The Windy City Beckons

-- When the Pack takes the field against Wofford on Sunday (or whenever the rain stops), they'll be facing Austin Redwine. Redwine sports a 6.68 ERA, and that number is an accurate reflection of his pitching ability; which is to say that he doesn't have any...

           HR/9   K/9    BB/9   K/BB    FIP     Avg     OBP     SLG
Redwine    1.5    5.6    3.5    1.6    5.77    .322    .401    .525

Opponents are OPSing .926 against him--hitting like Gary Sheffield, basically. He doesn't have good control and compounds matters with a lame strikeout rate. I expect we'll give him a nice knocking around.

-- As I mentioned earlier this week, I'll be in Chicago from Sunday until Wednesday. Braves/Cubs on Sunday, Yankees/White Sox on Monday and Tuesday. I'm hoping I can bring the White Sox some good mojo (seemed to work last year); they've been swinging the bat like a bunch of girly men this season. No new posts in this space until Thursday, most likely.
