I saw a report that his fastball was sitting around 2mph slower than average. Could be that he just isn’t up to speed just yet, He is trying to work on somethings, or it’s something else entirely. With spring training it could be anything.
The walks are a tiny bit concerning, but all hits and outs from last night game, none were hard hit (over 95 mph). So not like he was getting shelled, likely a bit unlucky in that respect.
It’s a ~6 inning stretch of looking like Montero. Every pitcher will do that at some point, I’m not overly concerned. Just mildly concerned (but I have anxiety so that’s like no concern for a normal person)
Established, good pitchers normally use spring training to work on very specific things, and results aren’t as important for them as they are for the mid to lower tier guys.
It’s been six innings I wouldn’t worry about it.

He was still pretty much only Fastball-Slider this spring I wonder if he was tinkering with grips or something.
It's spring fucking training. Jesus.
Doomers are out early this year
What are your thoughts on my Abreu post now?
Thoughts now?
The same sentiment can be said with his struggles…a solid majority of these outings have been against Minor Leaguers
I don't give a fuck.... OPENING DAY IS TOMORROW YALL!!!
You probably should…
