Re: JJ Putz
And you're correct, closers come and go every year, which is probably why no one is making HoF claims for Putz. We're simply enjoying his great season.Member of The OS Baseball Rocket Scientists AssociationComment

Re: JJ Putz
I was at the next game that JJ closed against the A's and he looked like he was still ticked about it. Came in with two outs in the eight and struck out four A's hitters, with none of them coming close to touching him. Pitched again last night against the Angels in a save situation. Three up and three down and blew the high cheese past Vlady Guerrero.
Since blowing the save against Texas, JJ has faced eleven batters, struck out six of them, hasn't given up a hit, and has notched two more saves.Comment

Re: JJ Putz
He's pitched four of the last five days. They're overusing him. I thought they were nuts when they brought him in with a four run lead against the A's. They don't trust anyone else to pitch the ninth unless the M's have a 5+ run lead. That has to change.Comment

Re: JJ Putz
I understand he's overused, but he was having difficulty at the beginning of that stretch of games as well. For some reason he seems to be going away from the splitter lately.Member of The OS Baseball Rocket Scientists AssociationComment
