Sure, he was hurt again, and his gargantuan calves didn&#x2019;t hold up over what was a shortened season. There were comments made that pregame preparation was hardly ideal, and given the circumstances, that&#x2019;s more than fair to believe.

One of the biggest issues has been how much batters have found success against his fastball.
