How many times do we suffer through this BS. Our closer has lost it for whatever reason. We just keep running the struggling reliever out there because he is our "closer", he is "my guy". Izzy, Franklin, Mujica etc etc
Rosenthal can't locate the fastball. He has been riden too hard, something is hurt, whatever, you can't just say we play to win but you keep putting Rosenthal out there when the evidence is as clear that anyone can see there is an issue, a reason for concern.
If they are worried about upsetting the karma with moving Neshek to the 9th. Give Martinez a try in the 9th. He can usually keep it together and remain focused for one inning.
