La Velle's 3-2 Pitch: Three observations and two predictions on Sundays.
. . .
Emilio Pagán was effective for the first two months of last season before the wheels fell off the apple cart in June. He had an 11.42 ERA that month, blew three save opportunities and was inconsistent the rest of the season.
On Wednesday, Pagán entered a game against the Dodgers in the seventh inning, walked two batters, gave up a grand slam and saw his ERA rise to 5.60.
It suggests that Pagán isn't waiting for the June swoon.
