Tiger fans(and others),do you think Verlander will find his groove again?

I think he needs a better breaking ball. Maybe a nice cutter or sharper slider. The hitters are jumping on those flat fast balls. He needs a pitch to throw them off. A nice change up would be good also.I mean 95 mph fast balls are lethal-but not when the hitter expects it most of the time.We need an effective Verlander to compete this year.

    If it doesn't happen soon it ain't gonna happen. I read that he and his girlfriend had broken up but by now he should be over it enough to pitch decently. I heard he gave up seven runs in yesterday's game.
