madmike1 109,248 #106 Posted July 5, 2007 Okajima has pitched more late inning pressure situations with runners on than Neshek and has a ERA over 2 full runs better in those situations. He has also pitched more late inning close games in total with better stats. Neshek is good but "inventing" numbers because you hate the Sox is childish. You're wrong as usual. In "Close and Late" situations Neshek has faced 135 batters and Okajima has faced 94. Neshek has also faced 4 times the number of batters in Tie games as Okajima has.

Neshek has also faced 4 times the number of batters in Tie games as Okajima has. Number of batters faced is a product of extending the inning via allowing hits or walks.....see ERA in close and late runners on etc. Bottom line: Okajima has thrown more innings during late pressure and more innings during late inning pressure with runners on. As for batters faced close and late ;http://www.baseball-reference.com/pi/psplit.cgi?n1=okajihi01&year=2007 Okajima also has a better ERA in BOTH those situations. Okajima http://2001ball.baseball.sportsline.com/players/player/breakdown/1179735 Neshek http://2001ball.baseball.sportsline.com/players/player/breakdown/549738 Neshek has also allowed more HR's than Okajima's in close and late situations . Both are good pitchers but to date this season I'll take Okajima. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neshek has faced MANY more batters in those situations. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gainzo 147,142 #117 Posted July 5, 2007 Neshek comes in with the bases empty and gives up a 2 run shot. The 7th HR he has given up this year. I think its an understatement to say that with the All-Star vote in balloting ending in 90 minutes this probably wasn't a good time to give up a 2 run HR in a tie game.

MasonJet 24,085 #119 Posted July 5, 2007 Why do people still debate with madmike? I really don't understand why you even bother. He's obviously right all the time so there's no need to doubt him. But seriously, all you get out of arguing with madmike is absurd spin where stats mean everything, but only the ones that help his argument, and then when you dare to disagree with him you get accused of stalking and some such nonsense. Just don't even bother with the guy. And anyway Neshek just gave up a game-winning hr to Matsui which I'm guessing isn't going to help his all-star voting.

Way to bring up a game from June 3rd when Okajima blew a save (his one and only). How about you talk about Nesheck giving up the game winning runs (both HR's) for the 2nd time in two weeks?

This has nothing to do with Boston and you have been Neshek's biggest cheerleader in this thread so I consider him "your boy." You dismissed Okajima's superior numbers in favour of Nesheck for some strange reason. If I'm such a Boston homer why did I say that Arod deserves to win the MVP this year in another thread?
