His other problem was too many balls on the slider too. You might get some swinging strikes, but you have to put your slider in the zone some the first couple innings. If you don't, the adjustment becomes don't swing at slider.

If you are going to set up the swing and miss slider, it's either got to be really damn good, or you have to give the batters some in the zone looks at it so they can't eliminate it.
