Justin Verlander said : “Innately, those guys and I’m hoping I’m one of them just have a feel of what you need to do,” “And I couldn’t really even put a finger on it exactly, and I don’t know if those guys can, but it’s just a gut feeling. You’re able to implement it and then also feel it very quickly so you can make an adjustment and understand almost immediately whether it’s something that’ll benefit you or whether it’s going to hurt”

Justin Verlander said : “If I was going to say, ‘Hey, I only want to play two more years,’ I could probably stay healthy and do that,”

Justin Verlander said : “That’s where the light bulb went off after I had surgery and Dr. Meyer said the tissue had been really beat up and it had been so for a little bit,” “That’s just one of those things that the body subconsciously adjusts for. It wouldn’t allow me to do what I used to because (my groin) probably would have pulled or torn completely. Your body just subconsciously knows that stuff and won’t allow you to do it and, thus, why my mechanics had started to change”

houstonchronicle Friday, July 10, 2020 4:44:00 AM EAT

Justin Verlander said : “I can’t have mechanics that put too much strain on my body in certain positions and last as long as I would like to last,” “That’s just kind of where it started. It started with not being so arched and upright”

houstonchronicle Friday, July 10, 2020 4:44:00 AM EAT

Justin Verlander said : “I changed a lot of stuff that some people would think was unnecessary. But I thought it was necessary, especially if I want to play eight or 10 more years,” “I don’t think last year’s mechanics, even though they were very effective, were sustainable health-wise over a long period of time”

houstonchronicle Friday, July 10, 2020 4:44:00 AM EAT

Justin Verlander said : “I think they did a good job thinking through all this stuff. Now we just have to implement it,” “The first hurdle we’ve come to is testing and, in my opinion, the most important besides what we do ourselves. We have to figure it out quickly”

Justin Verlander said : “I think today was a very pleasing day, a culmination of a lot of hard work over the past few months to get here,” “It’s not perfect yet, but today was everything I could have asked for”

houstonchronicle Friday, July 10, 2020 4:44:00 AM EAT

Justin Verlander said : “It was so important to treat today like a regular-season game to have the walk-up music, to have all of it, and pitch with silence, pitch without people in the stands, because that’s what we’re going to be dealing with,” “Me personally, I haven’t pitched in a game like that in 25 years”

houstonchronicle Friday, July 10, 2020 4:44:00 AM EAT

Justin Verlander said : “I didn’t really notice anything different today,” “I try to drown out crowd noise anyway; it’s just more kind of white noise. I feel like I had the same mentality. But I think it'll be interesting when we face other teams. The chirping, the comments from the dugout you’ll hear all that when you usually don’t, so I think that will be interesting”
