You wonder how a man who pitched in the allstar game, who pitched on the biggest stage in baseball in the playoffs and in the world series, suddenly decides that he lost confidence in his stuff and then nibbles. The sad thing is, the stuff is there. What is missing is between his ears.
If he can ever get confidence in his stuff and throw strikes he will be fine.
I agree he will be fine, he just doesnt have it right now. His changeup isnt as good as it was last year, he cant command his slider, and his sinker has been up. But I'm still VERY confident he will put it together in the 2nd half........................I hope.
