1. 

2. Yup he still got it

3. Ive seen enough hes winning a cy young and ws mvp this year.

   His dominance leads skubal to take a team friendly deal for some reason.

   Tigers win 5 straight ws, guardians fold the franchise in shame.

4. There’s something that just feels right about this

5. Just went from six to midnight

6. Watching this on repeat till I fall asleep today

7. So, Tigers are going 1, 2, 3 in the Cy Young voting. Sweet.

8. I wonder what the ettiquette is for younger players on the team meeting guys like him. Does he get introduced at a team meeting so everyone can say hello? Is it informal where you might bump into him at work and say hi? Do players ask each other for autographs? I know Scherzer didn’t like people to talk to him on game days, but what about practices and workouts? I would be pretty star struck even if I had made it to the show myself.

9. He’s not the only one with tight pants

10. I sure hope he doesn’t do a Thaddeus like Fallout lol.

11. JV throwing to Jake Rogers. Player he was traded for. Sure lots of jokes going in camp the first couple of days.

12. So just based off this video, I’m thinking 225 innings pitched, 300 strikeouts. 0.69 ERA, 1 percent walk rate, 33-0, mvp and cy young. That seem right to you guys?

13. I’m trying my hardest not to get too excited about this. The man turns 43 in 9 days, for God’s sake. But there’s a part of me that just can’t help it!

14. Tarik struttin around the place like he’s worth 32 million dollars.

15. I love the fact that we’re gonna see JV pitch to the guy he was traded for lol
