    Not watching the game, but Baseball Savant has it 20 4s and 17 2S. Looking through pitch by pitch, he's splitting it up versus RHBs and throwing 4S only to LHBs. He doesn't throw his sinker to LHBs.

    Their pitcher has been hitting his spots and mixing his pitches/arm slot/timing really well. Really haven’t had many mistakes to hit.

    Well I am watching the game and there is no movement whatsoever on his pitches today. I'm not sure what they use to qualify sinker versus 4 seamer, but it's been nothing visible. Even Blum and TK are mentioning how many 4 seamers we're seeing

    Finally staring mixing it up in the 3rd

    No, he’s on a 85-90 pitch count according to the Jays broadcast. So regardless we are getting into that pen.

    His control today apparently is very surprising according to them as well. Usually is walking too many guys and throwing too many pitches down the middle of the plate because he can’t throw strikes.

    10 runs previous game + facing a 5.5+ ERA pitcher = we should have known

    Not a fan of the lineup today. And why aren't we playing Loperfido more?

    Wish he would've played over Chas. Chas needs to start feeling the heat.
