.500? Win Twins!

What on earth is going on with this Davis Martin guy? He's suddenly breaking out at age 29 after several years of mediocrity. Three of his pitches have run values well into positive numbers after years of "meh".

Well my snarky response was going to be, 'Because he hasn't faced the Twins yet'.

But then checking his opponents, it possibly does shed some light:

Not exactly great competition he's been facing. Still, those numbers would be impressive against AAA players.

Wasn't he a rule 5 pick up for the Sox? Prielipp will need to give them a good outing tonight. Runs will be hard to come by.

Update:  Looks like Martin will be pushed back a day.  The White Sox are calling up David Sandlin from AAA Charlotte to make the start tonight.  Hopefully a boost for us against Prielipp.

Maybe he has learned to locate them? Or throw them all with the same motion so the batter can't read which it is until it's too late, or maybe he has a catcher who knows how to call his game? Or a little bit of everything?

Sandlin has thrown 12 IP across 4 starts, looks like a (probable) BP game tonight.

Damn I wanted Fedde. But then it was Fedde who broke us in 2024.
