I didn't watch the game to closley, yet(have it on TIVO), but it seemed like he nibbled to much last year. Of course I thought Suppan had the same problem, and Capuano, and Bush. I have no way to prove it, but it seemed like Vargas would get to 2 strikes and wouldn't challenge hitters. It was great when you needed to use the bathroom mid inning, but other than that it made for a very long painful to watch game.
