He's a Yoda.  Or a Zen Master.  Or David Carradine after he was a Grasshopper.  Or a goulash of Maddux/Moyer/Whitey Ford. 

AS a batter you expect each offering to roll off the table.  With Diaz you start early.  With 'Kuma you start low.  And then he just goes lower.

Sometimes a pitcher just understands more than the next guy.  That isn't smoke and mirrors, btw...that is talent.

But it is easy to foget that a God-given fastball isn't any more "God-given" than a God-given make-up/mentality.  It truly enjoyable watching him pitch.  His stuff is probably unteachable.  It is art, not a set of learned skills.  

Go team.
