He's trying to do too much right now. He wants to turn this thing around. It seems like the harder he tries the worse his stuff becomes.

More John Flaherty on Wikipedia.We've been seeing some good things from Randy. We're starting to see that Randy Johnson attitude that we've been looking forward to seeing.
We saw a lot more strikeouts looking inside, which we haven't seen all year from Randy. He was able to keep that ball in there, keep it straight in there where it's not running back over the plate.
Mariano tried to go in on him, which is the book: try and tie him up inside. But he got us again.
As Mike Mussina says, it became mindless for him. He wasn't thinking about his mechanics. Everything was just falling into place. I think that's why we saw the emotion, the intimidation. The velocity is up. His slider is nasty.
To be up, 3-0, and not be able to stretch it out, ... that's probably where we lost it.
The ball was jumping out of his hand. His velocity jumped up with it, his slider was tighter and he had a dominating performance.
With him, it was never a question of ability, it was whether he could get it over the plate.
From the way he warmed up and what happened the first three innings, we thought it was going to be a fun day for us. It just got out of hand in the fourth.
