Jim Johnson Today, 2013

Then they should be playing match-up's instead of praying for saves and/or rain.

Yep, and that Koji looks like a bad signing, huh? And at a couple million less than Johnson where are all the people that said he couldn't pitch three to four times a week?

Maybe Johnson develops a mystery injury and we get games closed by committee.

[Il BuonO]

And Norfolk Orioles said 10 BS in the GT. He's actually blown 8 games and lost 2 others when the game was tied.

So, there's that.

Jim Johnson 2012 BABIP .251

Jim Johnson 2013 BABIP .311 That's why we are seeing all these blown saves.

All I want to say is that Jim Johnson sucks. He has always been overrated in my mind. He's the reason we are not going to make the playoffs this year.

Let Francisco Rodriguez close. No more Jim Johnson.

Does BABIP go up as pitchers fall behind hitters?

He was much luckier last year, then he is unlucky this year. He had no chance to reproduce those numbers.

The BABIP Gods always come calling!

Doesn't that make you a stat weenie?

Assuming he is going to get 8$M+ next year. No way Os need to be tying up that much cash to one reliever.

(wonder what we could trade him for this offseason. lots of teams out there love that save stat)

It goes up when sinkers stop sinking.

And that's why pitchers who don't miss many bats are normally not closers.

I thought Buck believed in the "win rule?"

Thank God I don't stay up and watch. I would punch myself in the face.
