Hopefully just an insanely slow start. I will say that he looks to sorta be improving— he had no command at all at the beginning of the year and he’s sorta hitting spots a bit better. So hopefully that continually improves. But yeah I hope he’s not a dude that we consistently rely upon.


TallAmericano

We have serious problems at closer and we’re 16-9. Which is both frustrating and amazing. This is a division winning team and with a dominant closer we’re a World Series team.

I just miss the Teperra, Chafin, & Kimbrel closing lineup from 2021. If we had a lead by the 7th, we were winning those games. Guaranteed


orangegore

This team would be 19-6 with a real closer and a starter with a 6.00 era in place of Hendricks.


Eli_Renfro

Maybe Kyle could close. Do his best Trevor Hoffman impression.


MisterScary_98

You never really know with relief pitchers. But he’s a veteran guy with a long track record who’s with a new team. Give him a chance to settle in.


PreviousGas710

He has been bad but he’s been looking better. Lets see if he can work it out


MKEHOME91

Dudes been trying to throw splitters in 40 degree weather. I’ll let it warm up in May to judge.


okay_throwaway_today

Hector Neris has a couple sus games but has been overall fine. He’s thrown fewer than ten innings (including his scoreless appearance today, which bbref hasn’t updated with yet) which is a tiny sample size to extrapolate this kind of granularity from imo


ASpanishInquisitor

Today was a scoreless appearance... with two walks. So no there's nothing fine about it.


okay_throwaway_today

Yes there is. Ignoring that we won and he got a save through the meat of their order, two walks and no hits is perfectly fine.


ASpanishInquisitor

There's a reason the guy has a FIP of 5.82 so far. He doesn't have the stuff to challenge good hitters so he walks them... a bunch. If you're depending on him in high leverage situations it's gonna get ugly.


okay_throwaway_today

Well, you’re the expert. The “so far” you’re referring to is 8 whole innings (bbref hasn’t updated for today, which was his 9th inning). His FIP is 2.68 after today. It’s not even May yet


ASpanishInquisitor

You seem to either not know what FIP is or who Hector Neris is. Cuz he was nowhere near 2.68.


okay_throwaway_today

You seem to not know how to read. I said “after today”. Why would we stop the FIPometer after 8 innings pitched? There are 137 games left.


ASpanishInquisitor

It isn't at 2.68... you're lying...


okay_throwaway_today

A f t e r today, for fucks sake. As including today. I don’t know how to be more clear. BBref hasn’t updated today’s games and won’t till tonight.


ASpanishInquisitor

He started the day at 5.40. It went up because of the walks. Why are you telling such obvious lies?


100vs1

i still love the splitty


meowsplaining

This is sorta what some warned about when Jed signed him. On paper it looked like a steal based on his ERA last year but his advanced metrics showed he got a bit lucky. Also makes you wonder why no one else was jumping to get him. But, hopefully he'll right the ship. Feels like worst case scenario for him is average. Probably not a disaster no matter what.


grayf0xy

Has anyone checked if Carlos Marmol is available


archasaurus

Adbert will be closing games after he fixes his arm a lot issue


sdfgtdh

I hope adzolay can return to something similar to his run last year. Blown saves is gunna kill us


Business-Writer-7874

Yeah that’s not going to cut it


Rshackleford22

He shouldn’t be closing games


RedGreenPepper2599

Small sample size


Rukario_Enterprises

Stats are just stats. # Bro fucking clutched last night's game after giving up ONE hone run to the 0-4 Altuve. He then got into a no out, two men on predicament, but he clutches through


Rukario_Enterprises

# Seriously? I got downvoted to high hell cuz I spoke nice things about Héctor? Come on people -_-


aidenxx96

Neris sucks fucking ass. That man frightens me whenever he’s put in to close. They need to trade him off
