May 27, 200421 yr It's to bad shingo has gotten over to the majors so late in his career. He is one hell of a pitcher.
May 27, 200421 yr Didn't Elo pretty much burn out at the end of last season (luckily he heated back up) but he wasn't near as good in general his last 4-5 starts. They aught to turn this one over to Koch and save Elo's arm. He's been one of the hardest worked pitchers all season. Loazia looked bad at the end of last year because teams started to lay off that cutter. I'm sure a year of wear on the arm had some effect, but that was what my expert eye saw.
May 27, 200421 yr It's to bad shingo has gotten over to the majors so late in his career. He is one hell of a pitcher. He's the type of guy who can pitch as long as he wants. All he's doing is keeping the ball down and changing speeds.
May 27, 200421 yr ELO gets the win and Shingo should get his first major league save Unless I missed it and he already has one from earlier in the year. Big game for the Sox
May 27, 200421 yr He's the type of guy who can pitch as long as he wants. All he's doing is keeping the ball down and changing speeds. I kind of agree. As long as he can keep his fastball in the 85-87 range, he will be a good pitcher. That also assumes he can continue to have good control. I still think his control could be a little better, but I love Shingo
May 27, 200421 yr nice shut out against a great hitting team. All around great game. let's win this series tomorrow.
May 27, 200421 yr He's the type of guy who can pitch as long as he wants. All he's doing is keeping the ball down and changing speeds. I know that he can pitch anoth 5-8 years most likely but i'm just saying if he was here a while ago he may have done some special things.
May 27, 200421 yr ELO gets the win and Shingo should get his first major league save Unless I missed it and he already has one from earlier in the year. Big game for the Sox not eligable for the save tonight.
May 27, 200421 yr not eligable for the save tonight. Damn, I was thinking with the runner on that it would mean the guy in the hole could tie the game which would make it a save situation. I've never quite figured out when its a save and when it isn't.
May 27, 200421 yr Shingo is just a slower pitching Foulke, with more deception. That being said, if he performs well in a few more situations, maybe with a little more pressure, I would not mind seeing him as our closer. Some players just seem to get up for the big moments, and you could see Shingo enjoyed closing the game. If you put yourself in a save situation, you can not get a save. Thats why Shingo didnt get it. SB
May 27, 200421 yr What would be sick is having Shingo close for a starter that threw hard, very hard. Then in the 8th or 9th you show them Shingo and they'll have to adjust.
May 27, 200421 yr I've never quite figured out when its a save and when it isn't. Q: How do you determine whether a pitcher gets a save? A: A pitcher gets a save only when ALL of the following are true (Rule 10.20): He finishes the game for his team. He is not the winning pitcher Any one of the following is true: He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches one inning, OR He enters the game with the potential tying run on base, at bat, or on deck, OR He pitches at least three innings effectively. No more than one save can be awarded in any game.
May 27, 200421 yr What would be sick is having Shingo close for a starter that threw hard, very hard. Then in the 8th or 9th you show them Shingo and they'll have to adjust. Such as a randy johnson or a roger clemens.

That would be awesome if Shingo could close for us - they should flash "Game Over" as he comes into the game. LOL, just like LA with Gagne.

May 27, 200421 yr Nice job by Loaiza and Shingo today! They both did a really nice job shutting down one of the best offense's in the game right now. It's nice to see Caballo continued to swing the hot bat too.
