Hey whatever, I'll take the save! Picked Coffey up about two weeks ago. He's the first closer I sit if I need room for my starters, otherwise I keep him in there hoping for a game like tonight.

Why would Coffey have no leash? The guy's ERA is barely over 1 and he's pitched more than one inning plenty of times this year. If anyone has no leash, it's Weathers.

Cinci management seem to want Weathers closing games, not Coffey. I have to agree that had Coffey looked at all in trouble Weathers would have come in, I think he has the longer leash atm. Inexplicable as that may be.
After Todd Coffey earned his second save Wednesday against the Cubs, Reds manager Jerry Narron indicated that he's now the team's closer.
Asked if Coffey would get the ball in the next save situation, Narron said, "I believe he will." Coffey has a 1.20 ERA to David Weathers' 3.24 mark. He's not going to keep pitching like this, but he'll probably do well enough to keep the closer's role for the rest of the season. May. 31 - 11:42 pm et
