Joe Lewis

Not the boxer, the pitcher

Joe's a pretty good pitcher, was selected in the 4th round, 8th overall of the inaugural draft. He's put up some good numbers as Victoria's Ace during the regular season. However when it comes to the postseason - Joe Sux. They should try him in the pen if they get there again

Yes, he sure goes down for the count in the postseason. Why do you think he can't go the distance? Knocking them out when it doesn't count but on the ropes when the bell rings?

Look, this may be a low blow but I don't pull any punches around here. I lead with my chin.

So here's the decision. This guy's a lightweight. You should throw in the towel with him because he's no good in the clinch. Tell him to take a dive. I mean, hike.

And if he comes out swinging, keep your guard up. Remember, we're in your corner with this.

Yeah, the guy really keeps Schmeling it up in the playoffs.

What's his work ethic and desire to win like?

Here's his BNN Page and Scout Report (OSA - no scouting league). Not much of a leader but he's smart and isn't lazy.

It seems you guys have developed a bout of punitis.

Yeah, around here you gotta either beat them to the PUNch or roll with the PUNches. Otherwise you could end up PUNch drunk!

I wonder if his low desire to win and very low loyalty might be contributing to his weak post-season punch. When everybody else is stepping it up, he can't really be bothered. He's just happy to be there.

Keep giving him chances - he mayweather the storm!

Haha yes! I'm not a big boxing guy, so I was having trouble thinking of boxer names!
