PrintThe List: RBI < (HR x 2) By Dave Sheinin | July 8, 2009

"To pull it off, you need to hit almost exclusively solo home runs (all 10 of Willingham's are of the solo variety), and you need to perform poorly with runners in scoring position (Willingham: .180/.293/.220)."
This may be part of my indifference to Hammer......His normal stats don't look bad, but he's not contributing when it counts...

I’m not a baseball player, but I’ve got to believe that batting with RISP is little more than confidence. Hopefully as the Nats get better, they play better when it counts.
Then again, I may be entirely off.
I think it's not letting the pressure get to you and concentrating. Maybe that is confidence.
I definitely remember being terrified of striking out in first year little league. These guys should have grown out of that by now…
Dunn's bat, Nyjer Morgan's speed, skills, Dukes' arm, bat, that's an OF...(sorry, Hammer!) - EC

Willingham is pressing
He has been all year in those situations.
