Thompson's problems are mental, he was hitting 93-94, the arm is fine.
On and off night, definitely overthrows, was yanking FBs low and wide at 91, then he'd relax and hit with a knee high at 93.
Slider was bleech until the 3rd, then he started throwing a tight little pitch that dove.
Changeup was high with a nice fade, needs to get it down.
When he's on he has a sinking FB that's hard to lift and a full repertoire of secondary pitches.
Like a lot of Phillies pitchers this year, the stuff is there, the command and consistency isn't.
A lot is mental, gee, it worked in AAA but it won't work here so I need to pump it up - and the result is that the pitch totally misses.
It's often a matter of experience, they put their pants on the same way here, and they'll hit some good pitches but miss a lot if I just throw it over.
