He will be able to go one inning as a closer not 2 innings as was the case before...a few times. Even IF he were to fail...I doubt it...we have a couple of pitchers that may be able to fill the gap! It seemed to me he was going for the perfect pitch too many times...not smart!ken reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501114589046544682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-40368222942597081242014-02-10T12:36:35.103-05:002014-02-10T12:36:35.103-05:00Oh of course but my goal is to incite anarchy!

But as you said the statistics speak for themselves I can comfortably say that I have no concerns about Robertson.

Statistics are statistics and you can't change them. Rivera was probably working with a larger strike zone in the late '90's than Robertson was in the last few years. Maybe due to reputation, maybe due to the fact that umpires weren't under as much scrutiny as they are now. That might explain the descrepancy in batters chasing pitches.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05687487174545518045noreply@blogger.com
