Backdoor Slider 8,359 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 So...Claudio got a 2nd straight save for Texas. Now what? I mean, opportunity is half the battle. Numbers look solid. Not a ton of Ks, but doesn't walk anyone. Maybe he runs with it. Link to post Share on other sites
absknicks 3,012 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 What a job by Claudio tonight. Wouldn't be surprised if Bannister just continues to go to him in the 9th (even when Kela returns) until he gives him a reason not to. Link to post Share on other sites
Whizzinator 108 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Claudio has an insane GB rate, so that's a plus for him. He didn't start ninth tonight and came in for the lefty, Hosmer (though he stayed on for righty Perez). My read is he's still situational, and with Kela looming I'm not sure I'd invest much. But if desparate for saves and have a spot (and already have Kela) why not? He'd be below Kela on my list, and I'm typically an 'opportunity' guy on saves. Link to post Share on other sites

I think he was situational before he entered the 9th tonight but performances like that can take you from situational to "interim closer" awfully quickly. Especially since he was great last night in the 9th as well. Link to post Share on other sites

tyrone biggums 41 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Madson has better numbers more stable injury wise and more closing experience. You combine that with Dusty Baker managing and it's probably him. Link to post Share on other sites
