He's walking too many people, and even when he's not walking people, he's working too many deep counts. I think it's as simple as him needing to throw strikes.With all due respect saying Bean is trying to be too fine with his pitches is really giving him the credit for having some command of his pitches, In all honestly, watching him pitch tells me he really lacks command and that's the problem. He can't put two pitches in the same place, at this point, if he tried. Yesterday was a great example, he was all over the place throwing one over Sankey's head to the backstop. Agreed that he is always behind in the count to the batters and then has to groove his very hittable fastball.
