Guess I'll be the apologist here.
37-for-41 in save chances last year. Perfect in save opportunities in August/September.
Four consecutive lights-out innings in a row. Only one baserunner in all four outings combined.
Breathe, people. Breathe. Frieri ain't pretty, but have you looked around the league lately? Nearly every closer seems to be injured, suspect, or ejected from the role already.
Closers throw mistake pitches. Shit happens. We're 6-7 not 6-14. Pujols is mashing, Santiago's start portends great things to come... the weak link in our rotation is Weave!
Color me more optimistic than most. Tonight smarted but it's one game. 149 to go.
