[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 759870, member: 2426"] I can think of several ways that is was not spot on. Ankiel was touted as the next Sandy Koufax. How many kickers at GT were touted as the next Adam Vinatieri? Even Butker was not given that level of praise. Ankiel's issues started during a game, not in practice. He had five wild pitches in one inning against the Braves. His next game, he threw two wild pitches in the first inning and was yanked. That was the end of the season for him. The next year, he started drinking on the mound. He actually won his first game, then he lost his second start and was sent to the minors. Do you think that if he was throwing wild pitches during warmups, [I]in practice[/I], that they would have let him start? Obviously not. [/QUOTE]
