Quote:The problem with him has always been pressure.And that is the issue we all have with him. He already showed he couldn't take it back when he was an Oriole, and plunked Tino Martinez following a Bernie Williams' home run. He blew leads for the Orioles in playoff games against the Yanks, then blew 7 games for the Mets (including one against the Yanks) this year and still made the All-Star team.
And now you think he'll be able to handle himself in an 8th-inning, Game 7 of the ALCS with a trip to the World Series on the line?
I for one doubt it. And watching him in tonight's game failed to convince me. If the team always gives him 4 or 5 run leads, then great. But in a tie game, or up by only one I would feel better if he didn't have the ball.
