Guardado May Lose Job to Putz.....

[Daddymike59]

After entering a tie game to start the ninth, Eddie Guardado walked four batters tonight and took his second straight loss.

Our Take
Disgusting. It was especially surprising coming from Guardado, who hasn't walked more than 18 batters in a year since 2001. Guardado threw 38 pitches in the inning, so expect him to get Friday off, leaving J.J. Putz in position to pick up another save opportunity. If Guardado doesn't get his act together soon, he might lose his job to Putz.

But the thing is , Putz stinks..

He has a 4.00 era...

I doubt Eddie loses the gig anytime soon, but look out for Soriano. That dude is SICKKKKKKK!!!

For one night, at least, Putz should get the chance.

Eddie had that 38-pitch bomb, and Soriano faced six batters in 1.1 innings and will almost certainly get the night off while still on a comeback watch from the TJ surgery.

Guardado might lose his job or maybe get traded but my money is on Soriano also, not Putz.

Soriano owners

pray that Guardado blows 2-3 more saves between now and the middle of May...

Unless Guardado is hurt, he's not going to lose his job to Putz. Putz is not a good pitcher. Soriano is not ready to become the closer.
