    He certainly found the zone last night.

    It helped tremendously that the ump gave him a Tom Glavine zone, as opposed to the normal one he'd called for both sides for most of the night.

    Arguably his better form was when he wasn't trying to take a little off for command and was just being wild, as that missed bats. He tried to take a little off for command and lessened his ability to miss bats in the process. The effectively wild pitcher actually can work better out of the bullpen!
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
