So any ball with break on it that catches the back of the plate, or breaks enough that the catcher catches is behind the plate but it may have missed the plate by a few inches as it got to the front of the plate, it's not a strike here. Plus there is always the old saying that if you are throwing strikes you will get a few calls that weren't strikes. Harang may have gotten a few of those calls. As a Reds fan, I won't complain a bit lol.

How does this compare to similiar starts at the same time of year? I know many people are saying his velocity is down. From what I remember and looking back at Gameday for his first two starts last year - this seems like very typical early season velocity for Harang I enjoyed the information.
