OkerJeemer's Inheritance....

After the grand slam given up by Okajima to Jay Payton, I believe that makes it 11 of 14 inherited runners scored so far this year for Oki.

that's why the category of "holds" should be considered, heavily, for relief pitchers... especially middle to short relief...

That's why I hate when people spout statistics in some cases. This is a case in point where Okajima is almost terrible as a setup man, but his stats will more than cover it up. I've been saying it for awhile now, the Sox have a serious problem with their pen. It's the one strength that the Yankees have over them at this point.

okajima's zero losses > joba's two

dont hate, im graspin here!!!

It has to be a mental thing, because he went out the next inning and put together a 1-2-3 inning. Unbelievable.

Good point, I noticed that too...I think his ERA is below 1, which means he's nearly perfect other than being atrocious with inherited runners. Very weird, but true.
