I wish that I could answer any of these questions. Kelly says he lost command of his fastball when he tried to be too "fine" with it. He said that he had to just throw it down the middle when this happened because he could not hit the corners. I don't know why some adjustment could not have been made, say, throw other pitches?
The short starts are discouraging. All the high ERAs in the rotation are worrisome. I can just say that it is still early at this point. Things have a chance to get better.
I am also worried about the sputtering offense. Take away all of the unearned runs and this offense really has not done much yet.
I can see the offense correcting itself. The pitching? Oye.
By the way, I usually use "sucks pond water" and "sucks donkey dicks". That is why I got a kick out of what you said.
