Ankiels mental makeup

really must be quite awful. Playoff pitching = loses his control , etc…
the hgh story breaks = forgets how to hit the ball
important at bats = strikes out every time

Someone needs to sit the guy down and teach him not to get so amped up. Hell, give him some xanax before he bats
