Sonnanstine vs. Royals Line-Up

This is my first post, so I'm not sure if this is the right place for this info.  Below is a link for Sonny vs. the Royals batters from Baseball Reference.  There is probably not a large enough sample for the latter half of this list.  Either way, this could be a good chance for Sonnanstine to have a good day.  Cleveland(read Ben Francisco) has beaten him up pretty badly in 2 of his last 3 starts.  Before this he seemed to be getting it on track with good starts against the Yankees, and the Marlins.  I just took a look at how Kyle Davies matches up against the Rays hitters, but the sample is by no means large enough to include it here.

It's more a lack of command then it is a lack of control

On His Own Ignorance

No need to worry. This is no trap. I am merely paying homage to Michel de Montaigne. He held that knowledge is of all things uncertain. I find this highly useful as a reminder to myself, and think that it is good to keep in mind when analyzing statistics.
