I know this probably isn't the case and is completely out of left field...
But is it possible that Harden either decided or was told to sort of take it a little easier during the first half and then start to ramp up for the second half playoff run/postseason?
I remember when we first got him from the A's, he was pretty much unhittable. Then he got hurt and seemed out of gas at the end of September/October.
Again, I know this is crazy...but what if...WHAT IF...we get the "old" Rich Harden back just in time for the playoffs and postseason (if we get there)?
