I think he may be a little tired. This is his first year doing it and what's affecting him now is his location. Usually you don't see it in velocity, you see it in location.

I might be confused sometimes in my head but it is not something you need to talk about. Before you can talk you have to line it all up in order and I had rather just let it swirl around until I am too tired to think. You just let the motion in your head wear you out. Never think about it. You just make a bigger mess that way.

Well, I'll tell you, about a year ago in November the National Zoo had its first litter of cheetah cubs born. And when we had them debut, the very first day, we had over about 2,500 people file through just for them. And I don't mean to make it a popularity contest, but they were nowhere near as popular before their debut as this panda cub.

The use it and lose it problem is pervasive, affecting more than 40,000 Californians a year,

It's that same area where he had that problem last year. So he only threw a few pitches and shut it down. After you have an injury, it might just be some scar tissue.

He's so locked in, but he's worked at it. He was a perennial slow starter until this year. All that tells me is he has a chance to have a big year.
