NO MORE Gregg. PLEASE!

[Drew Doughty]

He's striking out enough guys to indicate he has an "out" pitch. I'd like to hear an explanation how you get to a k/ip without one.

97 can get you a K if the batter's not looking for it. If he is looking for it - so will the outfielder be as he watches it fly over his head. The opposition doesn't get a lot of scratch hits off Gregg. He's a one trick pony that can fool some of the batters some of the time. Heilman has comparable k/ip numbers, perhaps you'd prefer he gets the ball to close? Glad you're comfortable with his contributions.

 

 

2) Gregg vs Heilman? Really? Let's see...the k/9ip is 9.24 vs 7.69 - a pretty significant difference in "stuff". Second, the k/bb rate is 2.43 for gregg vs 1.43 for Heilman. Do you want to try again?

Significant in "your" opinion? Look dude - if you want to dance a jig because you have Kevin Gregg as your closer - have at it. He doesn't have the talent to get enough outs in the last inning. But you keep hoping ... and it will happen. Try again? To argue the value of Kevin Gregg? Thats time well spent. You're funny.

Hope you make it to 52.

if he has one, it's too many. the job of the closer is to close the game out. if he's getting wins, that means he has given up the lead in the 9th or he is being put into a tie game in the 9th which means he isn't being used correctly.

The sound implies that there was close proximity to the point. That was a gulf of a miss.
