Was at the game and it seemed like most of lange's fastballs were between 89-91. He's usually 93-94. Is this a sign of fatigue or what? I don't recall him throwing in that range all year. I hope all the 100+ pitch games aren't wearing him down.

I think he slowed it down to get control. Just my 2 cents. He is the stamina.

No he isnt. Langes fadtball typically sits 91-94. He hit 94 in the 6th tonight. Your making something out of nothing.

Sometimes you have to sacrafice velocity when your location isnt there

He was pitching 93-94 so you are wrong. Didn't notice many 89 fb's if any

His problem was location. Too many left up in the zone.

When all was said and done, he really just had one bad inning. If Slaughter catches that foul in the 1st inning, then Lange would've had 5 out of 6 shutout innings.

Hopefully, his arm is fine. Arm fatigue at this point of the season is always a concern.
