Lip Man 1 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 And Nate Jones breathes a sigh of relief. The guy has seven blown save chances already according to the official box score. And some were advocating that he become the closer. Right now he's not even a reliable set up guy. And that bunt move by Robin in the 9th was classic wasn't it?

You do know that all 7 of those blown saves came in the 7th or 8th inning, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 Saves as an evaluation of a set up man? Come on dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) In fact, Nate Jones is 3-19 in his career for save opportunities. Sucks to be a set-up man, as allowing a game-tying run in the 7th or 8th when your team was leading, or giving up the lead, = blown save.

Using blown saves to talk about anyone other than actual closer is one of the worst uses of stats in all of baseball. This is way worse than using wins for a starting pitcher.
