00:00Is he fixable?
00:01I mean, here's a thing that I wonder about.
00:05Last night, 23 swings and misses.
00:09This is most in any game in eight years.
00:12Now, most of them came early.
00:14What was the deal early?
00:16There was nobody on base.
00:17He was out of the windup.
00:18When he gets in the stretch, you know what the opponent's OPS is?
00:23It's over 1,000.
00:25He's basically from the stretch turning every opposing hitter.
00:30Into Aaron Judge, and that's not going to work.
00:32I don't know how to explain it.
00:35I used to wonder if he was maybe tipping in some way.
00:37But his stuff, his rhythm, they both were nowhere near the same last night
00:43once he got into trouble and had a pitch out of the stretch.
00:46Ricky, am I right?
00:47Oh, you're 100% right.
00:49I mean, the one thing that I've realized with Nola is that, like you said,
00:54when he's pitching in the windup, he seems very confident, very comfortable.
00:58Somebody gets on base, and I think they ruin his timing.
01:02Look, let's face it, Jason.
01:05His timing has been off ever since the pitch clock started.
01:09Everything changed for Aaron Nola.
01:12Yes.
01:12That's exactly right.
01:14And ADPS is another factor in that.
01:16Yeah, you're absolutely right.
01:18What do you think?
01:18Oh, I think you're 100% right.
01:20And you're like, I don't know how to fix that.
01:23I don't either.
01:24I don't know how you fix this.
01:26It seemed like last – I said before last night's game,
01:30I could see him going six innings, two in runs, and that's it in a game like this.
01:34And he goes out there in his first three, he looked special.
01:37And then all of a sudden, that guy from last year showed up.
01:41Yeah.
01:42So, all those swings and misses, doesn't that tell you that there's something there
01:47that they should be able to figure out?
01:50Where if you get a five-run lead and he's on the mound, you feel like you're still going to
01:54win?
01:55You don't feel like that right now, and it's strange.
01:57Thank you very much.
01:58Thank you very much.
