Way to keep the steady hand at the tiller, mate. The over-arcing point ... a "21 year old who is rusty" ... that's going to be tough to defeat if yer stick with it.

On the curve ... ya, yesterday the results looked pretty good. My own thinking:
A change curve is a vurrrrrrry dangerous pitch to mess with unless you got it nailed (Iwakuma has abandoned his)
Big overhand curves don't usually get called for strikes
He threw it only 11 times (like is a WR reverse is a bread-and-butter play because 2 reverses got 21 yards?)
From a visual standpoint, it was scary
But yeah. So far this year I would definitely call the curve his #2 pitch. If he could just get a little sharper with that, or with anything, he could keep the QS comin'.
And like we sez, that's what he's been GIVING the M's -- 2-run short starts.
