The problem with Williams this year is that the first batter he faces is getting on at a .432 clip. I'm sure it's gotten better lately but it takes him a while to get things going. Particularly problematic for the closer.

 

EDIT: But once he gets that changeup dialed in....

Matches my perspective totally. Just seems like a guy who needs to get a feel for the changeup a lot of the time...

Krod vibes, it's kinda hilarious watching guys continue to think it's gonna be the high fastball when it's almost always the low changeup. I think part of why he's successful with more runners on is guys get RBI's on their mind and overly aggressive...and the changeup makes them pay.

I know I've gotten teh same nervous vibes on Wiliams but the reality is he hasn't given up a run in like 12 outings. Obviously 0 since off the DL either. Before today he'd had 3 BBs and 3 hits in 6 innings/appearances since coming back. He's been fine. Sometimes guys are gonna blow a game though, it's baseball

 

Looking at radar. They should take a short break and just get going again
