Rick Ankiel

When I watch Ankiel swing, I can't believe that he ever makes contact. He generally doesn't. Runner at 3rd nobody out and he K's for the 5th time in a row.

Rick Ankiel is really doing something special. In his last 8 official at-bats, he is 0 for 8 with 8 strikeouts. The record for strikeouts in consecutive at-bats is 18, spanning several seasons by Daniel Cabrera. The record for most consecutive plate appearances with a K is held by Sandy Koufax with 12. Interesting that Ankiel may soon threaten records for hitting futility held by pitchers.

Dude is a pitcher...what do you expect? Maybe he has forgotten how to hit like he forgot how to throw strikes...
