he got the save - but a leadoff walk and then a hit to the 7th and 8th batters - this guy is no closer (yet). and if it wasnt for him and rivera, the Nats may be riding a 6 game winning streak with a 6-7 record. and if that were the case, we'd be dreaming of a better than .500 season. But we're just 3-10 and hoping for 60 wins.
Right. He got out of it by luck and stupidity by the Braves. Two nights in a row he couldn't locate pitches. Every good closer gives up hits at some point, but you have to at least be in control. He looked like crap. And he admitted that he threw the wrong pitch and got lucky. He spazzed with two on and Chipper on deck. He has a long way to go.
