Well, not exactly what I hoped for from Joba's first start, but it was progress. He got to 65 pitches still hitting 100 mph at times. He needs to start trusting his curve and change more as time goes on, but he'll get there. His control was an issue. I read something that Overbay said about him. He got 2 strikes quickly using his heat. He'd then nibble trying to get batters to chase. In the 8th, that works very well. Early in the game, it's easier to be patient, so they waited ... and walked. He'll have to re-think how he pitches now that he's starting. Hopefully, that doesn't mess with his confidence.
