He was going well, but for my liking I still would like Rich Rod to close but that is just me Smith is still being Smith but you know that our excuse maker in chief is going to do what he does. Matzek, he has been a journeyman pitcher most of his career but has had a good run here save for this bad night. Still hate it he cost Max a W but that is the way the game goes. I would like the pitcher of record rules modified to be relevant to the 21st century cause the days of 280 IP and 35-40 starts are over Agree on Rodriguez, but he doesn't really have closer stuff. Really? I don't know if he is a closer on a good team but he had a less than one WHIP in Pittsburgh and not sure of his K per 9 or BB per 9 but I sure would think he would give us less Malox fits than Smith. I use those numbers for closers as well as first batters retired for closers but heck, to me he our best option Not in the eyes of Snit and Kranitz though

It's hard to say Matzek has been a journeyman most of his career. His rookie year in '14 was as a starter in Colorado where almost all pitchers have issues.
He then had the yups in his second year and was gone for quite awhile.
He's been back 2 seasons and been really solid. I don't think that translates to a career mostly spent in journeyman status.
RichRod pitches to contact and most teams want closers with a lot of swing and miss stuff... not that he's not a better option than the man warming up for us now.

Luke did his job this time one and a third. Call me Rollie Fingers and Sparky Lyle old school but dam it if I had my way I would send him out for the 9th.
Oh, cannot do that the analytics say you cannot do that LOL. It used to be done that way and often effective but guess I miss the 70s and 80s

Yea, I did not realize he was out of the majors for 4 yrs from 2016 to 19, I took a look at sports reference and he has given us mostly 2 solid yrs Never heard of him till last yr I don't know what happened tonight. I guess he was journeyman in the minors but to his credit he hung around. I think he did have some injury issues and bounced around the minors and might have been in the independent league

Gnats announcers just said that tonight is the second HR Ozzie has hit this year batting RH against a RHP.
When was the other one?

GAPOZ is a little freak of nature. I've never seen a player quite like him. He'll frustrate the hell out of you sometimes because he's such a free swinger, but he sure can do a lot of things to help you. Defense, speed, power. He's impressive.
