Houston Astros fans amazed by the career-best season from veteran pitcher Justin Verlander: "When he’s dealing it feels so helpless on the other side" , "We will literally never see anything like this again"

Justin Verlander has pitched his last regular-season game for the Houston Astros this year. He was dominant from start to finish. His impressive season has put him at the forefront of the Cy Young award race. The 17-year MLB veteran dazzled in nearly every appearance on the mound. He finished the season with a jaw-dropping 1.75 ERA, which is the lowest in the league.The fact that he is coming off Tommy John surgery makes this season even more impressive. For most pitchers, it is a career altering (and sometimes career-ending) procedure. Justin Verlander is not like most pitchers. His 18-4 record is evidence of that. His 18 wins with the Houston Astros this season is the most by any starter in the American League.'Talkin' Baseball' contextualized the brilliance Justin Verlander showed this season:Talkin’ Baseball@TalkinBaseball_Justin Verlander just turned in his last start of the regular season.
