BigHurt3515 Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 8 minutes ago, nrockway said: what's the reason? closers are not typically guys that were, a few weeks ago, starting. throwing 9 balls in a row sucks. put him out there again for 2 innings next time. it's an awesome decision to make. he's a rookie. they make mistakes under pressure. do the same thing again. I am fine with 2 innings during a game but closing is just a different animal, you use the adrenaline to help. You get 3 outs and then you go sit down for 10 min, it kind of ruins that and makes it a lot tougher. Especially when it isn't something he is use to at this level.

He pulled him at the right time. Learning moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sosa too slow, Ohtani surprisingly fast. what can't that guy do He had 50+ steals last year. Sosa not a good defender...never has been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah ultimately it doesn't matter but would rather Taylor have the success to go off of. If he is closer of the future, he won't be doing two inning saves very often. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think the guy is clearly the best pitcher out of the bullpen and has the stamina to do 2 innings since he is stretched out as a starter. He just really had a bad time. I don't think you expect that poor of a performance. Nerves maybe. We probably would've won if the manager made a different choice, but I like the decision. I think try it out a few more times and see what happens. who cares if we win these games? I'm not mad they lost how they did. Score more runs next time.

TheBooneLoganEra Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Taylor sitting too long was the crux tonight. Should've changed plans when that happened. Or just stop with the 2 inning saves. Unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 I’m not a big fan of using Taylor two innings if it comes with a pitch count. Oh well, just another loss for this awful team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess he never really went more than three innings, but the expectation was that he's a starter and one might assume he's more prepared to throw multiple innings than he is to do one in the 9th inning.
