I Just Can't Take It Anymore: The Mussina Thread

VNV Nation · 08-07-2002, 10:08 PM

Heard Mussina on the radio for a bit tonight. He didn't get too into specifics, but said he was having trouble with his fastball. What it sounded like, to me, was that he said he had "lost" something on the fastball, but then corrected himself to say "as far as being able to put it where I want it." And then got into trouble by coming in with off-speed pitches, which he said batters seemed to be getting good swings on lately.

Also said he needs to make better pitches with two strikes, and let batters get themselves out by expanding the strike zone.
