Randy Johnson is supposed to strike out hitters like Chris Woodward, not get ahead 1-2 and walk him. Justice was making excuses all through his analysis. He went after A-Rod last week pretty hard which was perfectly fine, but please apply the same principle to Randy. Johnson is not living up to the bargain. He has not been able to put away .230 hitters that foul off pitch after pitch and then walk to extend innings. This is the Randy we will see the rest of the year. Up and down. He'll suck you back in with a couple of good outings and then BOOM. He's back to pitching batting practice.
