more than half his saves he has at least 2 runs to work with

 

[elcheato]

Using saves is practically the same as using wins in an argument for starting pitchers.

Lmao. You act as if he is the only closer who has done this. I'm sure Kimbrel has had his fair share of those as well.

So your telling me in Game 7 of the World Series with a one run lead in the 9th, and you can have any closer in baseball your taking Valverde?

Considering he hasn't blown a save this season, and is the only closer to do this, yes?

 

[Mexi]

its pretty much exactly the same

i love when announcers bring up Ivan Nova's numbers

He still hasn't blown any of the one run games. Whereas Kimbrel has blown 5, and I'm assuming a few of those were 1 run games..

[elcheato]

Venters is right up there with Kimbrel.. Teams are going to have a tough time beating Atlanta in October.

 

[Mexi]

Braves pen is ridiculous......................if their arms dont fall off
they are used a ton

 

[snipezo]

Yea ATL's bullpen is sick.

 

[elcheato]

They just called up there top prospect recently to pitch out of the pen, so that should help.

 

[elcheato]

off topic but since Hafner got hurt today again, the Indians should bring back Thome.

 

[Mexi]

he's raking. he likes being a part time guy, but he could DH the rest of the year

he shoudlnt be in Colorado at this point
