Just last week I called Francisco Liriano’s career over. Today, he shut me the hell up:
Look at all those glorious pitches in the bottom of the strike zone. Liriano threw 97 pitches. His 91st pitch was a shade over 94 mph, and his slider averaged 87 mph and he threw 33 of them. If the slider is back, Liriano is back, simple as that.

The first thing I notice about that is all the pitches below the strike zone – sliders. Only half of them were strikes, but when that pitch is working he’s firing on all cylinders!
