He does not have as usual been so effective. Nevertheless, he has made the work. The press begins to doubt its physical state and its capacity. But manager endorses it and still it trusts him.
The stellar Venezuelan lock of the Angelinos of Los Angeles, Francisco Rodriguez, them has not had all with him this season, specially after the Star Game, lapse in which has four blown saves in 14 opportunities and a percentage of races allowed by each nine entrances of work of 4.58.
"It has not gone to him well, but I think that still it is not moment to worry. Frankie has been a little inconsistente, nevertheless, has given us what we needed him", said Mike Scioscia, to manager of the Angelinos.
Rodriguez, who is the better locking quarter of American Liga at the moment, with 34, was the past punished Friday by the logs of the Indians. That day the inicialista of Cleveland, Ryan Garko, connected a quadrangular one to him to tie the game. It was the second time in his last three opportunities to save that it could not do it.
"It has confidence in itself and we still trusted him. We really hoped that it goes to him better and than whenever sounds the telephone (of they bullpen) leaves to make its work successfully", commented Mike Butcher, coach of pitcheo of the novena of Los Angeles.
The front of his locker, in clubhouse of the Angelinos, the Angels Stadium, the reporters asked to him the Venezuelan for their situation, and he responded: "Simply I have not been able to make well my work. That is what all you want to hear. That is the unique thing that I must to say. Thanks".
The technical body of the club indicates that badly of the evils by which it crosses Rodriguez it finds in his mechanics.
"It is not having the rate nor the synchronization that accustoms in the movements that do when sending. The best thing is to give time him so that it returns to find the point perfect of his mechanics. We are sure that it will find his rate again", said Scioscia, to the newspaper Los Angeles Times.
For serafines he is vital that Rodriguez improves and she is to point for the beginning of the postemporada one, and perhaps is the preoccupation of Californian means there. The Venezuelan has three weeks to do it.
