ESPN Pederson comments
« on: December 06, 2003, 11:08:56 PM »
Why all the talk on the show about left vs. right and the number of games played?

The final numbers are 5 left handed games and 3 right handed. The way Randy Pederson was talking you would have  thought they had bowled 45 left handed games to Mika’s three.  

Both sides were under the lights, both sides had practice thrown on them. Seems everyone is always trying to make excuses for the lefthanders inability to adjust.

Mika’s win has been one of the few bright spots in my weekend.

I think the comments were made to explain that the tables would be turned this week, jason was the only real "cranker" but he was in the opening match, would have been intersting if the braket was different and we had a jason/mika match in the finals, only say this because cj ended up in front of the ball return in his finals game, and would be intersting to see if with 4 lefties if jason would ever have to get that deep. However, cj was on a differnt pattern, and from what i've heard, the lanes were fairly new this week, thus holding oil better than some of the old wood houses they've been at the past couple of weeks.

Usually it's the other way around.  The right side gets toasted from all the righties and the left side stays fairly fresh.  I think Mika did himself a service today too.  Using a low flaring, weaker ball, it allowed him to leave more oil on the lanes than even a polished V2 would let him.  Coincedence or strategy?  You KNOW he'd have had the same if not a better line (although that honestly wasn't possible) with a polished V2.  You could see the right lane had some carrydown, but it wasn't that bad.  Do you think after that first game that anybody else thought they even had a chance?  Patrick Allen is usually pretty confident, but as a pro, he recognized that he was in for it.  He bowled very aggressively against Mika.  Leaves a 7, and instead of a small hand or speed change, he just flat out changes to another ball in the middle of a championship game.
