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

sorry, awful wasn't the right word, he just isn't built for pressure situations

FIP > ERA, OBP > AVG
what the fuck
they are bringing in a RIGHTY to pitch to Studwick?
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
are we going to go over reverse splits
just because Luddy does better against Righties doesn’t mean that a Righty pitcher isn’t better against Ludwick than Okajima. What’s Okajima’s split vs. this pitcher’s?
hansen is .265 .355 .395 against RHB, .333 .384 .515 against LHB. for all intents and purposes, ludwick should count as a LHB so it would seem to be a significant mistake. okajima is .203 .255 .313 against RHB and .236 .289 .350 against LHB. better across the board, and a lower differential.
FIP > ERA, OBP > AVG
i don't think that's right
from my look at it Righties kill Okajima much more than lefties, both in his career and this year.
simple career splits by OPS
okajima: RHB hit .696, LHB hit .624
hansen: RHB hit .617, LHB hit .789
using these two pitchers, if it’s a RHB you want hansen and if it’s a LHB you want okajima.
ludwick: .870 against RHP, .756 against LHP
ludwick has a natural advantage against RHP. okajima (LHP) was replaced by hansen (RHP) to face ludwick. if one were to only consider ludwick’s reverse split, this would seem to be a big mistake. if his reverse split causes him to hit like a “LHB” against hansen, it’s even bigger. i shouldn’t assume that reverse hitter splits play that way into standard pitcher splits, though – i’ll see if i can find out whether he counts as a “RHB” or “LHB” from the other side.
FIP > ERA, OBP > AVG
the only thing I don't like
is that the KSDK announcers are not good enough to call this sort of game.

We walked a runner in during the 8th. He walked a weak ass batter trying to get him to chase an outside corner pitch, which tends to be a double play ball.
Giving him a hard time doesn’t make too much since considering the entire context of this game.

Agreed
Although that heartbreaker where we came back off Mather’s jacked dong was pretty sweet too.

the best part about games like this
is even we lose, we still won a series that no one on earth thought we’d win

Are we going to need

A thread trifecta?

Villone should end it quickly

Villone,
if you ever had a sack, right now is the time to prove it.
Sack up, you Sally.
