I mean late last year he was apparently tipping his change... if old Rodney was tipping his change the batter still wouldn't know if they were getting his two or four seam when he didn't show the tip, whereas when the latest Rodney was pitching if the batters had a good book on him they knew exactly what he was gonna throw.

I go to Seattle every time the Jays play there. I remember in 2014 when he came out of the pen, as a Jays fan, you knew it was over and the Mariners fans knew it as well.
When I went back in July, the Seattle fans did a collective sigh, and the Jays roughed him up.
Interesting that's the reason why there was such a shift. I knew he sucked last year, but had no idea why until you pointed it out. I thought it may have been just age.
