What exactly did he work on this offseason?  His velocity isn’t good and he seems to have even less confidence in his breaking pitches.

His velocity was there for his first two starts.

2 pitch pitcher who cant locate = not competitive

Maybe I wasn’t paying attention as much last season but I don’t remember him only using the change up and fastball this much. He needs to mix in his other pitches 

Needed that DP

that was big

Rack Em Up!

That was huge...hopefully there’s no challenge 

They're teeing off on him though, that was another rocket. 

JESUS, Mendick, you almost cost another run.

That's the second time, Moncada had a ball and couldn't get rid of it the other day.

Very slow to get that DP started.im worried they’ll overturn it

Hard to have it when you are only allowed to throw 2 pitches

Allowed?

Catchers aren't calling it so someone has to be deciding not to let throw any

Key at-bat there the walk to Leon.   No excuse for that.

Thinking the same two pitch plan is going to work over & over again, no matter how good those pitches are, is the definition of insanity.

He’s got to throw the curve/slider just enough to keep them off balance 2 and inning is all it takes 

2 inches off the plate

He used his breaking balls 19% of the time last year I believe.  Not sure why he thinks going fastball-change only is a smart idea.

Zone is terrible....big surprise 

At least Vasgersian has very specific memories of the 1983 season.    Ron Kittle shout-out.

Wasn't the All-Star Game in Chicago that year?

Umpires have been such dogshit

Baines was in Texas ESPN no nothing idiots

Especially when he has a nice curveball when he has a feel for it.
