chw42 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Get a couple more runs so we don't have to waste anymore of our relievers. Even Tony Pena can get 3 outs with a 5 run lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Are people seriously ready to hand over the closer role to Santos over the much superior Thornton over a couple games? Thornton has more than earned the benefit of the doubt at least through April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thornton has more than earned the benefit of the doubt at least through April. He's had a history of having trouble closing out games including this year. So yeah, I've seen enough of Matt.

No proof Santos will be more successful but he seems to suit the role better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved him where he was... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I overall tho am in favor of closer by committee on this team, with Sergio the lead guy. Thornton also can go two innings at times. If he's on, let him go into the ninth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 That was a quick eighth. This is a big inning for our season. Are we going to repeat last night and show we again are a maddening team? Or do we mow down this s***ty Rays team and simply bag a nice, clean 4-1 win?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
