Is that like 11 of last 12 batters have reached off of him?

I don't even want to look. Too depressing.

Usually you don't manage to give up that many hits when you have the yips

Man Hansen is such a depressing story

The kid Maldonado is 3-3, 2B, RBI, R

Palka with another good night. It's time to bring him back up, to DH and cut ties with Alonso.

Wait what? We just brought up Collins to do just that

Yes, I forgot that Collins may stick, even after Castillo comes back. However, I thought they wanted to have him get as much catching experience as possible, which he won't do, if he stays in Chicago, because McCann needs to get the majority of the starts, behind the plate. I don't think that they want him to just DH. Well, in any case, one of the two (Collins or Palka) should get Alonso's at bats, please. Yonder still has no place on the future roster of this team. Bite the bullet already, and let him go.

How do you go from leading the entire minor leagues in strikeouts to looking like a guy who suddenly forgot how to pitch?

Either there is something physically wrong with him, or he is one of the biggest head cases I can remember. It may not be an injury, but if not, perhaps it's something in his mechanics.

I too haven't seen much of his change-up. But when he does use it I've noticed some gnarly, silly looking hacks at it.

That's why I asked. If it's effective, why aren't we seeing it more? Are they trying to get him to lean on his fastball more because he needs to work on repeating his mechanics with it? His curve is so pretty and fools guys, but he could have used the change of pace to put a few more guys away tonight.

Erik Johnson?  Although he never possessed Hansen’s pure stuff...
