Bochy: 'Just when it seems you are getting things kind of figured out and in order, there is another hiccup.'
. On Friday, nearly two months later, Bochy was the most definitive he’s been about the hazy situation. He said he will close with Chapman for the foreseeable future. Of course, he tried closing with Chapman Monday in Arizona. Chapman allowed a game-tying homer. It’s one of three blown saves in the last four games.: Metrics suggest there hasn’t been much difference with Will Smith’s fastball as the season has worn on. It’s a bit below average, but he’s gotten by with a sharp slider.
“There is no question I miss it; I’m not going to lie,” he said. “[Thursday] was a perfect situation for it. But it’s the game. It’s all about adjusting. There’s nothing you can do once you put them in.”Hernández has the stuff to be an effective late-inning reliver. You could however make a somewhat convincing argument, that all the bullpen trouble this season started with him in the first place.
The options are limited and so is time, but what’s become clear again in August is the Rangers must continue plugging in pieces to try to solve the biggest puzzle of Bochy’s career.
