Thompson's FB was down a notch this start, 90-92, but what drives me nuts is his nibbling and lack of command, too many deep counts.
Compare to Wood, who might have a tad LESS velocity but attacks hitters.
Young pitchers have to drive managers crazy.
Herrera is what he is, great talent but he really struggles in tight situations because he gets overeager and chases everything.
One day he may just relax, start working counts (like the beginning of last year) and win a MVP>
Until then he really should bat 6th or 7th.
Altherr is in a groove. He really has learned how to work an AB, and he's hitting everything they throw at him. Like the way he adjusts within an AB.
I'll give Garcia a mulligan, but really, with the stuff he has, don't nibble, just say here it is, you can't hit it anyway.
