For Sam Dyson, Rangers say nothing to see here
Closer Sam Dyson is fine, Banister said, a day after Dyson walked consecutive batters in the process of throwing nine consecutive balls and loaded the bases Sunday afternoon before preserving the Rangers’ win. Dyson declined to discuss Sunday’s outing. Banister isn’t alarmed. In short, Banister said, the command issues most likely are the result of three days between outings.
“Sam’s alright. Sam’s fine,” Banister said. “I’m not going to over analyze or under analyze. I know what it is. He had a couple walks, gave up a base hit and then he got three outs.”
Bottom line, Banister said, Dyson got out of the mess and did his job.
“It’s the life and times of a closer,” he shrugged.
