That’s true, but remains to be seen. I don’t believe he should be compared to the other top closers yet. And the statement that he has had 3 good closing years out of the last 4 couldn’t go unchallenged.
An 8 game winning streak made things happen. We have the players. They just need to play consistently good baseball.
Rosenthal as a major leaguer –
2012 – 0 saves
2013 – 3 saves
2014 – 45 saves
2015 – 48 saves
2016 – 14 saves
2017 – 11 savesWhere do you get he was a great closer 3 out of the past 4 years?
Career saves –
Lee Smith – 478
Eckersly – 390
Sutter – 300
Isringhausen – 300
Worrell – 256
Rosenthal – 121Rosenthal isn’t even in the same league with them.
Good closers do it successfully over a long period of time. Look at Hrabosky, Worrell, Smith, Eckersly, Izzy, etc. Rosenthal has had two good seasons. Just two.
That’s it.No, 14, we all have our priorities. I log on to read posts and post, but not to read notebooks. I’m sure they’re great. I read all of our minor league teams’ box scores everyday, and keep up to date on an ongoing basis that way.
Whom would you have brought into the game after the rain delay?
If you made it a bullpen game, how would it have set up for today?Grichuk has a gun for an arm and was a gold glove right fielder in the minors. Why play him in left and Martinez in right?
Good call, Brian. He must be super excited – this is his 7th season in the minors and finally he’s going to wear a major league uniform. Hittable, but good Ks and most importantly, low walks. The recent walks by our relievers have been really frustrating. As one of the announcers said, “it’s tough to defense walks”.
Tuivailala and Brebbia are reasonably effective. They might have to take on more higher leverage situations.
Might be something to it. I’ve asked people I know in the organization and they haven’t responded.
The lack of response is unusual.Shoot, maybe instead of using career WHIP, we should bring it more current to only 2017 WHIP –
Flaherty – 1.017
Weaver – 1.056
Helsley – 1.117
Gallen – 1.134
Gomber – 1.208
Hudson – 1.286
Fernandez – 1.339
Hicks – 1.350
Alcantara – 1.442
Woodford – 1.455
Jones – 1.528
Oviedo – 1.530
Seijas – 1.638Maybe a bunch of those guys below Helsley have been spending some time working on their secondary pitches.
