Koch vs Foulke watch

[JUGGERNAUT]

We all should know by now that Koch has dominated Foulke in 3 primary statisical categories over the last 4 yrs:

# of saves, # of scoreless ip, # of scoreless appearances

 

This has led to Koch having a much smaller distribution of "runs against" over 162 games than Foulke. For ex: Koch gave up 24er over 10 gms vs 2 teams in 2K3, but then surrendered just 10er over 67 gms vs all others.

 

We likewise know that Foulke has started off good while Koch stated off pretty crappy in 2K3.

 

So let's see where they stand right now:

 

May 17

scoreless appearances:

Koch 13/19 (68.4%), Foulke 12/17 (70.6%)

scoreless ip:

Koch 12/16.1 (74.5%), Foulke 13.1/19.2 (68.2%)

 

May 21

scoreless appearances:

Koch 14/20, Foulke 14/19

scoreless ip:

Koch 13/17.1, Foulke 16.1/22.2

 

 

 

I give it a few more weeks before Koch has the edge in both.

A closer is a SITUATIONAL position. Thus stats pertaining to that SITUATIONAL position are more relevant than others.
