I don’t have anything to say at the moment, but I did notice something interesting with him.  In the last three years, the umpire has called “ball” on him 1125, 1117, and 1122 last year.  How many called, swinging or in-play strikes?  2509, then 2309, then 2137.  He’s still got good numbers, going from a Schilling-like 69.0% to 67.4% to 65.6%.  I don’t know if it means anything, but I thought that was interesting.
