Pretty sure that they moved Lester behind Hendricks to line up the 2nd half. Q should be on for the 2nd half then Hendrick and Lester are on regular rest. That pushes Montgomery and Chatwood back further.

I was watching some of the game last night local in SD. They were talked by that Chatwood has used 80% hard and 20% off speed. As they count a cutter as a fastball variant. So he has pretty much been going at one speed. Hard with 2 /4 and a cut grip.

Almost never uses a curve or change any more.

I really don’t know why. Maybe due to his delivery. It is pretty violent looking.

Probably put them on the backburner with control issues....hell, he can barely throw strikes with his fastball "variants".

Yeah. He's got the in-and-out going, painting the inside and outside corners, but he's not varying it up and down much. I'm sure it's a feel thing. I hope he gets the feel going really good in the next inning or two...

Not a good manager by any stretch but they really hung him out to dry with that bullpen they supplied him with.

Nah, AT&T.

Too bad, T-Mobile gave me a full season of MLB At Bat for no charge. You can watch any game...on your phone, computer or streaming TV box.

Hey, this Baez guy is pretty good.

For some reason, I watch the White Sox feed for all the Cubs vs. Sox games. Hawk Harrelson would always spend 1/4 of the broadcast time talking about how great a player he thought Baez would become.

Yeah, that would be cool. I guess I could stream a game with my phone, but then that would kill off all my high speed data real quick ha. Maybe watch one game a month.
