    What happened to Greinke?
    This guy was one of the top pitchers in baseball last year, this year he is hot garbage. He's afraid to throw a strike, his velocity is down. He has really regressed. Is it simply that he got his money and doesn't care? I can't believe that, but man any other explanation escapes me.

                    smitch, I don't have the answer but zero chance that's the reason.

                    who knows. it's well known he battled a social anxiety disorder before his golden years in LA. maybe those issues have resurfaced? Dontrelle Willis finished Cy Young runner up one season and then quickly turned info hot garbage.

                    It's scary.

                      I didn't watch tonight's game but 6 IP, 1er, 4k's is a quality start. The 4bb stand out tho. In the beginning of the season we can chalk it up to new ballpark but at this point maybe he's still nursing an injury?

                          He is not as good as he was last year, and not as bad as he has been this year.

                          No idea why he got such a huge contract. Don't teams realize how important strikeouts are, and he is not an elite strikeout guy.

                            If domaphobia is contagious, that would explain why Greinke and Drew Brees aren't golfin' buddies.

                                Well you insinuated that playing home games in a dome somehow triggered a crippling flare-up of some pre-existing medical condition known to the lay people as "domaphobia" and I'm not privy to this affliction. I'd like to borrow the medical journal in which this information is presented and how the disease cuts short the careers of pro athletes who play a bevy of indoor games.

                                      Pitching in Arizona behind that defense is not the same as pitching in Los Angeles and behind a far superior defense behind him. He went for the money doesn't care about winning.
