"I’m committed right now," McClendon said, "if he’s closing out a game, to getting him some help in the ninth on the front end if there’s a tough lefty or something. Anything to try to jump-start him. Listen, we need (Rodney). If we’re going to make a run at this, and be as successful as we think we’re going to be, we’ve got to have him." It seems as though McClendon wants Rodney to win his closer job back, but for now Carson Smith, who has recorded the club's last two saves, looks like the best bet in the ninth inning.
