4 years agoCleveland Indians closer Brad Hand was charged with four runs (three earned), permitting one hit, one walk and hitting one batter as the Tribe fell to Chicago 4-0 on Wednesday at Progressive Field. “I got myself in trouble with the walk and the hit-by-pitch with nobody out,” Hand said. “Trying to get a strikeout there with the sac fly and then kind of fell apart right there.” Despite the fact that Hand had already picked up two saves in his first two appearances of the season, he had given up one run in those two frames and his velocity has been two or three ticks lower than it usually is throughout a season. Hand claims to be feeling fine and well, but the radar gun seems to say otherwise. It's definitely worth monitoring if you are a Hand owner going forward.--James Stokke
