LOL@ grammar FAIL, yes, erectile.

^ Served. You had it coming, i hate to say.

You did perfectly in the post before this one, so why go ahead and deliver this bastion of fail of a post?
-
Looking at it that way, i suppose you do have a point. Hat's off to you.

On 0-2, no, but what about 1-2, 2-2, and 3-2? Also, he adjusted his stance, you need to compare his stance in mid-april to his current one, and you'll see that adjustments have been made. No matter how good your swing, or how much power you can generate, it's all moot if you don't hack at pitches you can handle. The cheating fastball though seems to still be a problem, i will concede that.

I didn't explain myself very well. I meant find stats that can reflect the effectiveness of a LOOGY. That's why they're usually analized at face value, and at face value, Lopez sucked.

Probably both, and that's the beauty of it.

FAIL Indeed. This is an universal truth. WIN.

Not really, but you fail to see the point here. It's pitch selection. Why the insistence on going the other way when you've had at least 2 pithces in your wheelhouse every AB in the game including that one?

Siganture.Worthy.

You're conveniently ignoring the fact that he was a LOOGY, Doij, he's a guy that's used to get a guy or two out, then hit the showers. Let me ask you this, and you should answer honestly: How many times did we see this? Red Sox- Yankees: 7th inning, tie game. Lopez gets called on to face Matsui and Cano. Matsui flies out to right. Cano walks. Did he do his job? That is the tying run right there, on a WALK, and a reliever who can't throw strikes is useless, and in Lopez' case, dangerous, why? I mean he got one out, but he left the winning run ON BASE, that's not what a LOOGY's supposed to do, he can give up the hit, but walks are totally unacceptable, and that was exactly the Lopez special. I seriously hope you're joking by trying to use ERA + to try to measure a one or two hitter reliever, because you're doing it wrong. Javier Lopez sucks monkey tits, he sucked in '07, he sucked in '08, and he sucks now.

I still think Ortiz's problems are mental, really. I can't help but think, after seeing the swing that produced that wall-ball double, that his biggest enemy right now is himself, since he's been laying off pitches in his power zone (middle, middle in) while trying to look for pitches he can drive the other way, and that's not how it works, is he still avoiding some inside pitches because of the wrist, has he lost confidence, or is he simply not selecting the correct pitches to drive, is he looking FB all the time? And another thing i've noticed, is that he does not look comfortable up there with 2 strikes, a suspicion i had that was confirmed when ESPN showed his 2-strike BA, which was a mere ,186, and that can't continue if he is to be succesful.

Didn't think about it until afterwards. CRAWFORD K'S, PAPS HOUDINIS OUT OF THIS ONE, DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN!

Genius. Hat's off to you.
