Petricka just lacks a strikeout pitch, which causes him to try and be too fine. He easily gets 2 strikes on a hitter and lets them either get a hit or walk.

Yup same with quintana

What's up with Petricka's control this year. He's already walked 5 guys this year. He only had 18 all of last season.

Hawk was saying they were worried about it in spring training. I have always liked him, but if he isn't going to throw stirikes, give him a Knights uniform and call someone else up.

Agreed. Just weird. Almost as if he has the YIPS or something.

His k rate was pretty low last year. I think he got too hung up on it. Spring training he struck out 11 in 9 innings and he has 4 in 2 innings so far. IMO he is trying to be too perfect trying to get the k instead of throwing his sinker and getting grounders.
