Maybe he hit bottom,and started doing what guys had been telling him to work on for a long time.Timm,do you remember this guy's temper ? Not exactly the easiest guy to teach a new trick.Hey,all I know is the guy was getting way to much of the plate,and simply kept doing that.I saw one of those old pitches from him in his start in Detroit.Somebody put that one out in a hurry.I am not surprised that Dodgers couldn't get him to stop throwing fat pitches.I would think the Halos could have turned him around though.Surprised Black or others couldn't get him turned around before he basically torched the Halos season with 10 or so losses.
