I very quickly went through the Gameday data and used my own interpretation of the numbers provided -- John Danks doesn't throw an 83 MPH fastball -- to come up with this brief chart of Danks' pitch types by inning Thursday.
Pitch type / Inning | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | Total |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Fastball | 7 | 11 | 5 | 2 | 6 | 3 | 9 | 43 |
Changeup | 1 | 4 | 1 | - | 2 | 3 | 3 | 14 |
Curveball | 1 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 11 |
Cutter | - | 1 | 2 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 19 |
Danks' only two strikeouts of the game came in the 4th, where he used just 9 pitches to retire the side. He struck out Jason Michaels on an inside cutter and caught Asdrubal Cabrera looking at a curveball.
