I dunno man..
I’ll just say this:

It was a whole drunken mess of awesome fail.

No harm here I think
Put him on a tight leash with 2 runs, not in the pressure situation of a save. He looked pretty okay I thought.

This is still a really BIG event that Maddon had decided ahead of time to have Wheeler close over Percy.
Do it Wheels. Get three outs.

Can anyone please explain to me why Balfour is not the closer? WTF?
by TheUltimateBucFan on Sep 18, 2008 10:08 PM EDT reply actions
Because he's probably the best closer in the bullpen, and is much better used when brought in during jams.
Also, he’s pitched 2 in a row, I don’t think he’s available today.
*best reliever
A lesser pitcher can pitch an inning without giving up runs. It takes sack to come in and keep men on base from scoring.
this is just not true
the ideal model is a bullpen ace (a mixture of 7th, 8th, and 9th inning appearances). i agree with you there.
but given that Maddon will use a “closer”, the closer will appear in more important situations than a setup guy. look through the fangraphs leverage leader board. every team’s closer has a higher leverage index than any setup guy.

PERCY FOR CLOSER

Nobody else is man enough to say it, but this is Evan's fault.
If he hits more homeruns with runners on we don’t have to worry about this.
Hi folks
Just ticked over after seeing score on Gameday. Thought Percy wasn’t closing anymore… oh, oops!
Hey you’ll be fine – no worries!
by nyyfaninlaaland on Sep 18, 2008 10:25 PM EDT reply actions
I hope they've finally learned
That guys with high flyball to groundball ratios should not pitch in the 9th inning.
Wow
Soooooo…who should be closing again?
Certainties in Life: Death, Taxes, and Gabe Gross coming through in the ninth
Forget closing hindsight is 20:20 obviously but
if Price had finished the game we still have 12 other guys that could have started the DH after we had locked up a playoff spot against a worse team
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.
Isn't the question
whether Price could have finished today after the Yanks outing on Sunday?
Even if he went 2.2 today, he’d have 4 days rest before Tuesday.

And This Folks...
… is why the playoffs will be interesting. A number of contending teams have bullpens that could be best described as “Adventures.”
And despite the K-Rod hype (no doubt, an impressive thing, breaking that record), the Angels’ bullpen should not be seen as a playoff-lock. K-Rod could become an adventure right-quick.

I can’t take anymore of that. Bring on Raytober
As much as we hate on Percy
Wheeler isn’t the closer we need either
Certainties in Life: Death, Taxes, and Gabe Gross coming through in the ninth
Aussie should close
or god forbid, we just bring in whoever is doing the best and stop needing a closer
Thats the 10th time
Wheeler has came in with the lead or a tie and has ended up with a blown save or a loss.
I blame this loss on Sonnanstine
He is just too hittable
