and at age 42 was throwing near 100mph. I hope he comes back actually.
I like that there are 63 people with more innings pitched but only 7 with more strikeouts
So you’re thanking him on having a great career before he was on the Giants?
he was an absolute beast in the second half but unfortunately he got the dreaded Matt Cain Lack of Run Support Award bestowed upon him by the offense
Thank you for getting rocked by pablo
I was a believer in JV all year I just wanna say that.
Why? I get recognizing career merit, sure, he’s a hall of famer, no doubt.
But I think most of us won’t remember him as a Giant, hell no. I don’t think he should’ve come to the bay in the first place. Absolutely not.
No “Thank you” from me
Go Giants tho
I really liked the addition of JV for the sake of having that level of veteran/future HOF for the younger arms to learn from.
Bring him back. Pay him more to finish his career out in SF and transition him to the coaching staff.
Okay
Way too many fans negative on Verlander here. Celebrate Hall of Famers when you see them.
He should go in the Hall in a Giants cap. No joke. /s
