He doesn't really seem to have changed anything. His stuff seems pretty much the same as earlier in his career. Baseball has just seen an explosion in velocity and spin in recent years.
I think Tate was DFA'd. We should have Fisher, Fluharty, Garcia, Green, Hoffman, Lauer, Little, Rodriguez. You have to think Rodriguez, Little, and Garcia are probably unavailable. They'd likely prefer not to use Hoffman if possible. Still some innings available down there.
Bautista could be frustrating for long stretches too. I mean, we regularly referred to him as Poptista. He was kind of the polar opposite of Vladdy. He killed birds instead of worms.
I wonder who is going to come up for depth in game 2? They can probably get someone from Buffalo here in time, so you have to figure someone will be. Milacki maybe?
