June 19, 200322 yr His knuckle ball has been absolutely whicked tonight. I think the air being heavy (From the rain) really is helping is pitch, but damn its looking awesome. Watching him early I thought oh s***, he's going to no hit us.
June 19, 200322 yr Doesnt frank always say he loves knuckle ballers? I dunno. I remember a game back in 1996 (I think) at Fenway when Frank hit 3 HR off of Wakefield, and on his 4th AB he intentionally walked him and the Fenway crowd was booing. Other than that, I don't recall Frank having much success against knuckle-ballers. If you think about it, there have been pretty much just 2 since Frank's been in the majors. They are Steve Sparks and Tim Wakefield. I'm sure there have been others, but I can't think of any right now. FYI, take away those 3 consecutive HR's against Wakefield back in '96, and he's just 4 for 28 with 0 HR against Tim.
June 19, 200322 yr Tom Candiotti is the only other knuckler that I can think of that Frank would have hit against.
