How the hell should I know.... I'm not a friggin pitcher so I have no clue. I'm going by what Rick says himself. He usually comes out and sucks ass the first inning or 2 and then adjusts his (mechanics, grip, what he throws i dunno....) And that is why he usually gets better as the game goes..... Last night it didn't happen. Guts or not he has had plenty of games where he has given up a dinger, or 2, or 3 in the first inning or two and then calms down and will go a solid 3-5 innings after. Last night he just looked frustrated and things went from bad to worse. Whether he adjusted or not it just wasn't his night..... Unfortunately most of his starts this year haven't been his night.
