Rob Friedman of Pitching Ninja posted a video of Justin Verlander buckling the knees of New York Mets infielder Juan Lagares with a filthy curveball earlier this week in Grapefruit League action. Vernon Wells took it upon himself to get in the action commenting on Friedman’s tweet with the following:
“It’s a matter of perspective…You see filthy curveball…I see a hanging, get me over breaking ball that needs to be in the lap of someone 37 rows deep in left center!”
Fair enough, Vernon wasn’t impressed with the Verlander yakker.
