It's not only good pitches with ripples that trouble Beckham (as they do most mlb players), he's even missing hangers.

 

What's terrible is, it's not as if we could have known that from college because, how many good pitchers with decent curveballs/sliders did he face?

He would kill most hangers last year...remember his bomb against Lackey? I've noticed though that both Beckham and Quentin really struggle with high curve, no matter how bad the pitch is.

That's silly, as it's not like he's going to face hitters 2-5 for them. If he's going to warm up, bring him in to face Fukudome.

Ozzie has never been confused with a great strategic manager.

Are you saying Thornton is only going to pitch against lefties? Some people want him to close. Uh he'll face a lot of righties as a closer.
