It may be a little more difficult today as he faces an entirely different pitch – one of the most erratic knuckleballs of the season from Steven Wright. Does the perfect execution of Sale’s slide piece send him to the semi-finals, or does Wright’s unpredictable Knuckleball have enough life to take down the perennial Cy Young contender?
