Who's the secomd greatest closer in MLB history?

[stevenash]

Billy Wagner

The man with the 10 ERA in the post season.
He was one of tje shortest pitchers in modern times, but he can toss it 100 mph

[pilebuck13]

Norm Charleton

[Chi_archie]

Felipe Rivero



soon

[MinnesotaFats]

Tom Henke would be my pick and honestly, in post season, id take him over Rivera

[PittsburghPlayer]

Trevor Hoffman?

he blew my parlay, the save and took the loss at PNC Park, 2006
he comes in, gives up 3 hits, 2 runs and the AL won 3-2

had Kent Tekulve been available, my money would have been safe

concerning todays wager; every football game that I have ever watched, that at halftime looked like it might go over
goes under every freaking time

especially in the playoffs

[thewitchinghour]

eckersley, tom henke, quizenberry

[stevek173]

[PittsburghPlayer]

damn, the man raised a great thread and took a shot for doing so,
gave a winner
and no one bought him a beer

that`s bullshit

I would buy the first round, but since they are free
too late

[jrgum3]

I think it's Hoffman as well. I mean he closed long enough to reach 600+ saves and nobody threw a better changeup.

[vladfan]

Lee Smith was pretty good and I haven't seen him mentioned yet, but for real CY Young threw 749 complete games! Why isn't this talked about when people ask what record will never be broken again?

[cincinnatikid513]

kenley jansen

[daneblazer]

Mariano Rivera

[19th Hole]

Quis, Henke. Smith

[magaman]

No shit, Trump is still president, crypto markets are open, NFL Sunday and we're here talking baseball. I mean, baseball. Baseball, man. Fukking baseball. Nobody cares about baseball

I gotta go with Kraken here...

You guys sniffing glue again? stop that shit!!

[cincinnatikid513]

nasty boys rob dibble norm charlton randy myers

[daneblazer]

John Smoltz

[ABEHONEST]

Well hello! Did any of you young squirts not watch Bob Gibson destroy and idea he wasn't the best closer of all time?

[slayer14]

Troy Percival as one of the greats

[OldschoolGambler]

Bruce Sutter

[cincinnatikid513]

was a starter

[ABEHONEST]

You mean officially? Okay, but if you want to protect a 1 run lead for an infinite amount of time, who would you choose?
That's also called shutting them down or slammimg the door completely shut.

You need to watch the record breaking WS video on Gibson.

[ABEHONEST]

good watch

Sorry, now that is just too far back in history to be taken serious.

[ABEHONEST]

I'm more worried about how I could pull a bluff on the man in your avatar?
Great actor.

[ticklemepink1991]

mariano is the entire top 5, no one even comes close or will ever come close

then in the 6th spot I love me some rollie fingers ... why? because in over 60% of his saves he threw more than 1 inning, and yeah I respect that

[rm18]

Craig Kimbrel and it is not close.

[19th Hole]

Thanks for the Walter Johnson video. Worthwhile watch.

[Mr KLC]

There are a lot of great Mariano Rivera statistics, but here's a favorite: in 141 innings in the postseason -- the equivalent of two regular seasons -- he allowed a total of two homers.

[Mr KLC]

If Billy Wagner returned to baseball and tossed 186.1 innings with a 5.55 ERA and ZERO strikeouts, he’d have the same ERA in the same amount of IP with more strikeouts than Trevor Hoffman, who was recently inducted to the Hall of Fame.
