WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Per Rotoworld Bobby Jenks-R- White Sox Jul. 26 - 10:08 am et White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said Sunday that Bobby Jenks can reclaim the ninth-inning gig with one more quality outing. Jenks was given some time off from the role after blowing a save last Wednesday. "We're not crazy what we're doing here," Guillen said after Jenks threw a scoreless eighth inning in Sunday's loss. "If Bobby next time throws the ball the same way he threw (Sunday), he'll be back to his role." The big man has 4.95 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 20 saves in 22 chances this season.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Awesome, glad to know he can have a good couple days and then immediately be thrown back into the fire where he can blow another save for us. Is that really all it takes to prove "he is back"?? 2 goddamn innings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Still not throwing his curve for strikes, if he's throwing it at all. It's such a mistake to just annoint him after a mop-up inning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such a mistake to just annoint him after a mop-up inning. He did strike someone out looking on a back door breaking ball...but Putz looks just outright nasty these days, he would have closed the door on both of those blown saves I bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I credit both this board and sabermetrics as helping to make me more of a student of the game. And frankly, the more i learn, the more i dislike Ozzie.

elrockinMT Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) I was not overly impressed with Jenks comments about how he thought people were being too hard on him for blowing games. I don't think he has been throwing very well for awhile now Edited July 26, 2010 by elrockinMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Bobby's remarks are frustrating, but I guess I'd rather have him holding on to some shred of confidence rather than hanging his head and sounding lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm dying to know where he's hiding his curveball. Maybe he should go back to the stretch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
