Question is, does Santiago even belong in the majors at all? We already have a LOOGY in Ohman.

wow..........

I have a feeling Santiago is going to be renting in Charlotte soon. He gives up way too many shots.

Santiago is NOT a closer.....................I have said numerous times Reed should be!

Ok, that's enough for Santiago.

 

I'd rather Jones close.

I think Hector is done as closer

Wow, that hurts

 

I don't think you can stop using him as closer yet though. 4/6 save opps usually doesn't get you fired. He's certainly got the heat on him now, though.

Santiago looked like he had Reddick dead to rights, but couldn't finish him off. That was the big part of the inning.

Let Thornton close. He's back.

He just cannot get a quality righty out.

Twice, to be exact.

Reed for closer. Santiago not an option ala Matt Thornton

Yeah, that was bigger than the homer.

Sure, it doesn't matter if we win this game at all.

 

No biggie.

 

Send Santiago to the minors to work as a starter.

 

Reed promoted to closer, etc.

 

It's funny though how we're already throwing Santiago under the bus and Morel and Beckham get years to prove themselves.

 

 

We criticized Santiago for getting beat on the fastball and 3 of the hits this inning are "waiting in the weeds" offspeed pitches for hits.

Reed should be closing. Jones' control is still too suspect.

 

Oh great, here's Suzuki. I've got a really bad feeling about this.

I bet we lose here

My point was that I'd rather have Jones close than Santiago. Not that Jones should be the closer.

 

My sarcasm didn't come through enough I guess.

I will be SHOCKED if Santiago isn't the next guy to close a saveable game.

No I do not need a sequel.

If Santiago gets Reddick, we'd still be winning. So yes, it was a huge part of the inning.

Shingo got DFA'd and he was 9/10.

Yikes, now he is melting down.
