JFP

I missed last nights game and don't want to watch the replay for obvious reasons. Can anyone tell me how JFP's arm looked last night? The "sliders" he was throwing against Tampa in his last start were the STRAIGHTEST sliders I've ever seen in my life, it was like he had forgotten how to pitch.

 

Does it seem he's getting some bite back into it and some life in that arm?

Great first 3 innings, as he was pitching to all 4 quadrants. Then, it seemed like he threw every pitch down the plate for the next 3 innings. The Indians players were swinging from their heels against him. His slider was better than against Tampa, but still nowhere near what it used to be. His fastball was better early on, but it seemed like he ran out of gas after 30 pitches.

To me his slider was his out pitch last year, really tight with the late breaking action that made him dominant in those few starts we saw out of him in 2009. If he cannot get that back along with his location on the fastball, this is going to get really ugly.
