He was still hitting around 92 most of the game want he? Until maybe the last inning.

That's what everyone I've talked to who was at the game is saying. In fact, none of them even mentioned a drop in velocity at the time.

ETA: Not saying it didn't happen though. The walks and errors were more harmful IMO.

It started out at 92-91, touched 93 a couple of times, then it gradually regressed to 91-90 and by his last inning he was mostly at 89.

It's alarming because before tonight, he never dropped below 92 in previous home starts (not sure what his velo was for Bama & UGA). Before, he was mostly 95-93 and wouldn't drop in the later innings. Again, if this was an anomaly of a game fine, but this tweet had me thinking about this before the game:

I don't know, I just don't think all of these events (missed start, velocity, etc.) are coincidental incidents.
