More good work from Patrick Flood examining Mike Pelfrey’s purported mental weakness. It’s well written but Patrick is flat-out wrong: Every time Mike Pelfrey pitches well, he is a shining beacon of confidence, a warrior comfortable with his abilities and capable of keeping the ball down. Every time he struggles, he is crazy, afraid, weak. There is no in-between, no doubt about it, no chance that luck or randomness is involved, no way I’m reading too much into his body language, and absolutely no way I’m being sarcastic. Brian Bannister can’t write his book soon enough.
