It's obviously all in his head. He just needs a win to know he can do it and he belongs on a major league roster. Once he relaxes a little, I would think that he can have the same success he had in Rochester.Quote:

Is that you, Gardy?Quote:

The ump does seem to be giving some on the outside corner but he definitely does not seem to want to call the strike at the knees.
To be fair, at the start of the season I heard a number of pundits thinking Dozier was ready (it was actually a little bit of a surprise he started in Rochester) and Florimon wasn't even on the radar scope. He's played his way into this over the season.Quote:

Wow, lots of trouble with pop ups and fly balls today. Wasn't sure Josh was going to catch that one.
Another Hendriks outing, another day of not getting the job done. What will it take for him to 'get it'? Will he at all this year?
He's very hittable at this point. I wish I could have seen him pitch in AAA to see what's so different. Perhaps Parker can put something together?Quote:

Looks like you nailed that prediction.Quote:

Sigh
It's more than just that. You don't find many 2 ERA guys in AAA that can't be fair in the MLB.Quote:
