that's not the point at all. Point is that you are in experimentation mode in this regard year after year and wasting tons of money too. When you have the solution to your problem, you just don't drop it. You just keep the ship that way.
-
if you going are to spend 8-12 M/y in closers anyway, why not to lock out the one who has been solid, durable and mostly PROVED in your environment. Pap is still young and with so a lot of experience under his belt in arguably the toughest division to pitch in the last inning. The more I see Pap's numbers the more I think he deserves that contract. It's a shame he's wasting his time in Philly, they ain't going anywhere anyways.
-
People will never understand that pitching in the last inning is totally different than in the 6,7,8. numbers simply go downhill mostly in pressure situations. Look at Aceves case. Great mid inning reliever pitcher and as a closer a total failure. Tons examples out there. Hopefully Tazawa experiment works out.
-
1000000 times this. We have been spending tons of money in closers anyways. Why experiment with a bulk of fat wounded thieves when you had the cream of the cream. I'll never get it.
-
Some people will never undersand this. The funny thing is that they weren't cheap either on this the last 2 years. They had a solid proved durable closer and let him go. How much money have they spent in Jenks, Hanrahan, Bailey and not to mention all the failures on their experiments with Aceves, Padilla, Bard, etc. Hopefully they don't screw Tazawa and Koji arms too.

Was that a noise of a thunder or what?
-
Yup, we need R insurance though... Lets go offense!
-
A LAA Lackey tonight.
-
Lackey showing all his repertory tonight. Nice!

Just lost the count how many GO does Ells has thus far... jeez
-
just noticed that Hanrahan has Ian Scott Anderson (JethroTull) look
-
... and Colon lol
-
Not sure but I just figured out why Pap is not longer here
-
-
I don't like Salty, but this time is beyond him. D and W sucked big time, plain and simple.
-
it?s funny how much money we have spent in s***** closers and let go Papelbon. Whata waste of money.
-
The more I see the O?s the more I think they are for serious things. They have a tremendous offence, a solid rotation, the BP is making the job, their closer is shutting down, etc... very rounded team.
-
Not sure why is Tazawa out there.
-
We could have made 14 Rs, and still we would have L. Today we pitched like 2012.
-
Is he ready for the majors?
-
Hopefully he's ready soon.
-
Unless we score 10+ R every five day, We are in problems then...
