So what's the point of firing Matheny if the new guys just going to put Holland in close situations as well?

Kevlar can verify that earlier today I said that at least we got our really bad relievers work on Friday like Holland and Cecil, so hopefully they wouldn't get used today. :sigh:

Trying to restore broken closers confidence is in most manager's playbooks sadly.

Mike had started his "grind the young guy into paste in the 8th" routine on Hicks; Holland was approaching 7th inning or mopup duty.
