BP: Wainwright

[Phyrkrakr]

I noticed that Wainwright doesn't have great control with his fastball. I think he has better control with his amazing curveball than his fastball. He was missing up high with his fastball a lot. Isn't that a sign that you're tired?

Generally speaking, missing with pitches up late in the game is a sign of being tired. You stop bending as much and following through as the spring in the legs gets worn down. I don't know if that's what AW's specific problem was, but it could have been.
