These aren't numbers, it's based on having seen the majority of his big league starts with my own eyes. He's an amazing young talent and there's a reason why the Braves had him as an untouchable when the Tex deal was being negotiated.

And he's also capable of being shellacked by a team with some good f***ing mojo going right now...

Especially when he's thrown 17 breaking balls in 58 pitches, completely out of the ordinary for him.

The White Sox have raised Tommy Hanson's ERA by a full half run tonight. It's like the difference between pitching in the NL and the AL!

 

He is also at 59 pitches after 3.

 

Danks is at 53 after 4

Fun fact: Danks has a 2.6 ERA if you erase his one bad start where he gave up 8 runs

 

Braves are on a 34-14 stretch of play

 

White Sox are known around the league as an "middle of the plate in, mistake hitting" team...fwiw, that's why hitters like Pierre, AJ, Vizquel, Beckham and Viciedo are needed, because their natural strokes are to the opposite field or RCF. Even Quentin, when he's going good, can rip it to RCF. Rios is a spray hitter.

 

Maybe all that will start to influence Alexei a bit, seems like he's getting locked in more and more.

 

Nice bonehead running Kotsay, didn't look for Cox, ended up getting thrown out by 15 feet.

I heard the other day that scouts thought he had the best slider in baseball

It's right up there, he typically throws it about 30% of the time. It's definitely his go to pitch.
