Not many worries there with Erasmo I don't think Justin.  That was *originally* his Achilles' heel the first go-round -- over-challenging with the heater, out and over.  He came back with a sense of danger.
Agreed 100% on the general issue of throwing too many strikes.  We mention the 8 strikes in a row just as an illustration of correcting mechanics on-the-fly during an ML game.  IIRC the 8 strikes were mostly offspeed pitches, which if correct is another tip of the cap for Montero.

Team CERA's, as we wrap up the season:
Olivo - 3.87
Montero - 3.85
Jaso - 3.47 (a large % of which are Felix games)
There are things you can infer from that, and things you can't.  One thing you CAN infer is that Miguel Olivo is NOT miles ahead of the other two when it comes to managing pitchers.  Even if he were in theory, it did not affect anything that occurred in the ballpark in 2012.  Unless maybe you're talking about the development of Erasmo or Beavan, and that's a stretch, too.
