Started game one of the playoffs.

One game.

No issues.

I've seen that more and more, I feel like, where mounds have given him trouble.

And the second things start to go wrong, he's stomping on the mound, trying to get the dirt clamped down.

I do wonder a little bit if he's become a little too sensitive to where his foot lands and what it feels like.

And every mound is slightly different, but he loves the Kauffman Stadium mound.

I think that...

if you're looking for something and this is, I have no basis for it except for what I watch on television and at the park, it feels like he's comfortable at home and not comfortable elsewhere.

I don't know if that's true, but he gave up fewer home runs last year in what was it?

61 innings or whatever that he has on the road in 20 innings this year.

And he,

he's got to figure it out.

And I mentioned it last night too.

You wonder a little bit, is it as simple as,

He was looking incredible in Cleveland, got hit in the thumb, and then his next two starts struggled, and those skewed the numbers.

Because they did.

12 of the 20 walks were in those two starts.

He did throw six shutout innings against the Tigers.

So, you know, that's good.
