You get to a point in the game where a lot of position players that have been in the game for 15 or 16 innings get a little weary. The legs can get tired and your concentration wanes.

I don't think he ever had a real good feel for his mechanics and release point. Whether it was related to the ball hitting him in the knee or not, I don't know. He always battles you, whether he has his best stuff or not. He has an ability to focus even when he's in pain. It was just a day when the Cardinals were better than us.
