Pitcher with very limited postseason experience, has trouble finding the strike zone and is coming off major arm surgery. What could go wrong? May would have to a 180 from where he's been lately before he should be trusted in high leverage situations. There's a reason some of these internet wizards don't have jobs in legit media (whatever that is).
if treinen isn't ready, my closer choice(s) would be phillips and vesia both throw strikes both have been great, especially lately 6th, 7th and 8th innings... 1st choices: martin, graterol, kahnle and (if healthy) almonte other possibilities: ferguson, pepiot, may, bickford and grove not on the roster: kimbrel
Hudson/Treinen injuries might prove to be killer. Give me either one of those guys in the closer role when they're healthy. I think Phillips would do a really good job but he's been the ultimate get out of jail free card for the team. Seems like he always enters the game in a tight situation and finds a way out of it. If Evan becomes closer, I don't know who fills that role
Alden González✓@Alden_Gonzalez Craig Kimbrel has been removed as the Dodgers’ closer, at least for now. He’ll pitch in a variety of roles moving forward, and the Dodgers will handle it by committee. Pretty decent chance that’s how it looks in October, too. 4:28 PM · Sep 23, 2022 · Twitter for iPhone
2023. Not this year. Same with Pepiot. One of these years the Dodgers have to develop some of these young arms into bullpen pieces.
that's very very true but what would be the harm in letting him try it since there's really nothing to lose atm? could be a natural
and exactly how it was back when kenley was closing seemed like treinen always came in to face the toughest outs
i think we're really lucky to get a witch like Kahnle back after losing Treinen apparently Martin should start closing imo he's that guy
