Always an interesting ending with Addison Reed out there.

 

He simply HAS to learn how to trust his secondary stuff...and the catcher has to call it. Force him to throw non-fastballs.

 

 

Great games by Rios, Flowers and YOUK. Wise picked up Beckham for a key RBI.

 

Tigers and White Sox hold serve. Tigers' fans must be wondering when we're going to lose.

 

Huge series set up for next week at BALT and at DET. Orioles won again vs. the hapless Blue Jays, now 12 games over .500.

Sox win 5-4.........................Reed really struggling right now.

 

I don't know about that. He had 2 runs to work with.

He may have f***ed my fantasy team ERA, but he got the save with room to spare. The second base hit was a broken bat single. That's not struggling. The home run? He had a two run lead and nobody on base. He threw a meaty fastball that got crushed. But no harm, no foul, except to my fantasy team. He did OK IMO.

Atta boy Addison shut these "Addison Reed is not a f***in closer" up...It's his rookie year, he'll have bumps and until recently he's been a pretty damn good closer.

 

 

I don't think that performance tonight exactly quieted most of his detractors.

The point is that Seager's a FASTBALL hitter.

 

Needs to trust or at least use his slider more often than he has been.

I just don't understand his style, I thought a closer needed to be deceptive. Reed doesn't throw curves or sliders or anything like that from what I can tell, he just throws fastballs and changeups afaict
