We should probably not rely on gregory to close games in the playoffs.

sad to watch Greg crumble. he's been such a big part of this team. but if you have no fastball, your other pitches better be unhittable. He's done. I'm sad, but he's done.

Greg Holland, where have you gone?

wetwillie · « **Reply #47510 on:** September 18, 2015, 10:48:09 PM »

I think mad dog has earned the 8th and davis the 9th.

Talking on 610 about just benching holly. Just another 5th 6th inning guy.

Few things represent what this team has been the past 3 years quite like HDH. We played 6 inning ball games. Sad to see that unravel.

Ned said in postgame that he isn't concerned about Greg. Then he got angry when more Holland questions came and he refused to discuss Greg anymore.

MHD will be just about as dominant.

Ned's never going to come out and throw somebody under the bus. What Ned says after a disappointing loss doesn't really matter, like, at all.

Holly just lost his closer role tonight. And I'm being serious and its only my gut saying that

With that said, had Davis just pitched the 8th....even had he given up 1 run, Holly pitches the 9th up 3-2 likely facing the 6-7-8 hitters, not Gose Kinsler Miggy (8-15 combined tonight).

Leaving a starter in the 8th has again cost us a game vs Det (Volqy vs Det in Aug).

We have been spoiled, but Greg Holland 2013-2014 is the best a closer has been in this franchise's history.

Rios, Cueto, Infante, you can argue any of the guys who have struggled in 2015 haven't earned the leash they've been given, Greg has. Greg earned the 2nd, 3rd, 4th chance because he has been so good. Greg Holland was better than Soria, Monty, Quiz, Roberto Hernandez, any of them.

When it goes, sometimes it goes fast. Greg Holland is now an ordianry releiver, and he'll never be a valuable part of this team again. JMHO.

they'll give him more chances in the regular season. most likely he'll continue along his current trajectory - and when the time comes, they'll move him along. i wouldn't be surprised if he isn't on the post season roster. if he's not the closer, i don't know that he has a role. you can't afford to waste roster spots.

So either the Royals will win, or Greg Holland will be that much closer to losing the closer's job. Good news either way.

yep, this was accurate.

I doubt he gets another chance as closer. He's done though. I trust Guthrie more.
