What has happened to Garcia's stuff? Even last start, his fastball seemed a lot slower than in seasons past, and he's not throwing his splitter/changeup like he did last season. Just compare the stuff he has now to the first start he made for the Sox vs the Twins last year. There's no comparison.
To me he's always been one of those guys who gets better as the game goes on.
Let's hope the same holds true with this start today but he just left the pitch to Ibanez up and out over the plate.
If he wants to pitch well consistently at home (and this goes for all of our starters) you have to work the corners and keep the ball down.
