CRUZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[NWinAZ]

I wonder if Rodney can come out for the 10th?

 

[Anointed One]

I wonder if Rodney can come out for the 10th?

Why would we want him to?

 

[NWinAZ]

He is our closer and and and...

 

[AceKeptic]

Nope. Medina this time. Rodney had his chance.

Rodney showing why pitcher wins is a dumb stat.

 

[NWinAZ]

I guess sarcasm plays as well on here as Rodney in a non-save situation.

 

[Anointed One]

This is what's wrong w/ baseball... Rodney pitches 1 inning... Gives up 4 runs and get's the Win... There is something wrong w/ that formula...

 

[Itsmytime]

Rodney take notes, this is how you pitch to close a game.

Rodney take notes, this is how you pitch to close a game.

And he was the guy with the saves last year? Sometimes, they have to be reminded of how they got to the Major League level in the first place.

Good for Medina and the offense. Good to see us doing well in back-to-back extra inning games.

what a crazy fucking game baseball can be

rodney blows a 4 run lead, and ends up getting a W

 

[Anointed One]

Rodney take notes, this is how you pitch to close a game.

Which is why is, "Arrow Shooting" celebrating is exhausting... He's our closer... A closer who finished the year with almost a 3.00 era last season... A closer who allowed over 50% of the runners he faced to reach base... 40 saves was nice but he overachieved... He won't touch 40 this year... As you can tell, I hate the "Arrow" celebration... ... Always have...

w/l for pitchers is a moronic stat is the problem

teams win and lose games

this proves that

Definitely... Glad to see Medina secure the game for us... Huge series for this team... They fought hard for those 2 wins even though the bullpen almost blew both of them... Well deserved...

 

[cezero]

it matters not at all, but i like how cruz handled brad adam's moronic post-game questions

 

[DunceKaep]

Any other concerns? It is early, but........

Morrison at 1B and Jackson in C are two huge concerns for me.

Jackson, 6 K's, ZERO SB, 0 RBI's, Very AVERAGE defense.
Morrison, 3 Hits, 0 RBI's, good Defense, lots of fly balls and pop ups.

Hey, I'm happy with 3-3 right now. But RODNEY, he IS going to cost us this year, mostly cuz Lloyd will stick with "His $14 million Closer".

 

[unlvmariners]

Sucks that Rodney shit all over a win for Felix... Felix deserves to get wins.... You guys are right though wins are a dumb stat to evaluate a pitcher.

Good job by Medina to shut the door.

3-3 not bad considering they have been in some funky games so far.
