I agree with you that he should be fine, it is just strange to see such a sudden drop off after being so dominant after April this season.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07241600958871225294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804386760822273225.post-82795727012388590612009-08-29T07:31:54.541-07:002009-08-29T07:31:54.541-07:00You thought Becks velocity was off? I thought it ...You thought Becks velocity was off? I thought it was just fine...he was hitting 95 consistently, etc.<br /><br />I don't think he is fatigued. I think that he is struggling with location for whatever reason, but is throwing just as hard. <br /><br />MLBN was debating what is wrong with Beckett last night. Harold Reynolds thinks Beckett is tipping his pitches. Others disagree and say it is location, location, location. They showed a bunch of his HRs...where Tek or V MART set up and where Beckett threw the ball. They were off...by a lot.<br /><br />So, if he makes those adjustments and I have confidence that he will, I think we'll see the Beckett we know and love.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12951156819179961008noreply@blogger.com
