“I remember being a rookie (in Colorado) and getting into some trouble in games, falling behind on counts, and I’d look over at Todd (Helton), and Todd would give me a stern look, ‘Let’s go,’” Brothers said. “I always seemed to respond pretty well to that, so I just told ‘Rossy’: ‘Let me know if you need more out of me.

“Right now it’s when in doubt, that fastball has been good for him. At the same time, when you see a hitter cheating to it, you can throw the changeup. He’s throwing a lot of changeups for strikes, and then he has that wipeout slider. He’s getting that curveball over for strike one a lot.
