I think I've figured out why Tek calls for the "half standing up" high strike so often as the K pitch. It is his kryptonite. He can't lay off it, so he must think it's the most dominating pitch in baseball.
Wow, that graphic showing the pitch location is pretty telling. I like a patient hitter, but that's ridiculous. Swing the bat, Youk. You get called out on strikes so often because you fish too hard for walks.
It's nothing. It's only two games. Now they have to try and beat the Yankees at the Stadium, which they can't do. The pressure is on the Tribe. [/jacko]

The whole, "they really bounce back from an embarrassment" stuff is really funny. No chance that has something to do with selective memory? Look over the gamelogs. They have some good streaks and some bad streaks after shellackings, with both examples in the 1st half and 2nd half. It's a big fat pile of wishful thinking.
The better pitcher wins tonight's game. Not the team with a higher COR.
