Wed, 05 Jun 2013 15:48:28 -0700 Oakland Athletics RP Sean Doolittle has been struggling lately, and he noticed a mechanical flaw after watching film of his performances lately. "I'm flying open just a touch," Doolittle said. "My hips were coming open a little bit too soon, and I think I was showing them the ball a little bit too early and it was taking away some of the life that I have on my fastball, because I wasn't staying behind it as long. So we did some mechanic work this morning, felt really good throwing, so I feel really confident if I get in there today."
