If Hanigan doesn't throw that ball into CF that run doesn't score. Report
April 14, 201115 yr comment_983514 Why Masset continues to be put in tight games is mind boggling. He needs to be sent down to get his mechanics together or something. 4th straight time he's done this, come on Dusty. Report

[/quote] Until he shows he can pitch better he should not be put in tight games. He's clearly the worst reliever in the bullpen currently. Report
April 14, 201115 yr Author comment_983521 I dont rip on dusty often, but hes an idiot throwing masset out there game after game in these close games. Let him get his stuff together before putting him back in these close games. Report
April 14, 201115 yr Author comment_983523 4 losses 3 on masset. get a fucking clue dusty stop putting him in these situations you are helping no one. Report
April 14, 201115 yr comment_983524 Dusty is stupid for continuing to put Masset out there. He now has 3 of the teams 4 losses.. Report
April 14, 201115 yr comment_983529 Masset = The suck HE is 0-3 this week. This team could be 11-1 if it weren't for him. I have absolutely no confidence in him. I don't see why Dusty does. Report
April 14, 201115 yr comment_983532 Who was Baker supposed to put in after Chapman was forced to leave? Cordero for 1 2/3rd inning save? Ondursek who just pitched 1 2/3rd innings last night? Bray who has pitched in 4 of the last 5 days? Maloney who is basically a mop up/inning eater? He went with Masset and then Hanigan threw the ball away which allowed the tying run to reach 3rd with 1 out and then score on a ground out. Report
April 14, 201115 yr comment_983537 That's got to be so frustrating for pitchers to go out there and have a great game, only to see it ruined. Bummer for Wood. Report

Masset's early season struggles throughout his career are well documented. I can see putting him out there to pitch, but you have to have a short leash. These stats are before last night's game ...

Of course not right now, he is struggling... You don't praise the move until he snaps out of it and starts kicking ass again... Just think back to last season when they were struggling with some cold bats.. He got massive criticism for continuing to plug the guys into the batting order.. Then the team got hot and Dusty was a genius with his hands on all the right buttons. I remember at the end of last season everyone praising Dusty for his wisdom to stick with struggling players who became instrumrntal in our push for the div championship. It's a long season and we are doing well. We will lose more games. But if Masset can get his shit straightened out he will be very valuable in the games ahead. This is not football where you can lose out of the race early. Report

I am not going to praise Dusty later for running a guy out there 3 times in a week, just because he feels he HAS to be the set up man for Cordero. A managers job is to make moves to win games. These games now are just as important as the games in September. They all count. I know we will lose more games. That's what makes losing games they should have won hurt. Find another way to get his shit straightened out without costing the team wins. I mean they were winning in every instance that he was brought in. HE lost them. Give him a short leash, something. Don't just sit there and watch him literally throw the damned game away. Report
