Kris Bubic cast a spell to turn back time against the Cleveland Guardians tonight. The lefty has struggled all season long, but in his final start of the year he much more closely resembled the pitcher of last season - at least in results.
There are two commonly accepted facts about Kris Bubic:
- He’s better when he’s pushing his fastball velocity up to 93-95 than when he’s allowing it to hover at 90-91
- Even if he’s got his fastball working, he’s probably going to live and die by his changeup.
Kris pushed his velocity up, tonight, but his changeup was very nearly missing in action.
