Light at the end of a ... funnel

The most thoroughly covered in media Dodgers reliever, Danys Baez, apparently sees the light at the end of the tunnel (though "funnel" might be a more proper word here). He sorted out his pitch selection during the one and two third innings outing yesterday afternoon at Coors Field. Says Baez:

"But that kind of game makes you know you're making
the right adjustments. ... I've been trying to work on my
off-speed pitches. Hitters were starting to sit on my fastball.
I just have to believe in my pitches. I was a starter before.
I have a good curveball, a good splitter, a good changeup.
Now they can't sit on one pitch".

That's true, they can't- that's the good news. The bad news? Most of us still keep sitting... at the end of our seats when Baez enters the game. I wish the narrow end of the funnel was wider for me to see a glimpse of Danny's seeing.
