Every few outings, Ben Brown turns in an appearance where you understand the hype and excitement. He mows down hitters and looks like a legitimate big-league rotation piece.
Then, he gets knocked around his next three or four outngs and you're left scratching your head. Nobody is questioning the potential - but he's yet to live up to it, at least on a consistent basis. But he's doing a good job of rewriting the narrative this spring, thanks to a blossoming confidence and a new-look arsenal.
Brown sounds like a totally different pitcher - and that makes sense.
