August 30, 200817 yr GREGG SUXS UNDER PREASURE we need a new closer nexy year who do you want it to be
August 30, 200817 yr Kevin Gregg sucks nuts! I thought that Fredi would've changed Gregg's role already, but if he doesn't do it now then I'm afraid I would have to get rid of him too.
August 30, 200817 yr Author i want tucke i 2010 or like middle of 09 but Lindy or some 1 else has to finish it off this year
August 30, 200817 yr i want tucker in because he is the future and we are basically done. And he has the stuff to be a dominate closer. A great fastball with movemant and a good change up.
August 30, 200817 yr i want tucke i 2010 or like middle of 09 but Lindy or some 1 else has to finish it off this year Give Tucker a couple tries! It's 3 outs...no big deal. You either have it or you don't. We have nothing to lose! We're 7 games back, with a month left...and not only chasing the Mets...but the Phillies, as well. It's over. It's been a damn good year...for what was expected. I want to see the future now. Tucker has dominated AA, all season. Give him a second call-up...and give the 21 year old, a SHOT. If he fails once or twice, take him out, and make sure his confidence level doesn't go down. If he gets some saves, you get his confidence up, going into next year. With Noly, JJ, Volstad, Miller, and Anibal...there's no room for Tucker in the near future rotation. Closer! Other options: Lindstrom Kensing De La Cruz
August 30, 200817 yr How about Tucker making it to the big leagues and staying for a season before you throw him to the lions den. Lindstrom should be the closer. His offseason plans are to go to Puerto Rico and find-then locate the off-spead pitch. He will be dominant next year guarantee.
August 30, 200817 yr While we dolphins fans enjoy football, and erick enjoys hockey, the marlins should just call up our prospects that have a shot next year, including pitchers. Id like to see aaron thompson called up.

His offseason plans are to go to Puerto Rico and find-then locate the off-spead pitch. He will be dominant next year guarantee. Most of his (Tucker's) struggles came as a starter. He was never really given a shot, as a reliever. And it's a huge difference...especially when you only have 2 pitches (as Tucker does).

Other options: Lindstrom Kensing De La Cruz why not as i remembered he always started great but couldnt get out of the 4 or 5th innings hopefully hes like hendrickson and becomes a very useful releiver
August 30, 200817 yr This is how i see it, Lindstrom finishes out the season as closer, if he succeeds, he is closer next year, if he fails, Ryan Tucker and Lindstrom battle it out next spring training to see who is closer

He was never really given a shot, as a reliever. And it's a huge difference...especially when you only have 2 pitches (as Tucker does). Erik you make a good point. I believe a relievers role is very challenging especially as a closer. The players who face the closer are concentrating more than they have all game. The intensity has built all game long so you are facing the best a hitters got. I too am excited for the September call ups and I wouldn't be opposed to see some of the young kids come in there and add new life. This will be good experience for all of them. Whoever the closer is next year, it's safe to say that it won't be Kevin. He is probably done now.

He is probably done now. not to be obnoxious and bratty but ive been a closer in crods bigger then the 10,000 that gregg has to pitch in and yea there is adranilne and intensity but if you use that to yourr advantage you feel untouchable i mean he gets 2 freakin outs the he gives 2 hits and hits a guy then the Grandslam you cant change the way you pitch after 1 or 2 hits he has to throw the fastball low and not use the splitter at all because its the worst pitch ever ive ever seen

He played for Ponce like two years ago. He blames that he did so well his rookie season because he went and played a month out there. He just has to find that off speed pitch and throw it with confidence.

I wish they would have let Lindy pitch the 9th and if he got in trouble then you bring Gregg in. This was a terrible, terrible, heartwrenching loss.

This was a terrible, terrible, heartwrenching loss. yep yeap its hard to keep watching this over and over knowing that 1 guy is ruining it for a lot of players who can and should be in the playoffs right now every 1 f***s up but gregg is the king of f***ing up
August 30, 200817 yr Another option could turn out being...Henry Owens. When is he coming back? Any updates on him? Been a long time, since I heard one. When Julio left, and before Gregg took over the role last year...Owens was actually the closer...before going on the DL. So I'm sure he'd be an option, if healthy.

Could be but I heard a rumor that they are going to bury him. He had a shoulder problem like 1 1/2 months into last season and has been on the DL ever since. Pichers who have tommy john surgery come back faster than that bumb. He will get healthy; the marlins will make sure that he is and then in my opinion he is gone. He is on the 40 man roster and is still making the big league minimum because he was hurt on the active roster. I'll bet Loria is pissed.
August 30, 200817 yr PLAY FOR THE FUTURE. Lets see what Tucker's got in September! By Tucker, you mean LINDSTROM!
