    I was worried when before the first game against the AAA Marlins when Andy said he would likely have trouble cause he hadn't faced most of these guys before and didn't know how to pitch them.

    I dunno, maybe I am wrong, but when a pitcher relys that much on his "book" instead of his stuff...sounds like trouble

    NL hitters have adjusted to him - taking tons pitches, running up his pitchcounts & making him come over the plate more often - and now it's his turn to make some changes.

    I think RC will kick his *ss, if AP does not game up.

    :cool:

    Pettitte relies on location and knowledge more than pure stuff. It's just the type of pitcher he is. Does it sound like trouble that Maddux is the exact same way?

    Yup.

    And he has a history of being a better 2nd half pitcher anyway. I expect a sparkling 2nd half from him.

    This guy kept an extensive notebook on hitters and studied it before every game:

    He made the All Star team once and was STELLAR for us
