    How many games have been lost by closers this year?

    I would really like to run some numbers on this, I was on TB earlier today, and they take a 3-2 lead in the top of the 9th... only for Fernando Rodney to give up a game tying HR in the bottom of the 9th to Joey Bats - who happened to go 4-4 w/ 2 HR and 4 RBIs, literally all of the Jays offense.

    Additionally I was on the Padres when Jesus Guzman tied the game with a grand slam against Tampa Bay, only to have Houston Street give up a 2 run HR to Evan Longoria in the bottom of the 9th in the trop.

    All these closers that I mentioned above, and around the league - John Johnson - Baltimore, Jose Valverde ( this is obvious), Fernando Rodney, Houston Street, Anything LA dodgers related.. add anything you guys feel necessary:


    And yet remains a constant: Mariano Rivera, and have to give credit to Jason Grilli "The grilled cheese" have converted every save opportunity.

    Have to add Health Bell (former Padre) and JJ Putz to the loser list.

    I think the World Baseball Classic took something out of him, he pitched many innings, he's just a shadow of his former self from last year - although that's hard to replicate.

    Cubbies would be the worst imo, I'd think they'd have close to a winning record if they had a competent bullpen.

    Valverde has been decent this season so far.

    Another to add to the solid closer list is Tom Wilhelmsen, guy usually gets it done with little fuss.
