He's human, and therefore entitled to struggle occasionally.
The hell with that...He's paid to be better than that....I can tolerate a base runner....even a run allowed...but 2 more runs while leaving two more on...Now that's just unprofessional.......

Every closer blows multiple games per year.
A sampling of 2013 closer salaries...
Rivera ($15 million) Papelbon ($11 million) H. Bell ($10 million) Marmol ($10 million) Nathan ($8 million) Street ($7.5 million) Perez ($7.5 million) Soriano ($7 million) Jim Johnson ($6.5 million) Chapman ($5 million)
I would argue that the Orioles are actually getting a solid deal at Johnson's currently salary. More impressively, they only paid $2.5 million last year to get a league-leading 51 saves. In terms of value, you could do much, much worse. Like Craig Kimbrel's struggles a month ago, Johnson's current rough spell likely ends up as a blip on the radar.
