The other night I tuned into the Dodgers-Padres game to follow Randy Wolf, and basically see if one of my last three starters could get one quality start between them (they couldn't, and they can't). When the Padres' David Eckstein came to bat, Charlie Steiner kept gushing about how Eckstein 'just made other pitchers pay,' and all 'with his winning ways.' He couldn't sing his praises loud enough, and just stopped short of calling him the team's most valuable player.
Eckstein's numbers on the year? .261/.343/.359, with 0 HRs and 6 RBI. David Eckstein, making major league pitchers pay since 2001.
Maybe he meant he'll make them pay in other ways. I hear Eckstein does a great job with lawn care. Perhaps Wolf hired him to do some edge-work but hadn't paid yet.
