I havent paid attention to Saves as a stat for a decade or more. who cares about saves lol, there a 10 other stats that are more important
But Hoffman never had as close to a dominant run that Varland has. So yes, Id give him a shot to try and close out a WS
but he may not be able to either, because the best closer in the history of the league could only do it 80% of the timeno you changed your argument to the team not making it back to the WS. which is what I responded to. thats your lame game.
Even Mariano Rivera blew a game 7 , 2-1 lead to lose the world series.No, you’re either an illiterate retard or a disingenuous sack of shit.
My question was: Do the Jays have an elite closer that they can rely on to win Game 7 of the World Series with a 1 run lead in the 9th inning vs the 9th batter yet?
Your answer is Varland (maybe) because he has 11 saves through June. Hoffman looked like that in June last year too. But he crumbled when it mattered most. So you ain’t got shit to stand on because to be able to rely on a closer is to know he’s a lock. I like Varland, I think he’s doing great so far but that doesn’t mean he’s proven he can go into that situation and get that job done. Closing games in the regular season and closing Game 7 of the World Series are two very different things. Ideally, you’d still want Varland as the set-up guy and a proven elite closer. But the Jays probably won’t be back in that position because they did fuck all to properly retain and add to what they already had going for them.
What purpose does bringing up Mariano Rivera into the discussion serve? To prove my point that if you have an elite closer you’d win 4 out of 5 World Series clinching opportunities? He closed four World Series clinching games but you’ll talk about the one he blew so it makes Hoffman not look so bad? Well, Hoffman is 0-1. Let me know when he wins four. Keep dying on that hill retard.
A literate person would understand Game 7 in the World Series but you missed that part.
Varland has proven he can close some regular season games for a stretch. Hasn’t proven what was set as the goal.
Nice try though, keep practicing your hooked on phonics, maybe you’ll understand one day.

Too bad the rest of the team won’t be able to make it back to where it would matter.

No?
Fantastic.

It’s amazing watching Jacob Misiorowski throw. And that’s what he does, he throws. All gas.
He obviously wants to be a fireball starter because that’s where the big money will be for his career but one has to wonder how many times he can throw 100+ mph pitches before something snaps. He’s a big boy and I’m sure they’re attentive to his mechanics but if he wanted to be a closer, he could pitch 20 years and probably break every closer record ever recorded with a fraction of the strain on his arm.
