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.

Ball hit his glove clean. It just bounced off the heel and not the pocket.
That was the error. When the ball got to him, the runner was only 2/3’s the way from 1st to 2nd. Just because that guy is none too quick as a 2B does not mean that the play was beyond human.

If Dondo is being asked to pitch more thna 3 outs, Frankie most assuredly needs to do AT LEAST the same.

by Angel Aviator on Aug 20, 2008 7:33 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
But where you and I may differ is that I think
this problem is Sosh’s fault, not Frankie’s. If Frankie can command $15 million, and Arte pays him, but Sosh only makes him work 3 outs, who fault is that? Arte for overpaying? Sosh for under-utilizing? Frankie for maximizing his income?
I think Sosh, so I don’t blame Frankie, so I don’t diss Frankie for succeeding where he is used, and I realize that where Frankie fails many others have failed before him, and shall fail after him.

Hasnt Dondo been asked to do a job for 1 inning as well?
the only difference is it hasn’t been the 9th. Still being asked to hold the game down and do a job that ultimately will lead to a victory. You realize this is the first time in F-Rod’s career that he has not been extended more then an inning. He had done it on many other occasions prior to the start of this season, and there was never an issue. Now he has him sitting there as the game falls apart
I agree that it isn’t F-Rod’s fault. Just hate the talk about how he is the best thing ever. Not saying he is god awful but he is not worth the kind of $$$ he will demand nor is any other closer in all honesty. Thats me though.

What modern closer?
Is asked to extend himself? The best ones – the ones not named Frankie are not being run out there before the 9th inning of most games. If you do, you risk the health of your best guy.
That may not be in-line with the belief that closers need to do more to earn their money, but it is Justin Speier, Scot Shields and Jose Arredondo’s job to be a bridge to K-Rod. Speier and Shields get their millions as well – why does K-Rod have to do their jobs?

See now your putting words in my mouth
Never said that! Just pointing out that there is often times that a save needs to happen prior to the start of the 9th inning. Looks like Francona, Gardenhire, and others see that as well.
Never said he had to go out and pitch every game at 1+ innings or more.

K-Rod
If you had no bullpen or at least have a bullpen that hasn’t done the job, you may have to bring your closer in as a necessity. I think that is more of the case with other teams than with the Angels.
Scioscia has done it in the past, where he needed K-Rod before the ninth inning and brought him in. But when you have two supposedly capable arms to serve as a bridge, why put more stress on K-Rod by expecting him to come in?
It seems you are painting the handling of K-Rod as the closer somehow babying him or giving him only opportunities where he can rack up saves without consquence.

Bingo You got it now!
If I remember correctly it was the 8th and Shields looked awful. Needed 5 outs for a win and he sat on the bench. Had not pitched in 5 days. Today they used Dondo 1 2/3 inning because Shields was out of the loop. You going to honestly say that F-Rod could and should not have been out there late in the 8th?
I said it before……….say it again……..He has been used every year but this year for more then an inning. Would not have hurt to use him Tuesday or tonight in the 8th.
