Just watching him labor out there last night.... Man he is not having a good start to the season. I was a little worried when they said something this morning on 610 on how many innings he has logged in his career. Just wondering how much left he has in his tank. Id really like to see him turn it around...... Hopefully he can!
He said at the start of the season that he took more time off this offseason & would be about a month behind the rest of the guys. Hasn't complained about his arm as far as I know; he's complained constantly about his mechanics. His location stinks, he's leaving a ton of balls up & not hitting the corners. Hopefully he can pitch his way out of it. We'll see.
After last night, his location...he just can't seem to keep it down...He needs to show Roger some man love and get him back as we can't survive the long season with mediocre pitching...
Yeah, I've been wondering the same thing....I just keep trying to tell myself that last year he started off slow, then after the all star break he dominated. I'm praying for the same thing here. Pugs
Just like with real estate..........it's all about location, location, location. Also, his cutter seems flat this year....doesn't have the same movement as it did last year. No matter the reasons, he needs to get it figured out: the Astros have no shot to make the playoffs without Andy returning to his "normal" form.
He's usually more effective late-season and playoff time anyway, although he is struggling more than usual early this season. He'll get better as he goes along...
Didn't he struggle to start the season last year too? If I recall he even went on the DL for a bit last season too in the beginning.
3 hitter today........looks good now........remember he led the league with the lowest ERA after the all-star break!!!!! he will still win 16+........and maybe a no hitter this year is in his future i can feel it....
