Balta1701 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ May 15, 2011 -> 06:18 PM) Is it any wonder Thornton has started to become the usual Matt Thornton since he was put back in his 7th/8th inning role?? I certanly haven't gotten that impression, he's been just as wild/struggled to get people out as he was in the 9th. He just has had fewer Juan Pierre drops.

It was about time Ozzie realized this and put him back into a role where he could contribute. I wish I could say the same about Juan Pierre, where his best suited role is being designated for assignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Pierre had dropped that ball, we'd all be saying "Here things go again for Matt" and they'd look just like they did when MT was pitching the 9th inning.

The difference was in a lot of those blown saves is the ball was getting hit HARD against him and he was 2-0 or 2-1 the whole time it seemed. Sure, JP screwed MT a few times but the old Thornton seems to be back for me in the setup role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Maddux has said that there were a lot of times when he'd get to 2-2 on a guy and he'd purposely throw a ball in the dirt or well out of the zone to get the count to 3-2, because it's much harder to lay off of a pitch that is close with a full count than any other time.
