Did anybody get a chance to watch Covey's previous start? By the numbers, he had a very solid game. The link below shows all his strikeouts.

I didn't get to watch the game. However, it appears he was throwing a 2-seamer with a heck of a lot of movement at 95 mph. To be fair, I never watched him pitch much in his previous stints with the sox. Was his fastball always this good? Is it the secondary pitches he struggles with? I wonder if he has figured it out and can become a back of the rotation guy. People were scratching their heads the sox sent him to the AFL and protected him in the rule 5. I guess they really did see something in him.
