Excuse my physics ignorance, but is the implication that thin air will make the knuckleball an even crazier pitch to hit, or that it will hang there and get swatted?

The thin air will make all pitches move less. So, the fear is Wakefield could look like he's pitching slow pitch softball.

I don't think Francona has discussed his rotation yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if Lester gets the start instead of Wake.
