I just wonder if it's a warm up issue. I know he typically settles down after the 1st inning, but man is this frustrating to watch. Now he can't throw strikes.
Some may not know, but Lowenstein actually was an infielder/outfielder in the minors and played 70 games at 2B at the major league level before that game, so it wasn't a huge stretch for him to be there. He just hadn't played 2B since 1975.
