re: Lange throwing with lower velocity

McDonald talked about it a few weeks ago. Dunn has been working with Lange to have him sit 91-93 and use 94-95 when he needs it. It essentially gives him another pitch plus it allows him to go deeper into games.

Ok that's what I was wondering. I was worried he may be fatigued

He has been siting low 90s all year and when he needs 95, he can reach back and get it. Location was the problem tonight and he adjusted after the 2nd inning.

If "taking something off" results in an earlier release and throwing high in the zone, eff that. He's got the stamina to dish his best all game, it's up to the other team to work him into high pitch counts.
While having the higher velocity later in the game is a benefit (a reverse change up if you will), if guys are having trouble catching up, would rather blow it by them early and often than give them a more hittable ball.
Regardless, dude is a competitor. You get amped up and you give it your all. Hard to not fire it in there like you know you can everytime in order to save your arm 10 pitches later on. Rattle those guys in the batters box early.
That being said, need the bats to stay hot. Hard for the other team to win without runs, but even harder when they need to score a frick ton of them
