Sure enough after that, Kent hit a ball that should have been a double, but since he loafed out of the box he only ended up on first. Next guy hit into a DP. Scuds is that true about the intensity? Also if it is, Torre is not a guy that will light fires under guys asses. He never had to in NY and he probably won't start in LA. Now Bowa on the other hand.

^^This is the problem. FKN fool can't figure out the guy has been choking for over 2 years now. It's not particularly about his position of closer. I don't think he is any more scared now than he would be in the 7th or 8th inning. He is simply a born choker. You can't just ignore this. As you can see, they are ignoring it. They will continue to take the punishment for their stupidity. Organization coddles players who should be gotten rid of. He can't stop choking. He would if he could. He can't. Blown 7saves , and surely will get to 10 or more this year.
BTW, since you bring Kent's name up, notice how he couldn't get a hit with men in scoring position, but did it when nobody was on. As far as a difference maker goes, he is incredibly overrated. In my opinion , he will be the 2nd -4TH worst player to ever go into the HOF( PEREZ #1.)
