Posted July 24, 200321 yr Why do the Marlins keep putting Looper and Almanza in. Everytime they enter a game they either blow the lead or come real close to doing it. Can anybody explain why they don't use Ugey for a closer, or at least bring up somebody from the minors, like they did with Bump. I mean they can't do any worse. :banghead

July 24, 200321 yr Looper just has Problems on the Road.... At Home he has a ERA of 1.21 and a average against of .217 at Away games he has a ERA of 4.56 and a average Against of .295 Also Surprisingly Uggy Urbina does better on the Road than at home.... Use Urbina on the Road to close and Looper at Home.... :mischief2
July 24, 200321 yr dude, looper has 4, count them 4 blown saves this season, that is not bad at all he is 19-23 in saves, i think thats right anyways, and atleast two of those games i know we have won anyways, relax, looper gets it done, he's gonna notch a couple saves before this time next week and you will be singing a different song
July 24, 200321 yr If thats to me I like Looper as the Closer... I just Prefer him Pitching at home where he seems to pitch better....
July 24, 200321 yr Thats hilarious putting Looper and Almanza in the same category. Looper has blown 4 saves this year (same number as Urbina). Three of those times, the Marlins have come back to win the game. I could go on and on, but its just not worth it. Looper is not a problem.

July 24, 200321 yr i agree Ross and FishFan fo'Life....he may not be the best closer...but to be in the same sentence as Almanza is absurd. His ERA speaks for itself. I am a big fan of the idea of Loop at home, Urbina on the road. And before everyone jumps on Urbina's balls, give him a chance to prove himself. He's pitched what 4 innings? Please.

I was going to post this exact paragraph, but you already did! You can't put Loop and AA together. That's disrespectful to a real pitcher...
July 24, 200321 yr Looper is no problem but AA needs to gtfo out of here !!!! Why doesnt Jack put Urbina on the road since he better ? like someone said...
July 24, 200321 yr Looper is no problem but AA needs to gtfo out of here !!!! Why doesnt Jack put Urbina on the road since he better ? like someone said... cause that is just bad for moral, we can only have ONE closer, loop hasn't pitched himself out of it yet, relax guys, he's only blown 4 saves, 3 of which we won, so really he has screwed up ONCE all year, relax
July 24, 200321 yr cause that is just bad for moral, we can only have ONE closer, loop hasn't pitched himself out of it yet, relax guys, he's only blown 4 saves, 3 of which we won, so really he has screwed up ONCE all year, relax Exactly. Looper is a great closer. We didn't trade for Uggy because we had closing problems, but because closer was the only place we didn't have a problem in the pen...
