One thing I didn't like is that he was throwing too many pitches. Josh isn't a guy that is going to be sucessful when throwing a ton of pitches per inning, because he can't rely on the strikeout. When he's getting a ton of strikeouts it is because he's throwing a ton of pitches, meaning they are seeing a lot of stuff and he's not really throwing strikes.
When Josh is on, he doesn't go deep into counts as teams are swinging at his stuff and he gets a lot of easy outs. Thats wasn't the case today as he was really having to battle. Still, he pitched solid even though he didn't have good control.
Exactly!
