Interview with Frankie

Just thought I would post this interesting article that was in the paper today. I found it to be somewhat interesting with all that has been discussed about K-Rod this year.

When it is all said he has done his job, but these numbers mentioned in the article are things I am sure the Angel management is also looking at, and it goes to show sometimes that all these numbers don't mean a lot because there is so many factors that go into winning a game.

Francisco Rodriguez feels your pain. And he'd love to do something about it.

But it's just not that easy to make things look easy, the Angels closer said.

"Hey, I'm working on it," Rodriguez said of fan reaction to the angst-inducing nature of many of his saves. "I wish I could strike everybody out on three pitches. But it's not like that.

"This is the big leagues. This is not a Nintendo game."

Then he should not have made it look so easy the first couple years!

Spoiled us all rotten! :)

Best part from my POV

Is that he acknowledges that he’s been backsliding on some levels, and is consciously working on it.

Numbers don't lie

Glad to know he knows he needs to work on it says Chrissy
