Postgame: Nacho Continues to Save Season As Marlins Complete Sweep of Phillies, Win 5-2

[Valid]

Four straight.

[HUGG]

Heath Bell has converted 14 straight save opportunities. 13.1ip 7ha 0er 2bb 14k in those 14 appearances.


I was gonna put "but, ya know, Robb Nen" but I was afraid Festa might get mad at me for doing a thing.

[Beef]

I liked when mk7 answered his own question by telling himself/us that he would indeed probably prefer Nen.

Anyway, not bad. We're only paying him $9M. ;-)

[jOOj]

I like when we do well.

[Fritz]

Wins are satisfying.

[Party]

Season about to be back on.

You already did a thing.

Deceiving #'s.

Ok.

He has a 3.56 ERA overall in his last 20 appearances, going 14 for 14 in save opportunities, with 19 strikeouts and five walks over 17 2/3 innings.

3.73 ERA with 22 strikeouts and seven walks in 21 2/3 innings since his last blown save.

We can probably stop doing the "Heat Bell is the worst ever" thing.
--------------------
Plus, like a .350 BABIP over the last 20 appearances.

[Valid]

Even after that horrendous stretch, we are only four games out of that second WC spot in the loss column. Cool.

Saying he's 14-for-14 in save opportunities is absolutely irrelevant considering how deceiving that is.
I'm pretty sure that stretch includes a couple of times he was pulled during the middle of the opportunity against the Giants, when Cishek and Choate bailed him out.

The stat also doesn't include blowing a 4-run lead the other night.

He's pitching better, but I hate the 14-for-14 thing. He really should have about 7 or 8 blown saves by now.

I'm not sure why you responded to me, though, because I didn't really say anything about blown or not blown saves.

[jOOj]

How so?

I'm guessing someone who studies a lot of sabrmagic will go to the "he's a fat fuck" argument.

[HUGG]

We've lost 1 game because of Heath Bell in the last 2 months.

There's nothing deceiving about that.
