Who else can we add to this list? These guys are garbage. I can't count how many times these closers have burned me this season.
How can you be a professional pitcher and not be able to throw strikes? Moreover, how can you be a closer when you throw meat and flat out suck?
Valverde tried to screw me today. He walks the lead off batter in the 9th, which is very typical when my team is leading by only one run in the last inning, then the dumbass hits a batter after having an 0-2 count. He then falls behind 3-1 on the next batter but Cleveland sacrifices the runners over...thank goodness, I'm sure he would have walked him. Then he somehow gets lucky and the game ends.
Cleveland had two runners in scoring position without even getting a hit. It was ridiculous.
As for Isringhausen, I'm so glad he doesn't play for the Cardinals anymore. I can't count how many times this guy blew games. He can't throw strikes and throws like 88 mph down the middle.
So my question is, why are these loses closers? Everytime one of them comes in the game you're on the verge of losing. At the very least these guys should be able to throw strikes. They're supposed to be professionals. They typically walk the lead off batter which leads to a sac bun and then there is a guy in scoring position with one out and it's just complete luck if they get out of it.
