One game does not a season (or career) make.

No, it does not, but when you're struggling, if you make a small change and suddenly it works, the most important thing it does? Confidence. Javy may walk out of this inning feeling like he's found his marbles.

 

And Vazquez + Marbles should scare the daylights out of the AL.

Just walked in and came here first, sounds like Javy is holding his own. Earlier in the week it sounded like Coop and he had changed something up.

 

Who knows....

He did. Coop is having him stand over towards first base more and keeping his bottom half down.

 

 

Javy has looked excellent. Like, really, really good.

So....we can get Javy into the 8th. Maybe the 9th from Cotts or Riske and that's game.

 

Maybe even Javy in the 9th if he has a quick 8th.

95 pitches through the end of the 7th. Give him the 8th, or at least let him start it, since it's the bottom of the Jays' order. Let Cotts have the 9th, just to try to give him some more chances to get it right again when the game isn't on the line.

Believe me, nothing would make me happier.

OK, for argument's sake, let's just say that Javy has turned a corner. Why did it take so long, do you think? Maybe Vazquez finally decided to let Coop change whatever he thought necessary, whereas before he wanted to pitch his own way?

Ever have a bad habit someone was trying to break you of? Every time Vazquez got nervous, or got runners on in his last few starts, he'd get nervous, and his technique would start breaking down. And he'd go back to trying to nibble, and he'd start throwing a lot of balls, and then he'd get hurt. He didn't have the confidence in what he was doing to really focus.

 

I bet that Cooper coming out in the 5th after that walk was really important today.
