Almost a month ago after they acquired him. It only says he could see some high leverage innings. Oh, and it’s the GM talking, not the manager who actually makes the decision. I mean, maybe Pressly sees some save opps, but it’s highly unlikely with the arms they have now. But either way, posting this link is absolutely meaningless (no offense).

ValhallaVikings 10 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I don't see why so many writers assume rondon is gonna lose the closer gig. Even before osuna came back it was like a ticking time bomb. Last night he gave up the big double but the play at the plate should've been an out. Wasn't enoigh evidence to overrule call on the field. For the most part rondon has been very solid and the commentators last night I'm pretty sure said that was his first run given up on the road all season And... It shouldn't have been a run scored anyway Link to post Share on other sites

He’s there, which COULD make a decision like that easier for a manager Link to post Share on other sites

He’s there, which COULD make a decision like that easier for a manager He's blown two saves but I saw alot of articles making the assumption he would instantly lose his job once ocuna was activated even while he was pitching very consistent. Seems like the bearish outlook was there prior to any of his struggles. Even after taking over from Giles for a month writers still seemed very bearish on rondon. He's done a good job, and I still say last night was a blunder.. As we're out at the plate, and even if not there shouldn't have been enough evidence to overrule call on field Link to post Share on other sites

It's hard to tell, but he was seen in the bullpen after his appearance today t-bagging a cardboard cutout of himself, so I'm guessing he thinks he's dead for the season.

Hope his control this year is real, he had no idea where it was going when he came up a couple years ago. Leclerc had an off day today. He only struck out 1. Link to post Share on other sites
