Your pitching matchup is Bannister versus Lee.
Yes, Cliff Lee has been gifted with yet another matchup against the Royals. Tonight marks the 8th time in his last 43 starts that he'll face the Royals.
(The Game Thread will be in the fanposts during the Draft, just so you know. Hope to see people all over the place...)

i was hoping that he had gone back to his “pitch-to-contact” style that actually had a chance of being effective, though non-traditional. it seems he has to some extent, but with mixed results

I actually really liked his confounding STAT lines, and his non-traditional approach. When it worked, it worked, and just made you sit and wonder. But sometimes it goes horrible wrong.

He's imitating Christy Mathewson.
He had a game where he got the first two, gave up two singles, then got the third out for 7 straight innings. Then apparently got bored and retired the last six. 14 hit complete game shutout. Dead ball era sorta helped that out.
