Marte needs to be the set up man for Hermey and Shingo needs to be back in the clubhouse serving up chop suey instead of serving gofer balls like he did again tonight.

You know what, if shingo let up a single tonight we'd be hearing about how good he pitched and the thing is the homerun meant the same damn thing for this game, leave the guy alone today, he did fine.

yeah i agree, i like hermanson, and he was a solid pick up for the pen, but when he gives up a home run like shingo did tonight, i dont wanna hear about how he should be demoted

He didn't do fine today, but he wasnt awful either. Mauer owns Shinjo apparently. Now with that being said, I'm not ready to crown Hermy the new closer or anything, I still think its Shinjos job. But next time I see him give up 2+ HRs in a save situation, I'm gonna be sad and ready for Hermy to spell him for a bit.

What's the difference beteween a homerun and a single in that situation? Basically nothing. He gave up one hit and shut it down when he had to, he did fine imo.

In a 1 run game? The difference is another blown save. Luckily we had a 2 run cushion. My thing is, Shinjo vs. Mauer is a piss-poor matchup for Takatsu. I am a big proponent of letting your closer start the 9th inning and not come into trouble, but thats a matchup that shouldnt have happened.

Takatsu vs. Mauer was a terrible match-up.  Lefties have been Crushing Shingo, and last year Mauer was 1-2 with a HR vs. Shingo.  The out was absolutely tatooed, but Carlos Lee made a great catch on it.

 

I was thinking in the chat that he had two off of him from tonight. I guess i was just thinking of the two home runs he hit in that game. Anyway, he is gonna be a stud no matter what position he plays.

It wasn't a one run game, it was a 2 run game, meaning in that situation a single and a homer do the same thing.

As long as he stays healthy he's going to be a great player. To steal a line from Hawk "he's dangerous," that guy scares the hell out of me everytime he's up.

BINGO! It's not just Mauer. Lefties are killing Shingo and they did the same thing to him last season. Ozzie should be wary of using Shingo against them.
