    The ball isn’t moving as much and the control isn’t there- the velocity is off too, which is all typically a result of exhaustion. I predicted this before the season for Javier, Valdez and actually Pressly.

    The only other thing I have noticed is lefties are hitting him really well.

    What I find disappointing is the lack of sophistication by the Astros on this issue. If I knew this would likely happen with the WS, increased load and WBC - the Astros should have known and started them later.
