Methinks there was a crossed wire somewhere. I'm kind of surprised that the Red Sox didn't think of having El Pedro wring it out in a little extra spring training, or a couple of rehab gigs in Triple-A, to get his timing, his rhythm, and his focus back. What little I could pick up of the game, it sounded to me as though the rhythm is hesitant and the focus isn't as broad as it is normally. He'll be back, but I can't help thinking a little extra spring training or about three rehab starts mightn't have helped him more.
