April 19, 200521 yr QUOTE(El Piervizdyeguchansodnik @ Apr 18, 2005 -> 09:40 PM) Now why did the Giants let him walk?? He wanted to either be a starter or closer. He was not gonna close there because they had other people in mind.
April 19, 200521 yr QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Apr 18, 2005 -> 09:07 PM) Hermy is our Joe Nathan. Basically.
April 19, 200521 yr Marte needs to be the set up man for Hermey and Shingo needs to be back in the clubhouse serving up chop suey instead of serving gofer balls like he did again tonight.
April 19, 200521 yr QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 03:06 AM) He wanted to either be a starter or closer. He was not gonna close there because they had other people in mind. ...And because he was under the age of 35.

You know what, if shingo let up a single tonight we'd be hearing about how good he pitched and the thing is the homerun meant the same damn thing for this game, leave the guy alone today, he did fine.

He didn't do fine today, but he wasnt awful either. Mauer owns Shinjo apparently. Now with that being said, I'm not ready to crown Hermy the new closer or anything, I still think its Shinjos job. But next time I see him give up 2+ HRs in a save situation, I'm gonna be sad and ready for Hermy to spell him for a bit.

Basically nothing. He gave up one hit and shut it down when he had to, he did fine imo.

April 19, 200521 yr Takatsu vs. Mauer was a terrible match-up. Lefties have been Crushing Shingo, and last year Mauer was 1-2 with a HR vs. Shingo. The out was absolutely tatooed, but Carlos Lee made a great catch on it.

My thing is, Shinjo vs. Mauer is a piss-poor matchup for Takatsu. I am a big proponent of letting your closer start the 9th inning and not come into trouble, but thats a matchup that shouldnt have happened.

The out was absolutely tatooed, but Carlos Lee made a great catch on it. I was thinking in the chat that he had two off of him from tonight. I guess i was just thinking of the two home runs he hit in that game. Anyway, he is gonna be a stud no matter what position he plays.

It wasn't a one run game, it was a 2 run game, meaning in that situation a single and a homer do the same thing.

Anyway, he is gonna be a stud no matter what position he plays. As long as he stays healthy he's going to be a great player. To steal a line from Hawk "he's dangerous," that guy scares the hell out of me everytime he's up.

Ozzie should be wary of using Shingo against them. Edited April 19, 200521 yr by Jabroni
