the 1st inning didn't hurt him too much though.

Being over or around the plate isn't the problem.

Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine have made a career out of it.

It's about location and being able to change your speed. Beckett was having issues with that, but I think the Yankees picked something up on him.

He doesn't vary his speed enough and he doesn't get much movement when he does throw. 97 is a good speed to maintain but if that's all you throw then you have a problem. Plus, if you stay up high then that's an invitation to a disaster.
