In Houston Wild pitch, runners on 2nd and 3rd with two outs in the eighth... down 10-12 with a full count in the eight inning. Hall up, Lidge pitching.
Maddux pitches to the conditions. The game vs the Reds at Wrigley the wind was howling out and he was still awesome. So saying he has pitched under good conditions is just wrong. How so? The Cinci game was his worst of the year.
Blarg! I keep trying to get into retrosheet cause I'm pretty sure lofton has faced off against Maddux before, but it wont come up. Is anybody else having troubles with Retrosheet?
The kid is for real, to be sure. Although anybody expecting him to stay anywhere near his 1.706 OPS is insane. He realistically could be over .900 every year for 3-5 years though. Edit: He just got a walk, his OPS is up to 1.716.
