I would never throw Barrera anything other than off speed stuff. 

This team, as a whole, is really struggling with off speed pitches.  They're guessing a lot. 

 

[Johnstark23]

You have got to trust your hands. This is why I think I move Tres and Cantu up on the plate and shorten them up a half inch on the stick that makes them react instead of think?

BTW joeywa, how is Aus doing, I haven't asked in awhile
