You’d hope that the work he did in the off season would have improved his fundamentals but it feels like he’s a ways off.

I agree. In pitching, when things go that badly as they did last season, combined with his ego, and size, it takes awhile to get it all right. I thought it would take until the playoffs realistically to get it right. I hope this isn’t a long term problem but that’s the risk you take with a bigger body and being able to push working out. I know some mentioned Halliday but he was work horse apparently. From what I understand teams are also limited how they can interact and train players in the offseason so that’s another reason why I think Manoah will take a few months to get that whole thing right.
