Even though they have a really good core, a lot of the pieces are gone to free agency next year. Dunno if the ones they have are good enough to replace lost production (Carlos Pena in particular, but there are others).

It's usually oil coming up past a cracked piston ring and into the combustion chamber.
The oil burns partially and comes out the exhaust system as blue smoke.
So blue smoke = ring job.
Ring job = new rings.
therefore,
Blue Smoke = New Rings!

If your closer is your best pitcher...
this is the EXACT situation where you want to bring in your closer. To close down a rally. Bullpen “roles” are a joke and the managers that started slotting guys into 1 inning roles have screwed up the bullpens of the future.

Just doing what 98% of MLB managers do .....CL is over rated crap
Willie Mays Aikens is FREeeeeeeee
by Angel Aviator on Aug 20, 2008 6:59 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
98% of MLB managers are under-utilizing their closers.
I suspect that it is an extension of the same theme. Limiting a closer to one inning allows that closer to throw harder. Be more dominant. But that only works if you have ANOTHER closer to pitch the 8th. And if you have even ANOTHER closer to pitch the 7th, both the 7th and 8th inning guys can throw harder as well. And all that allows the starter to go 6, throwing harder, and qualify for his quality start and win.
So it ain’t that closers are overrated, it’s that true closers are under-utilized and that their limited role is improperly valued, preventing managers from using them when the appropriate moment presents itself – if that moment happens to occur before the 9th.
The real downside is that this trains the closer to work only one inning. At this point, under Sosh’s management, Frankie probably does not have the gas to go 6 outs anyway.
