  1. Yes, he seems to be getting better.  Now I notice they are actually swinging and missing at the high fastball.  I guess he sets it up better or they are waiting for it but it is too far out of the strike zone about half the time still.  I remember in his first start he kept throwing it and they weren’t swinging he got behind in the counts way too much.  Now we see the method to the madness.  If they can’t hit the other stuff they lay and wait for the high fastball and he fools them up out of the zone.  Learn sumpin’ new everyday!  Like the really keen keen espn lady says they have to lay off the high fastball.  I guess that is a 4 seamer?
