Look at Harden's pitch speeds today.
83 mph change
84 mph change
92 mph fastball
91 mph fastball
The change of speed isn't large enough to keep the hitter off balance when you only throw a change and fastball. He either needs to take more off his change or he needs to add some velocity to his fastball. Of course, if he's hurt then he probably isn't able to do either.
