I've noticed this the past few starts with a knuckleballer in my rotation...

He was pitching a gem into the 8th when he started giving up hits and i noticed every pitch was a fastball, figuring it was fatigue i got the bullpen ready and wrote it off as such. Next start no issues or fastballs thrown.....now in his 3rd start, 21 pitches into the game and in the second inning all he is throwing are 81-85 mph fastballs that are getting crushed. "Fastball" is not even in his list of pitches he throws....and on normal starts he is knuckleball heavy with a curve and changeup.

da f...? is this a new "realism" to the injury part of the game, where i need to recognize when a pitcher is not right? or is this a straight bug? its curious that its inconsistent when this fastball spree shows up. note: mound visits claim he is completely fine.
