Verlander went back to the way chuckers, until a couple of weeks ago, tried attacking Gamel with two strikes; he tried to throw a FB above the strike zone.  He didn't get it up enough and Gamel mighty Gamel (loving THAT) was on top it, anticipated it, and frozen-roped it.  It was kind of a wide-eyed moment when everybody in the park, players, too, went "Holy George Brett!  What doesn't he hit right now???"

Dyson's bunt was a beauty, but his earlier play in CF was unexplicably braindead.  Fooled (I assume), he made a cruddy play on the ball, and then, (with a runner dead at 2B), either airmailed a throw or intentionally threw it to third.

I think he threw it to third and simply didn't see that he had a sitting duck.  I can't believe that he missed Cano by that much, high AND wide, from that short distance.

Anyway, he completely botched that play; with it, Paxton would have (likely) got out of the inning without getting scored upon.

Maybe I'm spitting on Superman's cape, but that was a high-schoolish type of effort.
