Great, great win. A shutout at Coors, led by Derek Lowe. Who’d have thunk it? And it sounds like he knew what he was doing, which is a nice change:
“The air doesn’t really affect the change of speed, so if you can throw a sinker and a changeup you’ll have a lot more success than the breaking ball because the breaking balls are the ones that spin,” Lowe said. “You’ve got to give yourself the best chance to have success and throwing breaking balls isn’t the right way to go.”
Mmm. I like the Resurgent Derek Lowe (that 5.25 ERA is still ugly, but at least it’s plummeting). Nice bunt too.
