I've just never been a Matt Moore guy...
Uber-talented Moore has always gotten praise for his clean mechanics and smooth delivery, plus fastball, and solid slider, but it never materialized into good control and solid numbers. Those horrible, horrible walks... Moore's K zone looks like a star chart!

I'm at a loss for words I'm so confused! But I hadn't seen him pitch since hitting the DL after two starts last year, and maybe a reconstructed elbow can help. "He's more machine now, than man!" Well let's hope it helps the horrific walk rate! Here's how he looked yesterday hosting the Astros, along with ranks for pitchers for the second half:
