I'm watching the Angels game tonight. Lackey is cruising and then has one terrible inning (not the first time this has happened). During the bad inning I noticed that Lackey pulled the ball out of his glove very early. The grip could easily be seen. I'm not sure what he was doing in previous innings. But, in the later innings (when he was back in control) he was hiding it much better.
I don't have any tape to refer back to. But, I wonder if this has been happening a lot when he gets tired. Check it out for yourself. Someone should inform the Angels (if they haven't already figured it out).
