With Houston's season on the line, Justin Verlander took the mound Friday night against the New York Yankees in Game 6 of the ALCS.
Verlander was 3-0 in the playoffs heading into Game 6 with a complete game win against the Yankees earlier in the series already under his belt, and the former Tiger continued his dominance in Game 6.
One pitch really summed up how good Verlander was in Game 6, and it was so filthy, Todd Frazier could do nothing but swing in the saddest way possible.Justin Verlander's 2 ALCS starts:

Justin Verlander's curveball that made Todd Frazier look like a Little Leaguer: 2,998 rpm spin rate, per @Statcast. His highest of the game.

Todd Frazier just took one of the ugliest swings you will see. Yankees are helpless against Verlander.

That last swing by @Yankees Frazier off Verlander looked like he was wearing handcuffs and straitjacket ..... omg that was a funky swing!

The last two that Verlander threw to Frazier should be illegal. #dealing

Wife, upon seeing Todd Frazier swing and miss at Justin Verlander's last pitch: "Did he get scared?"

You know Verlander is on when he has big-league hitters taking βemergency hacksβ like Frazier just did...

Justin Verlander needs to send an apology to Todd Frazierβs family for making him look like that on national TV.

Todd Frazier's swing against Justin Verlander would literally be me, except I'd probably also be having a panic attack.

What Verlander just threw to Frazier should be illegal. My goodness that was beautiful.

If the Astros get to Game 7, Verlander deserves a ton of credit for helping get them there.
(H/T: FTW)
