I only ever... ever see him going away, away, away, no matter if it's against a right or left handed hiter. It seems like any guy good enough to hit major league pitching could probably dive on the plate and hit some rickets to the opposite field if he wanted to. It's not like he doesn't ever come inside, but he hits the outer half with the fastball and throws the slider for a ball low and away so often that players should adjust to it. Eh?
player can go down looking in 9th inning with the game on the line. Especially taking 3 straight pitches without moving the bat off your shoulder whatsoever

He celebrates so much for a simple save. I mean you would think it would be ok if he had just gotten out of a 2nd and 3rd no out jam, but for crying out loud. He walked the leadoff guy, saves the game, and starts screaming into the air like he's some master saver guy. Tough loss, but I didn't wanna see an Angels walk-off either..
