Justin Verlander, the elder statesman and now leader of the Astros‘ pitching staff, worked some good counts, got one strikeout in 2 innings sitting down Michael Conforto on a swinging third strike. Forrest Whitley followed by striking out three in two innings, he looked really good and seemed to have the poise of a seasoned veteran. Neither of them allowed a hit, and both discussed after the game what they were looking for in their pitches as well as how newer pitches were responding.
You hear terms baseball players use and I am sure many out there aren’t aware of all of the baseball lingo.
