It's not just nibbling  Yu clearly has command issues.  Of course, his stuff is insanely good.

I think most of his command issues come from trying to be too fine, and always going for the strikeout rather than the quick out.

Also, not having the splitter has definitely altered his approach.

Going to the game this evening. It's going to be chilly, but at least no rain is expected, and not much wind.  Hoping for a better result than last time, but Bauer v. Chatwood doesn't inspire a lot of confidence.

Almora somehow manages another solid base hit against a RHP...

Good for Almora. I hope I continue to be wrong about him.

Chatwood walks his fourth hitter of the game with no outs in the third. He has mostly succeeded so far, but it hasn’t been fun to watch him.

And the third hit is a 3-run homer

Another walk and the pitching coach comes out.

Chatwood makes Edwards look like a command artist.

Chatwood our after 2 2/3, bases loaded. He has now walked 40 in 45 2/3 IP. He has to improve on that soon.

Chatwood does a deliberate waggle with his pitching hand as he delivers the ball.  Sometimes his hand stays in the glove until the last second, sometimes it's out and held high, sometimes a glove flashes and he comes immediately with the ball, the glove shielding the ball and his grip.  It's an effort to be deceptive, but since he's concentrating on his motion, he's losing focus on his target.  He's too concerned with what should be natural and not enough on result.  And Caratini doesn't help by pancaking pitches.
