Kim’s back, and because of last night’s rainout they’re putting in Kim to start for a few innings then Wakefield as the long reliever. (Of course, Kim could pitch a 75-pitch complete game, heh.) When I first heard this I thought, man, they’re abusing Wakefield’s versatility again, but then apparently Wake was the one who volunteered. What a guy.
So for that game we’ll have a sidearmer followed by a knuckleball pitcher in the day game - how rare is that?? And following up with a sinkerballer in the night. Man, that must really put the D-Rays’ timing off. (Pardon me while I pull an Eddie Floyd and knock on all the wood in my house.) Anyway, might as well get the makeup game while we have 12 pitchers…
I’m already wondering what the knuckler will do during the interleague game at Coors Field… effects of thin air on that weird pitch? Anyone?
