Robert Coello picks up a save

Just like we all expected when the season began.

Hamilton made the last out a bit of an adventure, but a win is a win.

I won't be opposed to seeing him as Closer

[Mile High Dreams]

Poetic Justice to see the fork in the game to end it. Kind of like seeing the fat lady sing.

[JAHV76]

Closer by committee

[Angel Oracle]

Exactly, it's time for closer by committee.

[AngelsFaninGA]

Closer by committee

 

So that means every reliever gets a chance?

Coello, 2013:

 

7.1 innings

2 hits

0 Walks

12 Strikeouts

0.27 WHIP

0.00 ERA

1 Win

1 Save

[Ray McKigney]

He looks really impressive thus far. I hope he keeps it up for the long haul. In any case, he deserves a spot in the bullpen more than Downs and Lowe at this point.

[Tyler]

Great job by Scioscia.

Major props to Mike for going with the kid and the hot hand.

 

This was a game we simply could not afford to blow.

I know it's a small sample, but holy crap!  He couldn't be doing any better so far.

 

I really would like to see him get more work so we can tell what we have here with this kid.

So, does Dipoto get his props for finding this guy?

Not on this board.

[happybat4]

I am glad he is doing well but I would not get to excited. I worry that hitters will start to figure out his fork ball.

[Brandon]

Going with the hot hand.

I was watching the MLB game day dealio at one of.my.offices and it was sick to see Frieri yanked and him come in to throw three straight strikes to.end.it.

I'd have a combo of Frieri, Coello, and when he returns Jepsen doing the closing (say 1/3 opps for each); and maybe if lefties are up in the 9th giving Burnett a save opp. 

 

Only when someone is significantly better than the others in the 9th can they then become the permanent closer. 

 

Yes, Frieri has allowed 4 fewer hits than walks.    The walks are scary though because one hit is then all it takes.

[Willy J.]

My boy Coolio was money again today.

 

Gave up a single but no runs, no walks, and 2 k's.

 

Still a 0.00 ERA.
