Ramp Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Mota is back in South Fla with elbow discomfort Spooney come back! and maybe this gives Messenger or Miadich the call if he goes on the DL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iowa Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Hopefully just precautionary Jones looks like he has the balls to save games for us tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foladar Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Maybe Mecir can close? Who knows. Hopefully Mota will be ok, and we haven't needed a closer yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramp Posted April 30, 2005 Author Share Posted April 30, 2005 Riedling would be the new setup guy man we are still stacked with vets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lefty Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Well they have a bunch of guys at Triple A that are capable relief men, but hopefully Mota's injury isn't serious. Go JWNES, (and as much as I hate to say it, you are so clever, Ramp) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishFan24 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Until Jones blows a save, he's my guy. :thumbup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSwift25 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Until Jones blows a save, he's my guy. :thumbup 758548[/snapback] Well, it looks like he's the guy this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollyberry Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I hope its just a day to day thing Get well soon Mota :prayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Away... Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Is Jones really that much of a step down from Mota anyway? I have not been impressed with Mota as the closer. Not bad, but not overly impressive either. I don't think Jones is any better or any worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJBurnett34 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Jones is a proven closer. I have no doubts in him. Did very good today against the phils on getting us out that jam and closing out the game in the 9th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geemoney Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Maybe Mecir can close? 758455[/snapback] Mecir can only pitch one inning per game and he can't pitch back-to-back days. I think that takes him out of the running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJBurnett34 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Maybe Mecir can close?? 758455[/snapback] Mecir can only pitch one inning per game and he can't pitch back-to-back days. I think that takes him out of the running. 758568[/snapback] He is our only other option right now. He will backup Jones for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accord Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Todd Jones has almost 200 career saves, if Mota is gone Todd Jones will gitrdun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did very good today against the phils on getting us out that jam and closing out the game in the 9th 758561[/snapback] Jones looked anything BUT solid in the 9th... he got bailed out by Rollins baserunning too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish2Repeat Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Do you guys think that Jones would be ready if neccessary tomorrow despite having thrown all of those pitches? On top of that, if he is ready, do you think he would be the first choice with that kind of rest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramp Posted April 30, 2005 Author Share Posted April 30, 2005 that is where he is hurting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlins2003 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 The guy pitched one and two-thirds innings tonight knowing (before the game started) "he" was the guy Jack entrusted tonight's victory to and that Mota was injured. If Mota is out for more than a few days one has to assume Jones going to pitch exclusively in the closer role until either Mota returns or another closer is acquired.
