Memo to Vazquez

[Dam8610]

Please STOP throwing your curveball. You have 4 excellent other pitches that you can use. In addition to this, your curveball flat out sucks, and it seems that every time you throw it, you hang it, and it burns you. So please, start using only your two fastballs, your changeup, and your slider. You should benefit greatly from this.

His problems won't end with abandoning the curveball. Instead of rolling curveballs he'll now hang sliders.

 

Nimbling tendencies probably won't end, either.

Why do you think that about the sliders?

[DonkeyKongerko]

Well he gave up four runs on one slider last time out. I don't think you're a very good pitching coach.

Vazquez's curveball was his out pitch. He would probably have an era in the 3's if he still had his curveball. But, he lost it. That was his strikeout pitch. If you noticed, most of he damage off of him comes with 2 strikes on the better. He either needs to find a new out pitch, or get his curveball back.
