Someone tell me how Julio did it tonight with those 87-88 fastballs? Some of their swings even looked late. Perhaps the 70 MPH pitches were enough to get them off his fastball. Honestly... Not trying to take anything away from him, but Pittsburgh has been sucking hind teet at the plate lately. He pitched well against Colorado, too

In this series we won a one run game by throwing a runner out at home by inches and another one run game because a ball came up a foot or two short of a HR. I'm ecstatic we won but not feeling to warm and fuzzy about our offensive production. Except for Dansby's two HR's yesterday our offense has really not done much (averaging 3runs /game) since the last Marlins series.

Johan is especially lost right now...all moving parts and going in various directions.

Just since I am in the stats tonight...
Julio's average speed on his FB this year has been 90.5
It has declined almost every year in MLB to this career low.
However his K's per 9 is at it's highest level ever @ 8.35
The big bad issue is is walks per 9 has gone up the last 2 years and is at it's highes level ever as well at well over 4 per 9.
His HR allowed per 9 is also at it's highest level since his rookie year back in 2011.
Walks and K's have killed him with most of those K's seeming to come on his frisbee slider.

Good point but Julio did seem to have better command, at least through the first four innings.

Johan is especially lost right now...all moving parts and going in various directions. Johan takes some ugly swings and has some ugly AB's and just when you think he's over-matched he comes through again. Wish he would cut down on the K's though.

If he could cut down the walks his ERA would plummet as his BAA is around .200. That is excellent!
