The Rockies' lefty is in the middle of a long road back to Denver, but at least one thing is certain: he's saying all the right things.
Modesto, Calif. -- It's not a stretch to say the last 18 months have been among the most difficult in Tyler Matzek's life. The lefty is just 25 years old, still young enough to impact the Colorado Rockies again one day, and yet a maddening inability to throw strikes created by a very public bout of anxiety has left the pitcher quite literally fighting for his career.
