Rodney blows the save… does it really matter?
Interesting question: Does it matter that Rodney is blowing saves? I guess it hurts his trade value. Here’s what we know: He will not be the closer on the 2009 Detroit Tigers. At this rate, he may not be on the team.
I looked at the score, saw that we were up going into the ninth, that Rodney was pitching, and thought “well, at least Miner looked good.” That is what it has come down to — The season sucks anyway, and to me they’re just playing for 2009. And for some reason I knew Rodney was going to blow the save.
The bullpen will continue to be a problem for the rest of the year. Hopefully something changes in 2009. Whether it be recent draft picks being called up, other farm system arms, or a combination of free agency / trades, we shouldn’t be in this jam again. At least, not if we plan on contending.
