Valverde splits

http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.cgi?id=valvejo01&year=Career&t=p#clutc::none

Tie game numbers stand out like a sore thumb, but you could argue it's a small sample size.

I shut it off, but I just can't not watch the game. Putting myself through misery.

It's 12-4 Betancourt. No need for this 5 minutes between pitches bullshit again.

Post game fireworks! oh they should cancel that shit!

No way, people paid good money to see something slightly entertaining tonight.

It's funny how all the new fans aren't aware that Valverde is terrible in non-save situations and don't think this is Jim's fault.

I know, right? The Tigers should always reserve one pitcher just so our crappy closer doesn't have to pitch in the occasional tie game.

 

[buddyboy2121]

Fuck this shit.

It's worth's locker next to Delmons or something, that's two consecutive K's on ball in the dirt for worthless.

You don't understand, Valverde is fucking terrible in tie games. Jim knows this but has ignored it and lost us the fucking game.

Damn and the Sox are beating Kershaw 3-1 early...

You realize that by arguing that Valverde is garbage you're just backing up the comments that Leyland was an idiot to use him?

You're trying to have your cake and eat it too.

The fans get a double show tonight.

Watching Marte and Valverde get lit up was spectacular.

You don't understand, teams have a limited number of pitchers and closers are sometimes called on to pitch in tie games.

You know, maybe Verlander could have given them an inning tonight.

1st interleague win?

 

[biggunsbob]

The numbers are really bad for JV in tie games...

 

[buddyboy2121]

Warning track power!

Doubt it, they're just bad hitters, along with most of this team.

1st Interleague win this year for the Rockies. 1-9. *vomits*

He had Marte available to begin with. Use him.

Now we know your stupid....No starter would come in unless they had to in a really long extra inning game.. Keep yapping.... LOL

Obviously JV pitched like crap, he gets more of the blame.

I understand the all others have been used, tie-game scenario. But it's not a hidden fact Valverde is terrible in non save situations. He just is, can't get it done. So for that JL Leyland gets a chunk of the blame as well.
