cyberer 1,989 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) I’m a huge holland apologist but even I wont say that it isn’t norris for now. However, the “foreseeable future” roto world tagline is just irresponsible and lazy journalism. If you read what was actually said, it was basically what we already know- namely that if there was a save op today or tomorrow, it wouldn’t go to holland. He didn’t say anything resembling “foreseeable future.” "I don't think he'll be used in the ninth inning at this time," Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak said. "There were certainly some positive steps that we saw but unfortunately on Friday he just got in a situation where he just imploded. When you look at his resume and what he was able to do, we have to get him back to where he has that confidence that you know it's going to work." [regarding a minor league demotion]: "I'm not feeling that's our next step at the moment, but I don't think anything is off the table when looking at how to solve a problem," Mozeliak said. "That said, this guy is confident. He believes he can do this." "When he gets ahead and puts hitters away, that's what we need to see happening," Mozeliak said Edited May 2, 2018 by cyberer 1 Link to post Share on other sites
The Big Bat Theory 8,019 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) ^ Well reading the exact quote I'd translate that as the foreseeable future as well. That stuff was diplomatic-speak to say Holland sucks and isn't going to be closing any time soon. He has to prove himself and prove himself convincingly before he is considered again. A minor league stint isn't even being ruled out at this point either. So I see no lazy or irresponsible journalism in the least. In other news Kimbrel blew a save giving up a homer to Alex Gordon of all people and it is extra innings at Fenway as a result.

Been there before too but I’m desperate to find a closer. I think Bedrosian is a safe pickup if you only have one roster spot and both he and Anderson are out there. I opted for Anderson because he was all that was left after someone just snagged bedrosian. I do like the way Anderson has been used recently but this could go either way.

Ace_King 661 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) Giles in for the 9th with the game tied--already gave up three hits, including a three run homer. Only one out right now. To be fair, he was facing the heart of the Yankees starting with Judge. Edited May 2, 2018 by Ace_King Additional context 1 Link to post Share on other sites

JFS179 3,772 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Giles got hit hard tonight. Solid single by Judge; double by Didi, K’d Stanton cause that’s what everyone does, then a no doubt bomb to straightaway center by Sanchez. Gave up another single to Hicks before getting yanked.

They just don't want him to close right now lol Yes they would like him to close. That was what I said. I never said Holland would never close. I said the whole quote posted here by his manager was perfect manager-speak indicating that he won't be closing for the foreseeable future until he (Holland) PROVES he can close. The fact they haven't ruled out a minor league "therapy" stint says that in pretty bold script along with the rest of the wording. The original poster who posted this manager's quote said they thought it meant maybe an opportunity or two. My reply was to disagree that it would be that quick based on that same quote is all.
