As I sit and watch this game tonight there appears to be something glaringly wrong with C.C. and Kaz. First off, Crawford has been on first twice tonight without even an bluff at taking second. I know he had a sore knee and had said he was “rejuvenated” when he came off his suspension. He isn’t looking so tonight. It really stuck out to me when I saw the homer that Freddy Sanchez hit. That looked like a ball Carl could’ve gotten to and he looked Uptonesque as he went after that ball. We’ll see there. I’m very concerned watching Kaz tonight though. He is looking very uncomfortable as he throws very timidly tonight. His slider is looking like a curveball and his fastball looks very average. He appears to be moving around gingerly as well. I’m very nervous watching this game. I hope my eyes are deceiving me and these guys aren’t hurt. We’ll see.
