So Zito

He's put together a string of not-so-bad starts. Yea, I've made a point to watch a bit of em. An its been a bit strange to see. Hes got this leg kick now, kinda hoffman-esque. Iono when that started, maybe for a while, but it looks weird. Regardless, the last few starts it seemed like he had found some of that lost velocity. Maybe not 88-90 like old times but still uper 80s. Today not so much. Velocity was pretty miserable, on the tv gun at least, but his offspeed stuff was fantastic. Like really fantastic, curve was sharp, change had great movement, even saw a few good sliders, think those were to Hawpe. That said, I'm still wary when people proclaim him "back." Still just a handful of starts, and the first few of the season were pretty damn miserable. The lowerd walk rate is encouraging put he still isnt missing any bats. As much as I like the guy, I just cant get myself to believe that zito continue this small run of success, let alone get back to where he was with the A's. hey, I'll be watching tho, even if he isn't striking anyone out, his stuff does look a load better. If he can get up to "Barry Zito, shitty innings eater" instead of "Barry Zito, play him out of obligation to insane contract," I'll consider that a success considering he looked absolutely finished the last few seasons.
