I don't really think you can make excuses for Volquez. He's just not locating his pitches. He's just been awful so far. And as I type this, Hart goes yard.
No, it was Volquez. Do you really want me to look it up?

UGLY.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98

You're so certain that most Reds will fail that I sometimes forget who is who.
And, as I type this, Volquez digs the hole deeper.

Pitching and defense.
3 run shot. 5-1 Brewers. He just looks lost on the mound right now. No control of where his pitches are going to go. Looks like a lack of confidence to me.
Absolutely. Volquez didn't struggle last season.

Another change on a 2 strike count, hammered (or often layed off).

So there was the changeup.......and there went the changeup. Bad Location.
Forget what pitches are being called......it is bad location.
So now can we start blaming the WBC?
Do we really need to get into this? Please move on or take it private.
Hitters are waiting on the change -- the book on Volquez seems to be that he won't throw a fastball in the zone on a 2-strike count.

[QUOTE=Falls City Beer;1835665]Volquez? No.
Cueto, yes. Still feel that way.
/QUOTE]
You were ready to put Cueto in the bullpen after 1-2 starts last year?
Do you even remember his first start?
Correct and the curve he cannot locate most of the time, so if it's in the zone it's a change.
