Remember when Tim Mead said...

[disarcina]

GEEZ -- Rough crowd.

 

I did not make it over to the Fanfest tailgate -- but, heck, Tim Mead takes time out of his day and duties to stop by and he gets lambasted for his remarks here......

 

oh well.

 

I didn't hear what he said obviously, but most of us thought Smith had become the primary closer -- well, at least because Frieri I don't think has pitched an inning (in any situation) since his last blown save.......but let's give Mead a break (not that he needs one, he commented on what he knew and I am sure provided the best information he had at the time) and Sosh as well, it's pretty common for teams to go through a period of 'closer by committee' when the primary closer gets replaced.......happens throughout MLB and is happening with some other teams right now.

 

Also, apparently Smith has some back issues or something that made him unavailable today.

 

Oh, by the way, despite the pen issues (and two consecutive games where the Halos pen guy gave up a HR to the first batter faced) -- the Halos just SWEPT the Rangers. I'll take that.

 

Oh, and I also appreciate Tim Mead stopping by to say a few words to AW.com folks on Saturday.......he's always been a friend of AW.com -- and it's appreciated.

Smith came in tonight in a non save opportunity and proceeded to make it one, padding his stats.

I long for the day when Frieri can actually throw a secondary pitch often enough so that he doesn't need to groove 2 strike pitches to the Swishers of the AL with the bases loaded.

If only there was something like a "pitching coach" that could help him develop a secondary pitch.

Doesn't work that way. You can't create your own save situation. It either is or isn't when you enter the game.

Here's Tim drinking his Patron. lol
