It's pouring. Why didn't that ump expand the zone more.

It is not that easy with rain coming down that hard and ball getting wet.

He entered Sunday with a 5.57 ERA in 24 games. Batters were hitting .291 against him.

His mechanics may be out of sync, sapping movement and derailing the accuracy of his sinkers and sliders.

He does not know exactly how to restore himself.

"The best thing to do is just keep throwing, try to find that grove, that sequencing, where you can go out there and feel smooth everyday," he said before Sunday's finale against the Rangers. "It's not like you're out there trying to feel for something all the time. This year it's been trying to find that grip and that flow to my delivery. Everything's not syncing up at the same time on any given day.

"It's like hitting too. Sometimes it's just not little things timed right. For what works for you, it can throw off the whole thing. I've got to find that one thing that I'm missing."

"I felt great in spring training," he said. "The ball was coming out of my hand the best it's ever felt. Then for something like this, where I cant get that timing back, I don't know what it is.

He has faced 30 batters when the Astros have had a one-run lead this season. They have batted .320 and scored four runs off Gregerson.

"Some days it's there, some days it's not," he said of his struggle to feel those pitches confidently. "Consistency with accuracy has been a bit of an issue. Days where it's not on, it's like, do I adjust to where I'm throwing it now to make it a strike?"

The decline of Gregerson is emphasized by the dominant arms that surrounding him. His damage would be worse were he not part of a top-5 bullpen in the AL.

"It's probably one of the only things that keeps me sane right now," he said. "We've got a team that's scoring a lot of runs and a bullpen that's shutting guys down."

He joked about Harris saving him on Saturday. Gregerson used to be the one to compensate for a faltering reliever.

"I've done that for more people than he has in his career," Gregerson said with a chuckle. "That's what we're supposed to do."

Pitching coach Brent Strom has observed Gregerson playing catch. They've talked about his mechanics. They've studied video on his motion.

They have not pinpointed the problem.

"If I knew the answer I'd go fix it now. Whatever it is, I've got to work through it."

He is searching, hoping to find something that "clicks."

"Who knows when that will be?"
