But it's only effective when he can set it up with a good fastball. And he didn't have a good fastball for the first half of the season. Frankly, he was looking a lot like Freddy Garcia, circa 2007.

Seriously, though, I didn't see the game tonight and I'm curious what Myers' velocity was. Is he throwing in the mid-90s again? Or is he racking up strikeouts through deception?
