Closer Fail

It seems that the closers this postseason are sucking pretty bad, so I got curious and looked at their numbers. Obviously, the Franklin meltdown isn't reflected very well in this table, but only Rivera really stands out this year as an outstanding shutdown closer, though Lidge, in a relatively small sample, has held it together. Interesting that it's looking like the two remaining closers who have not allowed an earned run will be headed to the WS, while the unexpected meltdown guys are gonna be packing their bags soon, or have already done so.
I also thought the 30% inherited runners scoring was a pretty ugly number.

if the main tab still looks doubtful, switch to the html tab and clear out any junk before the table starts.

It's funny how the stats don't line up with the situation.
Fuentes and Franklin clearly failed in two big situations, but their numbers don’t look particularly bad because of the situations.
