On the lack of change ups... I wonder how much fastball command and a slower fastball had to do with this choice?
Also, and maybe I just missed them, but it sure seemed that Erasmo was pounding the lower zones - and only on few occasions trying to beat guys going up the ladder with fastballs... and if he isn't going up the ladder with fastballs, then the change thrown for a strike is just an ordinary change-up... cuz it isn't working off of the fastball.
Also, on Erasmo's lack of aggressiveness, I wonder if the lack of command took away his aggressiveness and his confidence... as it was not too long ago he was coming back from injury, and he did not have command then either.
I am sure we won't know ansers to these without seeing him pitch a couple more times... I just hope he gets a chance.
