Another poor start and another bag of excuses suggesting that he had his best stuff and guys were hitting good pitches. That pitch to Aybar was NOT a good pitch, Joba. Until he realizes that he isn't at his best, he won't improve.
I'm beginning to think that a lot of the complaints from other teams, Joba's insistence to shake off the catcher, and his previous history are telling tales of this guy's persona. He's arrogant and until some vet knocks him upside the head, he's never going to be what he was projected to be.

Agree. He was saying much the same things after his last poor start and looked a bit foolish when he heard Joe's negative comments about his performance. Some of that is self-confidence, which is a good thing, and some of it is bravado. If he pulls himself out of it that way, then fine. If he needs to admit to himself that he needs help, then he better do so soon.
Me, I think he's a miscast 8th inning/closer guy.
