Tigers starting pitcher Justin Verlander continues to throw almost every day in preparation to make his 2015 debut sometime in the near future. With every throw, bullpen session and long toss, Verlander has checked in with the media along the way to report his progress and so far everything seems normal.
Verlander also made a little non-throwing news last week when he sent out a social media message dedicated to all his haters.
Tuesday, Verlander threw again, talked to the media again and while most of the talk was about pitching, I had a chance to ask him if his social media timelines have been different since sending out his message to people that thought he should only be rehabbing and not enjoying the other aspects of his life.
"I don't really pay attention, it is what it is, that's just kind of the way I felt."
Verlander also addressed if Twitter/Facebook/Instagram keyboard tough guys actually get to him. Check out the video to find out his answer.
