Not too much damage done. But this isn't the same Patterson of yesteryear. Something is really wrong here.
What you think is his problem? Is it somethin wrong with his mechanics? Is it somethin mentally? COuld it be the eighties look? I had high expectations for him. He can still meet him tho.
I personally think it is mental. We've seen this guy pitch some great games and they are in him but something is screwing him mentally. He just isn't as aggressive as he was last year and the year before when healthy.
Was Patterson our ace lsat year too before he got injured(i mean, was he the opening day or number 1 pitcher). Maybe the high expectations of being "the guy" on our staff is too much pressure for him.
Maybe that injury and Frank's impatience did permanent damage?
