#4 Posted: 7/5/2012 10:12:03 PM I remember back in '07 and '08 there were A TON of blown late leads and saves. The years after it had stellar closers and bullpens. This year...NOT SO MUCH. |

#6 Posted: 7/5/2012 10:12:55 PM Granted, but they are in the toughest position in baseball. How often is a starter succesful? Once every 2 starts if that? |

#7 Posted: 7/5/2012 10:14:01 PM Plus it looks a lot worse when degenerates are betting 8 games a day, and they're getting a blown save everyday.  |

#15 Posted: 7/5/2012 10:21:12 PM The talent pool has shrunk because too many teams exist. This will continue to happen.

#21 Posted: 7/5/2012 10:36:05 PM Papelbon's was bad because he had 2 outs and 2 strikes 3 times in a row and missed all 3 times. No clutch pitches in his arsenal, he only throws heaters and not with that much command

#22 Posted: 7/5/2012 10:39:32 PM Some of these closers should be re-labelled "openers", as in "open the floodgates".
