I could be wrong of course but the one thing I am sure about is that the guys should be able to hit Rich Hill tonight. Most of his success is because of deception and these guys just saw him 4 days ago. he is not a strike thrower. he uses the fb to get ahead and throws his curveball assortment. Kershaw miffed Turner first time around 2nd time he got 3 hits off him. I suspect the same will happen tonight.
By the same token these guys just saw Max. The difference is Max had no feel for his slider and didnt throw too many. I think fb command early will determine our fate. if he can locate it early I will breathe easier. its like when Roark throws that first 2 seamer if it runs back over, you know he is going to dominate. With Max its command of the fb and if the slider has tight movement.
