Normally, pitchers who "bulk up" end up losing too many of their fast-twitch muscles and losing some of their fastball (see Chris Beck)...at any rate, pretty incredible (and fortunate) to have three of the top 10 contracts in the game with Sale/Quintana/Eaton.

 

 

White Sox tend to struggle with pitchers who top out at 87-90 MPH fastballs...77 mph knuckle curve there.

More then usual no doubt, probably a lot of KC fans in the house as well. Bandwagon jumpers.

 

They put together lots of tour packages for Chicago, Dallas, Denver and the Twin Cities/Mall of America (lesser extent) for Kansas Citians. Chicago is one of the most popular destinations, typically.

The irony is the Mets could actually use him with Harvey possibly going on the shelf, Matz dealing with a few setbacks...luckily, they kept Colon around for just such an occasion.

 

KC collected a bunch of journeyman guys, Chris Young, Gee, Chien Min Wang and Mike Minor (Blanton as well)...Sox countered with Latos/Gonzalez/Turner.

 

 

 

And, as predicted, Quintana keeps struggling to retire Perez. Nice double play to get out of the inning.

 

Love the faster-paced games. Playing in Boston, and those Rangers' contests in TX...seems like they were all on a 3 1/2 - 4 hour pace.

Lawrie 0/14 and just 3 for his last 25.

 

Still 7th in AL doubles, 19 walks....less than 10 under his total for all of last season.

 

Uh-oh.

 

HBP. No way that was intentional, despite the past history with Lawrie. 90 MPH isn't going to hurt anyone unless it's at the head.

Well, at least no double play ball there...but sets up the double play ball for Avila.

 

Seems he either K's, singles, hits the ball weakly or walks, though.

 

 

 

KC is 21-7 their last 28 games at USCF. But it was just 6-4 last year. Avila walks.

 

Need a big base hit here to get a 2-0 lead. At the very minimum, one run is a must.

 

 

Jackson just 2 for his last 20 after the 7 game hitting streak. 10th in the league with infield hits (6). Tried to go to RF there.

Not sure why Gee would throw a knuckle-curve there and speed up Jackson's bat but we'll take it.
