Corriea through 7, 5 hits, 1 BB, 5 K's, 2 ER. Not too shabby, KC. Pitch count under 90. The only way Gardy takes him out in the 8th is if the Twins bat around and he freezes stiff on the bench.
If you ran a bar you'd be liable for over-serving. And KC is out of the second. Routine play for Florimon, terrible throw, great catch and stretch by Dozier.
The best reality check is to read all the way to the end of the article. "The overriding message is this: Don't get too excited or too down about this year with Correia. Enjoy it while it's good, be prepared for if it gets bad, and help is on the way."
I understand the argument about closers being overvalued, and I definitely get frustrated when a team blows a lead in a key situation in the 8th with the closer on the bench. Even so, there's still something special when a really good closer starts the 9th. Those of us who lived through the Ron Davis years have a lot to work through.
