About a month ago, I wrote about the Chicago Cubs‘ Jon Lester and the juiced ball theory. His take? “If it is, just tell us. We don’t really care–there’s nothing we can do about it but continue to pitch.” Fast forward to right before the All-Star Game, and the Astros’ Justin Verlander–about to start his second All-Star Game–has a different opinion.
Instead of being thankful for his second ASG start, he used his platform to go after Manfred and Major League Baseball. Verlander didn’t hold much back when talking about the record number of home runs being hit this year.
