Girardi said Cervelli’s poor throws of late were just a matter of changing some mechanics.
“It’s similar to, with a pitcher, if that front shoulder flies a little bit early, that ball’s taking off,” Girardi said. “And that’s what’s happening with him. You’re talking about if he stays in maybe a second longer, that’s it. A second or two longer.”
