I don't care what anyone says, 100 saves in two years is impressive

[Frobby]

I know JJ blew more saves than we would have liked this year, but 100 saves in two years is quite a feat. And 8 for 8 versus Boston this year!

I do agree. It's just a closer with a trick pitch is something that you have to live with I guess. Very Impressive.

It seems that Johnson has adjusted to the league adjusting to him. He's mixing his pitches and using his plus curveball more. They can't just wait for him to bring his sinker up into the strike zone now.

Only 1 loss in his last 16 appearances with 10 saves.

[mark_beckens]

2013 49 saves -58 chances 85%

2012 51 saves - 54 chances 94%

Total 100 saves - 112 chances 89%

By the way, the Orioles seem to present an ungodly number of save opportunities. It's amazing to think they've only won 35 games that JJ didn't save (and JJ won 3 of those). Last year they won 42 games that JJ didn't save. So, the next time someone says JJ is the whole reason we didn't make the playoffs, think about the 7 extra games we won last year where no closer was needed.

Something for JJ to shoot for next year, 150 saves in 3 consecutive seasons.

Credit to JJ for being very durable.

Agree. Sure, those blown saves were painful to watch, but 100 saves in 2 years is awesome and any talk of finding another closer should stop, just like the thought of making him a starting pitcher..... there are at least 25 teams who would love to have JJ as their closer. Great 2 years JJ.

Go ahead and start naming teams that would want JJ next year with his associated payroll number.

NY Yankees. New York Mets. Boston Red Sox. Texas Rangers LA Dodgers. Toronto Blue Jays. ST Louis Cardinals. Washington Expos. Atlanta Braves. Detroit Tigers. Chicago Cubs.

NY Yankees. New York Mets. Boston Red Sox. Texas Rangers LA Dodgers. Toronto Blue Jays. ST Louis Cardinals. Washington Expos. Atlanta Braves. Detroit Tigers. Chicago Cubs.

At least half of these teams are highly doubtful.
