Didn't Elo pretty much burn out at the end of last season (luckily he heated back up) but he wasn't near as good in general his last 4-5 starts. 

 

They aught to turn this one over to Koch and save Elo's arm.  He's been one of the hardest worked pitchers all season.

Loazia looked bad at the end of last year because teams started to lay off that cutter. I'm sure a year of wear on the arm had some effect, but that was what my expert eye saw.

He's the type of guy who can pitch as long as he wants.

 

All he's doing is keeping the ball down and changing speeds.

I kind of agree. As long as he can keep his fastball in the 85-87 range, he will be a good pitcher. That also assumes he can continue to have good control. I still think his control could be a little better, but I love Shingo :headbang

I know that he can pitch anoth 5-8 years most likely but i'm just saying if he was here a while ago he may have done some special things.

not eligable for the save tonight.

Damn, I was thinking with the runner on that it would mean the guy in the hole could tie the game which would make it a save situation.

 

I've never quite figured out when its a save and when it isn't.

Shingo is just a slower pitching Foulke, with more deception.

 

That being said, if he performs well in a few more situations, maybe with a little more pressure, I would not mind seeing him as our closer.

 

Some players just seem to get up for the big moments, and you could see Shingo enjoyed closing the game.

 

If you put yourself in a save situation, you can not get a save.

 

Thats why Shingo didnt get it.

Q: How do you determine whether a pitcher gets a save?

A: A pitcher gets a save only when ALL of the following are true (Rule 10.20):

He finishes the game for his team.

He is not the winning pitcher

Any one of the following is true:

He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches one inning, OR

He enters the game with the potential tying run on base, at bat, or on deck, OR

He pitches at least three innings effectively.

No more than one save can be awarded in any game.

What would be sick is having Shingo close for a starter that threw hard, very hard.  Then in the 8th or 9th you show them Shingo and they'll have to adjust.

That would be awesome if Shingo could close for us - they should flash "Game Over" as he comes into the game. LOL, just like LA with Gagne.
