Harry Chappas Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 With a healthy Hermanson next year our bullpen with no changes is disgustingly filthy. Jenks has thrown 4 of 5 days in tight games, Aaron misplayed that ball. Hermanson with the win. Why not use Cliff more often??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisoxfan79 Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I think Jenks will be fine last night was his third night in a row pitching and his fourth in the last five days. It is critical that Ozzie makes him unavailable till Friday maybe Saturday. A couple of blowout wins would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I agree, he's nervous right now, but the more he sees these situations, the better he'll get. Someone also pointed out that he's tipping his pitches, especially his curve. He needs more control and confidence in that pitch and he'll be fine.

Jenks has also been let down by the other people on the team 2 nights in a row. We don't need Crede at all tonight if Aaron Rowand does his job in center field. We don't have any trouble at all last night if Marte doesn't walk a guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UC76 Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 (edited) Someone just needs to give Jenks a beer on the team bus and tell him to relax a little. Jenks is still a kid and he's been thrown into the closer's role in a pennant race. So he's been damn solid all things considered and will only get better as he learns and settles down. I'm still picturing Jenks pumping his fist as the Sox close out a playoff series. Edited September 21, 2005 by UC76 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Sox Fan Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 QUOTE(mmmmmbeeer @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 01:04 AM) Cliff's history is Latroy Hawkins-ish. Leave him as a setup man. Yeah. He scares me in the 9th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Sox Fan Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 11:35 PM) From what I've read, the Mets are DESPERATE for a new good closer to replace Looper. The Cards have Isringhausen, so they'd probably wouldn't offer as much as the Mets, especially with Piazza's contract coming off the books. But the Mets have Royce Ring!
