Forum Post: Release Mike Napoli!
He's probably in a slump. As I try to explain to you once in a while, always fruitless, the .944 was a mirage. He had a 40/7 K/W to go with the .944. The OPS will always come to reflect the K/W. Th more »

In response to dannycater's comment: Strikeouts are horrible outs, whether they are 10-pitch at bats or not, they are useless to your team. As for putting the ball in play, you just increase the odds more »

That is not really a counterpoint to my post. Some hitters and some pitchers consistently perform better under pressure than do others. This also applies to place kickers , free throw shooters and jus more »
