So it looks like Dunn has now been dropped down to 5th permanently. Good.

And no Bautista again!

Not a big deal to put PK in front of Dunn, because PK's speed isn't a factor when Dunn hits. You can be as slow as you want when there is a HR, BB, or K.

Not when Adam Dunn is hitting a ton of weak grounders on the first few pitches...

This is a very important start for Sale. If he doesn't have his velocity back up to 92-93, I think we should all be very very concerned.

For visualization purposes, first pic is speed chart for 4/1, second is 4/7, third is 4/13

 

 

 

 

 

More two seamers and very few four seams in his latest start, but there doesn't seem to be a different in velocity between the two pitches so that wouldn't explain it. Hopefully just a blip.

That explains why he got killed in his last start. No difference between the change and heat.

His 2 seamers were also faster than his 4 seamers.

This should be a fun game to watch.

Indeed. Looks like he always throws some fast changeups, but he forgot to throw any slow ones last time out. Pair that with slower than normal two seamers and you have you trouble.

If Danks is here to stay time to say goodbye to Wise. Kep keeps striking out he will surpass last years total by June.

Yikes

Sale just napping out there.

Ball game.

 

Sorry, had to do it.

3 steals is a inning not good.

Oh man, with this team and Dickey locating that knuckler, this team could strike out 13-14 before Dickey comes out.

Well arent you guys optimistic.

Welcome to the game thread.

Sox have no chance against that knuckler tonight. 1 run is plenty for Dickey.

nasty

Well arent you guys optimistic.

 

He might allow some runs, but just seems like the type of game where there will be some quick innings.

regardless, I want to see chris sale have a good game damnit.

that helps

not getting much help from this f***ing ump
