Is he glitched????? I have blown 5 straight saves with him! Is it because every pitch he has is a fastball and they know what's coming???!!!!! Nothing seems to work. He's given up 4 homeruns, 2 of them walk off style. I can't trade him because I'm a Yankee fan and I can't bare to do it, but what do I do with him..?

Re: Mariano Rivera????
What do you do? You bench him and have him take on a different role in the bullpen if he's blown that many saves.
I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.
I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

For me, Mo has saved 16 games but has blown 3 (2 to the O's and 1 to the Red Sox). Im pretty happy with that

Re: Mariano Rivera????
I had one outing in Toronto where I was up 5-3 and brought Mo in...after getting the 6th and 7th batters out, Mo decided to give up solo shots to the 8th and 9th batters and two doubles later I lost the game....
I have a difficult time pitching with Mo, but I think it's just me not locating the pitches well enoughComment

Re: Mariano Rivera????
LOL, someone actually asked if a player was glitched because he sucked with him.
This place has taken a real nose dive.Comment

Re: Mariano Rivera????
J. Broxton for me has been a "BEAST" In 3 save opportunities he has closed out every one. Not given up a single run. I honestly feel when using him that he just overpowers whoever is at the plate.The poster formerly know as "FLIGHTWHITE"Comment

Re: Mariano Rivera????
I've got him in my draft franchise, and he can be streaky. He'll blow a few in a row, but I've been fine for the most part. ERA a little under 3, 5-1 with 38 saves I think. Those 6 decisions were all blown saves though, but he's been streaky for me for sure.Comment

Re: Mariano Rivera????
Also, you dont have to try to strike everyone out.
I have dang Kelvim Escobar in the set up role pitching to a 2.9ish ERA.
Relievers are going to get touched every now and then, but if you try to saw off the hitters, not let them extend, and be willing to throw set up pitches out of the zone, you'll do just fine with Mo.Comment

Re: Mariano Rivera????
The dude is 41! He's running out of gas. He's not a Trevor Hoffman or Jamie Moyer type pitcher who depend on the offspeed stuff. Trade him while he's got value. The sky is falling!Oakland Athletics San Jose Sharks

Re: Mariano Rivera????
I have the same issue, this actually happened the last 3 times I used the Yanks in an online game.. I thought he was hexed in this game and I still believe there is something to this..But I pitch the same way with him as I've done for the past few years and I've never had this problem until this year.
I chalked it up to a mental thing.. After you blow 2 in a row, you expect to blow a third. I just had to forget about it and move on. Since then, 3 for 3.Comment
