Remembering Rocktober: NLCS Game #3, or Thank You, Josh Fogg

Dear Josh Fogg,

A year ago, you pitched in one of the most important games of your career. You came up big time. You went six innings and allowed only a run, a homer to that Mark Reynolds character. It's too bad that you left the team and one of your myriad replacements turned out to be the opposing pitcher in this contest, Livan Hernandez.

Thanks for the memories!

Sincerely,

Purple Row

Dear Yorvit Torrealba,

We constantly complain about you (and for good reason), but you had a great night a year ago. You drove in three of the four runs for the Rockies, two on a homer. The high point of your career?

Sincerely,

Purple Row

LMAO!

What a great post, Russ! Absolutely correct on all points. Yorvit’s homer was great. Fogger’s game was better. All in a game that wouldn’t have been played during the regular season due to weather. Ah, the things they’ll do for TV.

Fogg

Josh Fogg was an absolute enigma. There is simply no explanation for how he was so effective. His BABIP was at .314, LD% at 20%, his K/9 was 5.11, BB/9 3.21, K/BB 1.59, HR/9 1.25, opponents hit .293 off of him, he had a negative WPA for the season (only very slightly negative, but still), and a 4.94 ERA and a 1.53 WHIP!

NONE of that is unusual!!! His BABIP is high! His LD% is average! Nothing suggests he was even lucky! If you looked at him on paper, you’d say “Yep, that’s a pretty average/below average #5 you’ve got right there” and yet he slew dragons and came up huge.

Inexplicable.
