With an arsenal featuring a few good (but not great) weapons, he&#x2019;s struggled to retire hitters and pitch deep into games consistently.

He's screaming silently into his helmet during his customary two-strike timeouts. He's scowling as he walks back to the dugout following fruitless at-bats. He's in a major slump, and he knows it.
