soxman352000 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 What do you think. Everyday I hear people talking about wheather or not he can get the job done like last year. Do you think that teams will catch up to him this year or do you think that he can make the proper adjustments? Is Shingo capable of shuting down the teams when the ninth rolls around with his change or do you think that he needs to develop some more zip to the fastball. And what if he isn't able to mow down guys like last year? Who is next in line to be the closer? Marte? JV, or Hermanson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'm on the fence, I think if he has confidence in his pitches and isn't intimidaded by the hitter. Then he can have success Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilJester99 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Correct me if I am wrong but those were the first runs he gave up all spring as well right?? He is eventually going to do that every now and again. I wouldn't worry too much about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelasDaddy0427 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 s***... I misread the question... I meant to say no but I think I hit yes instead... One of those yes's are really a no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulokis Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Nope. Shingo is probably working on his new pitch also and he is just getting his work done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Not worried. He's pitched in every game possible. He's not going to have an ERA of zero, but he'll do good again this year. I can't wait to see his new pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 I am not worried about Shingo at all. He'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wong & Owens Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 He has good control, and he knows how to change speeds effectively. Those traits almost always lend themselves to good pitchers, so I think Shingo will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanOfCorn Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Two words: No. Let's wait and see what this new pitch is before we cast him down to the lowly middle relievers. Even though he got hit yesterday, did you see some of the nasty hamburgers he was sending up there? I think Ken Harvey popped an shoulder on one of his swings.

shakes Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 I see no reason to worry. Anyone who is worried is just thinking he is not a typical closer. Many of the same things have been said about Folke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
