Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
No Hanigan...but more importantly...no Janish. I really see a need for him with the groundballing Leake on the bump.
Chat is open!
Nice pitch. Fukodome strikes out swinging. 2 outs.

There's just a sense of confidence with Leake. "I'm going to throw my stuff and whatever happens, happens." Hardly dominant, just quite effective.

Another great pitch. Lee strikes out looking on a pitch right on the outside corner. 0-0 mid 1st.
It doesn't matter how hard you throw. Movement on the outside black is tough to hit. Agreed on the Janish point.

Wow, what a horrible pitch to chase for the strike out. It bounced a foot wide of the plate...
