It's just

As fans, I'm sure we all are just so frustrated because we know what the ceiling is and what it should be.

A good comparison is what Okamoto is doing, and we've talked extensively about his adjustments and all that, but watch him.

I think if Vlade gets back on the fastball, you're still going to look silly on some breaking balls, and that's okay.

But you'll be hammering fastballs, and you'll be on the hangar.

That's what you want.

You'll chase some sliders down the way.

Okamoto still does it, and that's okay.

But I think that's the first step in the right direction for him right now.

It's not Dalton Varsha to me.

It just looks different this year, guys.

I'm not sure why.

It looks like he's lost a step in center field.

You see the reads are a little off.

The speed looks like it's down a hair.

He's battled some leg injuries, I know, some bottom half, the shoulder surgery last year.

I'm not even talking about the throwing arm.

I disregard that.

But just looks a little bit different out there.

Made a great catch last night.
