When my wife and I had our youngest last year, we had the most horrid pregnancy. I was a walking zombie for 6 months until we were certain he was okay. I had a hard time putting on a brave face even for my oldest child. So PERHAPS... the birth of his healthy child, lifted a massive weight of his shoulders.
I know for myself, my work, relationships, and personal life suffered tremendously through those months of uncertainty and fear. Once we knew we were in the clear, the proverbial weight of the world was lifted off my shoulders too.

He is 8-6-2 with a .899 save percentage so technically better but still not good enough in my opinion. What we hasn't been is consistent, he's all over the map with equal good and horrible games, a few average thrown in.
