.200 OPS .200 OPS .200 OPS

41 PAs with a <.200 OPS

With no evidence to the contrary, Colby Rasmus is clutch

by joker24 on May 24, 2008 12:29 AM EDT reply actions  

30 PAs

That’s what TLR used to base his decision of batting AK in the leadoff spot.

by lightbulb on May 24, 2008 12:30 AM EDT up reply actions  

actually

it had more to do with him having a lot of success off Lowe in his career. 368 was his average I believe.

Ahh gotcha.

but that’s not really a small sample size against a particular pitcher. That’s A LOT of pitches.

I’m certainly not justifying AK batting leadoff, but it makes since that he’s in the lineup.

And regardless how he hit Lowe 2+ years ago has absofuckinglutely nothing to do with how he’s going to hit him tonight.

3-2

sounds better than 3-0 or 3-1

But really, couldn’t they have just let Frank throw a pitch or two more?

wasn't just Albert

we had Albert, Luddy and Glaus facing him that night. Ah well, we caught him during a game where he was “on”.

at least the other two games weren’t even close to a save situation

even not factoring in the 3-2 count. Just call the damn game. Unless the rain in the ravine has already stopped (and it might have)

With TLR calling Franklin wiry strong

it makes me think about the Replacements(Football Movie with Keanu Reeves) where there is a Welsh kicker who smokes on the field and kicks 55 yard field goals. They call him wiry too.
