Harden suddenly thinks he has been moved to the bullpen
Someone tell him that, as a starting pitcher, he is allowed to throw strikes
Ball four
back to back walks. Bases loaded, Tejada comes out. This is what, the THIRD time Harden has struggled by the third inning?
"That’s the great thing about baseball, you never know what’s going to happen till you get the final out." — Lou Piniella
and it's always because he completely loses the strike zone.
