After Curt Schilling gives up a homerun to Alex Rodriguez in the ninth inning, Jacob Luft predicts Curt Schilling will have trouble closing games for Boston.
The reason?
Because Schilling will probably give up too many homeruns:
"The Curt Schilling-as-closer experiment is off to a shaky start in Boston, and I can't say I'm surprised. Even a healthy Schilling -- and clearly, he is not 100 percent healthy -- wouldn't be suited for the closer role, to say nothing of a hobbled one. The most effective closers have two things going for them:
1) Control.
2) Keeping the ball in the yard."
Jacob Luft totally knew this was gonna happen. He was thinking it the whole time. He was gonna say.
