In 25 save opportunities this year the Nats have blown 11 of them. Hunter 4, Edwards 2, Thompson 2, Finnegan 2 (with 10 saves), Ramirez 1.
Josh Hader has the highest percentage of saves in opportunities in MLB at 86%. Kyle Finnegan is second at 83%.
Let's say the Nats hadn't blown just 5 of those saves. They would be 26-24 and right in the thick of it. With the starting pitching they're getting, they could be in it if they hadn't blown so many save opportunities.

remember a blown save is a blown 3 run or fewer lead by a reliever in any inning, not just the 9th. also, a 3 run or fewer lead that is not blown and turned over to another reliever is a hold, not a save. if your argument is, "harvey cannot be trusted in the 9th because he has 4 blown saves and only 2 saves," then tell me how many are 9th inning blown saves.
