I guess this post-season will answer a lot of questions, like: "are they bored and not showing things:, and "can a team be so good, they can just turn it uo like the NBA?".

I don't think it's film study. I think he probably does all that as much as he ever has.
I think its reps. And not game reps, but technique reps. When pitchers are out there throwing between starts, it's not work on pitches, it's to make sure their arm slot is sound and they have the proper drive and follow through. Just keeping things honed.
I wonder if that's where some of this stuff is slipping. I just can't get over how strange his lower half looks on some of these throws. He's always been unorthodox there, but you could always find a method to his madness -- he does things other guys don't do because they CAN'T do those things and they clearly help him.
But he's doing things right now that just hurt him. And they're unforced.
And hell man, it may be none of that at all. It's all speculative as hell. It's just me thinking out loud.
