He now has 46 saves and needs 16 saves in the last 44 games to tie the single season record (17 to break it). Hard to argue against Red Sox as the best team right now, Astros/Yankees have gone off the boil and I don't think there's anyone in the NL who is showing the same consistency as Red Sox.

I suppose it depends on the broadcasters but these guys are pleasant to listen to. Pity the game itself is a farce though. It's a first of a double header and the Phillies gave up 10 unearned runs early on so to save their bullpen for game 2, they started using position players to pitch in the 7th.

The Phillies position players can't throw a strike to save their lives so it ended up in a complete role reversal with one bloke pitching to Mets reliever (Jerry Blevins) who has 3 at-bats in 12 years in the majors. The Mets were on the receiving end of one of these from the Nationals a few weeks back and Jose Reyes was throwing up lollypops to hit so I don't know what the solution is for blowouts, especially in double header days but this is ridiculous now.
