    it's time to start worrying about osuna... he's thrown very few clean innings and routinely puts people on base and gets hard contact, literally the last things you want from your closer.

    Close by committee come playoff time like 2017. Currently Osuna is close to Giles status.

    Ehh, a Crawford Box pop up on a pretty good pitch. More annoyed at the walk

    Osuna is instant drama. Wow, he is scary. What happened to Rondon?

    Osuna has blown 5 saves and while that isn’t terrible, it’s not that good.

    Hes made us nervous in quite a few others.

    Seriously. 90 mph exit velocity... that’s a definitive Crawford Box special.

    We didn't have a lights-out closer when we won the WS, unless you count Charlie "Lights Out" Morton.

    Yep, both teams get to hit em there so it’s hard to complain when 340’ goes out on us

    He has a WHIP of .89

    He hadn’t given up a run in nearly two weeks.

    He isn’t Mariano Rivera but hasn’t been a gas can either.

    FWIW he didn’t seem as focused to me.

    This is spot on, Hinch has already proved it and continues to say as much.

    In 2017 he had friggin Dallas and Justin warming up when Charlie is trying to close out game 7 on short rest. All hands on deck.

    Damn 4 run lead, anything more then a run (or two) and he seems to be somewhat lackadaisical

    Nobody in contention in the AL or the Dodgers has a closer head and shoulders above Osuna when it comes to saves/blown saves.

    Osuna 5 blown saves in 36 attempts
    Aroldis Chapman- 5 blown saves in 41 attempts
    Emilio Pagan (Rays closer)- 8 blown saves in only 22 attempts
    Taylor Rogers- (Twins closer)- 6 blown saves in only 27 attempts
    Liam Hendricks (A's closer) 4 blown saves in only 20 attempts
    Brad Hand (Indians closer) 5 blowns saves in 37 attempts

    Kenley Jansen on the Dodgers has 6 blown saves in 33 attempts

    LOL. As predictable as it gets. Who do you all consider the elite closers in baseball?

    Osuna is now sporting a 3+ ERA. Do better and don't suck again like last playoffs.

    Brantley's streak ends at 19. Still had professional ABs though.

    Stros have legit shot at best record, league and franchise. Also looking to become <5th team in MLB history with 3 consecutive 100-win seasons.

    Be healthy enough when it really matters.
