How many HR's has Devo now given up on the year? This team cannot afford to stand pat. They're not going to win playoff games in this fashion, but they've made a habit of it in the regular season.
That makes 8. Goddammit. His FB doesn't have the same location or oooomph that it did earlier in the year (see Friday), and he's been hanging his breaking balls far too often (see today).
Pen is showing more and more cracks. Devo has definitely been getting tagged much more frequently. Unacceptable!
Hitters are approaching him with the same approach they do knuckle-ballers. Basically, anything up in the zone they're swinging. His fastball isn't good enough to catch a ton of the plate. His changeup becomes like a hanging Lidge slider if left in the zone.
Our #2 starter and best reliever have been getting shelled of late.. get the phone lines going. WS champs or bust
