There have been some hard hit balls tonight on both sides and the Disch is swallowing them up. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

If Sawyer locates like this he's gonna end up in the starting rotation. 

[utisdabomb12]

you called that a strike three on Gurwitz. 

[utisdabomb12]

Really impressed with Sawyer. Locating the zone and letting guys behind him make plays. 

If he can find the strike zone he's gonna be in the mix for a starting spot.
