    I hope now everyone understands why I hate Broxton with a passion
    Body the size of a moose, brain the size of a flea.

    Facing a hitter who hasn't played in the majors since 2004 and most likely never faced a 100mph fastball..... but rather than challenging him, he walks him on 4 pitches. None of the pitches within 2 feet of the strike zone.

    He is by far the worst closer in baseball, even worse than Gagme. He has blown over 50% of save opps. Not guts whatsoever.... well except a beer gut.

      Dagger you should have followed my stone cold lock. I take into account all aspects of the game and Broxton was my deciding factor to take the Phils.

        Kobe: Have you noticed he always blows it in the bigger games? On a chilly Tuesday evening in San Francisco when its meaningless he's lights out.

            "gagme" not a closer..... plus he got the statistical righty righty match-up with Feliz.

                So based on this bit of information, you probably bet against LAD every night then?

                  Found this little gem on a Broxton sucks forum

                  I just got home from a Dodger game in which Broxton was the losing pitcher AGAIN. As soon as they put him in in the ninth with the score tied 3-3, I knew we were going to lose. He hit Matt Holliday and guess what? He scored the winning run. That fat ass is the worst reliever we have. I don't hate too many people but he's one of them. I literally HATE him. I hope he comes onto this site, reads what Dodger fans have to say about him, and kills himself. I watched him blow too many games. He is 300 lbs of uselessness. The Dodgers should trade him to whoever will take him.

                      Not that bad??

                      He's blown 7 saves and lost 5 games this season.

                      In his career, he has blown 18 saves in 33 chances.

                        Seems to be a better setup man than a closer last year and a half.

                          Er, he's got a 3.82 dERA. He's pretty damn good.

                            Add pressure and he crumples like a soda can.
