Kevin Barker

He may look like a triple-A hitter.

Yeah.

Okay?

You know why?

Because he was effectively wild to some degree last night where some of these veteran guys need to know where to look.

Yeah, one for ten through the first five innings, what the Red Sox were.

You know, Dylan Cease was kind of living on the edge the entire night, right, the fastball command.

When he misses arm side and up, that just means the lower half's a little disconnected from the upper half.

He was a little in a hurry.

You know, Siddle talked about that.

He did a really good job of breaking that down just fast.

You know, kind of sometimes when it don't go where he wants it to go, glove side, sometimes he gets in a little hurry.

He wants to force location, kind of look the way it looked.

You know, the 25 pitch inning, the 24 pitch inning, the 219 pitch innings, and the 21 pitch inning.

You know, he grinded through it, but when he needed to make a pitch to a good lefty,

He did it.

The power up was a big pitch for him, right?

It was that fine line of, if I could just make that one pitch when I needed it, he made it.

And, you know, when you got 98 to 99 in the tank, up is a good place to go.

He went there, and they scored enough runs.
