He really wasn't all that different besides his typical aging curve slide.

Yeah, while I understand that JUp is streaky, it's at least a little concerning that he's actually been very lucky with balls in play and has still been so bad. maybe his bat is just slowing down already?
There doesn't appear to be a good answer for his struggles. He's still not swing at all that many pitches out of the zone. He's not swinging more often. He's still making contact. About the only glaring difference is missing on swings of pitches outside of the zone (44% vs. 56%)

contact% career- 72.7%, this year 66.9%. (this is due to the following- contact on pitches out of the zone, career 55.6%, this year 43.8%
% of pitches swung outside of zone 27.3%; career 25.8%
% of pitches swung inside the zone 65.1%; career 67.7%
Swing % 45.5%; career 44.9%
Contact on pitches inside the zone 77.4%; career 80.5%
Essentially small margins all in worse favor. But, the only real difference is not making contact on pitches out of the zone. Im sure he's been through similar stretches before and at age 28, I'm pretty sure he returns to normalcy. not, that I wouldn't be concerned as a Tigers fan. But, looking from the outside, he could go on his typical tear.

[MENTION=99]gilesfan[/MENTION] what's the word on Austin Voth? he keeps putting up great numbers.
Its early to get concerned on J UP, but saying that I am glad we didn't sink money into a long term deal with him. I saw what I needed to see with us. It was good, but I am not sure its going to stay that way for very long with him.

Max Scherzer just tied Clemens for 20 K's in one game
He is so interesting to watch. Fangraphs mentioned he throw more fastballs down the pipe than anyone yet batters miss like a third of the time on the pitches. So, he can look absolutely dominating through an entire game, but give up 2 homers. (though he HR/FB is insanely high right now)
