peanut33tillman Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I'm not even that relieved we got that last out. I feel helpless going into extras with a team whos ridin high with late heroics at home nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Thornton will not be the closer by June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Not bagging on the team. I loved the comeback today, but why is it so tough to close when you are named THE CLOSER? Matt was amazing at times last year when he was not the closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Sale would be better as a closer. He has 2 above average pitches, AJ just puts down 1 finger when Matt pitches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's pitched in more high-leverage situations than a lot of closers over the last few years, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how you can feel that way. I'd rather lose 6-0 then score 4 off the second best closer in baseball with two out and nobody on to take the lead only to give the game away.

WCSox Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 QUOTE (Real @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 02:03 PM) Sale would be better as a closer. He has 2 above average pitches, AJ just puts down 1 finger when Matt pitches Thornton has always reminded me of a lefty Kyle Farnsworth with much better command. I've never been comfortable with a one-trick pony closing. But it's very difficult to argue with his last few years, especially considering that he was often brought in tight situations against accomplished hitters.
