so if judy is gonna be pitching good

and lackey is coming back next week, that means that we have 4 good pitchers. and then hopefully WTY goes and works with Butch too.

and then we can stop having our middle infielders getting hurt.

and then we’ll be unstoppable.

Shields' changeup is God-like

and his control is outstanding. That’s why he’s so tough. Yeah, his fastball doesn’t blow you away (although he can get it up to 94-95 in rare occasions) but he locates it well and that changeup is just so good it more than makes up for it.
