It might be they haven't looked at any video of his mechanics. Often times, pitching coaches like to see first-hand a pitcher's mechanics, but eh problem is that the naked high can't pick up subtle changes to one's mechanics, which is why the use of video is so important.

He determines that Joba has a bit of a timing issue, and essentially it’s causing his arm to drag a bit. Eisenberg advises Joba to “sit down a little more, keep your hands low, [and] aggressively step-over into foot plant” to solve the problem. What he said.

It was coming on the heels of pitching well but also from fixing a hitch in his delivery in which he took the ball out of his glove and paused for a while before getting into his delivery. I think he started lifting his glove higher to keep his hands from breaking with a hitch but overcompensated. It looks like he's pitching too high, using too much upper body and not really syncing up with his lower body. He was never great at driving with his hands but it's worse now. His delivery has been a mess all season. You should check out his early season hitch, his fix after the all-star break.
