Ha. I remember at first it was he “lost velocity to gain more command of the fastball.” Guess they needed a new story after his walk rate stayed virtually the same.

Just think how fast Tim Wakefield or Jamie Moyer must throw in PutzWorld

Well he did throw a lot more changeups

But.. basically.. K-Rod is a moron.
