I'm not denying he could have batter .650 in the series, but to say that him not batting .650 is proof he threw some of the games doesn't sit well with me. More likely to me is that he had days where he saw the ball well and days where he didn't; days where he felt comfortable with the pitcher and days where the pitcher had him guessing. Just my 2 cents.
