April 30, 200519 yr comment_484841 Maybe Mecir can close? Who knows. Hopefully Mota will be ok, and we haven't needed a closer yet.

April 30, 200519 yr comment_484847 Well they have a bunch of guys at Triple A that are capable relief men, but hopefully Mota's injury isn't serious.

April 30, 200519 yr comment_484853 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.

April 30, 200519 yr comment_484854 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 Link to comment https://www.marlinsbaseball.com/topic/28043-mota-hurt-so-jones-is-the-new-closer/?&do=findComment&comment=484854 Share on other sites More sharing options...
April 30, 200519 yr comment_484855 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.

April 30, 200519 yr comment_484859 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?

April 30, 200519 yr comment_484861 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.
