Agree. Can't issue walks or hit batters. Not throwing near the zone around the plate enough.

I think we will see this more in Supers and CWS. When Anderson or Enyanson are not up, hitters will sit and make them throw strikes.

"tHe BoOk Is OuT"

Ya'll sound stupid. He's getting shelled because he's missing his spots. His changeup is very effective but not effective when he's falling behind in counts and hitters aren't being fooled by a 90mph fastball in a 2-1 or 3-1 count.

A supposed strike thrower that walked a leadoff batter of 4 pitches and hit the next batter, which opened the floodgates.
when you can't throw strikes on demand, you can't pitch at this level.

He’s got the pitching yips

Needs to get in the lab and figure out what has shifted in his mechanics

Mechanics terrible. Off-balance, falling off to the left every pitch, which by coincidence is where his misses are. He also sits up on the exteme left edge of the rubber which means he throwing "in" to right-handed hitters. Doesn't make sense.

Every single outing he has struggled over the last month.

Why do you keep repeating this. This isn't true. He shut down the best offense in the country for 3 innings, 3 weeks ago.

He has to get his command back, but to act like he hasn't done anything in 6 weeks or something is simply factually inaccurate.

Agree with this, I still think he has good stuff, but there's only so many change ups you can throw in a row and be effective.
