  Great job by Salazar (4-1)

  Woo hoo!

  Have they won a series yet this year? It feels like that is a good next step to trying to at least attain mediocrity at this point.

  They won the opening series. That's it I believe.
  
  Salazar has been pretty damn amazing. We forget how young he is, and the change-up the last 2 outings has elevated his game to another level. Hopefully he keeps perfecting it.

  He is averaging over 100 pitchers per start. The good thing is Francona hasn't pushed him past 6 innings really. Anymore than twice through the order and he usually gets lit up.

  Not true in the slightest the last 2 times out. He owned the Royals (of course, after he have up 3 runs in the 1st lol).
  
  He has only been throwing the change for like 3 starts, and they have gotten progressively better. He had 9 Ks with it today, and threw it 85% for a strike. That's tremendous.

  I am going off mostly from last year. this year he hasn't gone more than 7 innings, and been getting a lot of Ks, so he isn't facing batters really more than twice. Hopefully his change up continues to keep batters off balance enough.
