OGS Jinx?
June 23rd, 2008 by shtiny
Since Cliffy made his ridiculous comparison regarding Youkilis and Fielder, a weird thing happened…. Both players reverted back to their abilities. Much like Jeff Suppan couldn’t pitch above his head any longer following my comparison to him with the top pitchers in the game for a 4 month period, Youk, has likewise fallen well behind Fielder in production. Since the post on May 16… Fielder is putting up .331/.404/.654 while Youk is back to career norms of .287/.353/.472, which includes the final couple weeks in May where he didn’t draw a single walk… Very weird for the “greek god of walks”.
Moral of the story - before you go ranting on something you don’t actually believe, remember the consequeces of the OGS jinx…
