So far, the pitching staff looks the best it has in years. I can't wait to see where he takes the staff to this and the next year. He seems to be finally getting to Josh and AJ. Both are starting to become students of the game rather than getting by on pure stuff alone.

I agree. It could also be naturally progressing maturity for those guys, and also the influence of Al Leiter.

or the fact that they saw Pavano last year have an all-star year by being a student of the game although his stuff is no where near as good as theirs. So maybe that got them thinking: What if I did the same?

come on, it's been only a week since the season began!!!

I have seen a change in our pitchers. And I believe Wiley is responsible for that. Thats why I posted that FFPR.

you cant judge this guy based on the opening week

 

it comes down to if the guys respect him and keep it going all year

So far so good.

 

We've had superb performances by both the rotation and bullpen.

 

This could be the strongest pitching staff we've ever had.

This staff is about to be tested in the next three days so we'll get to see if its for real or not.
