I think you might be on to something. I never bought into the stupid night/day/vampire splits that the media was so obsessed with. Another thing that might have been the case early on in the season as it was late last season, is that Harden didn't seem to know how to pitch with even the slightest discomfort. Maybe he's learning how to adjust and is becoming more of a "pitcher" and not a "thrower" after a prolonged period of poor results, the first time in his career. Sometimes pitchers grow up when they go through hard times and are forced to adapt.
