Roller Coaster Rodney is now the Mariner's single season record holder for saves...

Luckliy Scioscia didnt chose to put up Pujols or Trout there in the 9th. What a roller coaster this series has been

that is amazing to me. I've watched almost every game this year and I cringe every time he comes into the game. When Sasaki came in I was confident... congrats to Rodney.

Fortunate to come away with the split because the angels weren't even trying.

I swear they better not play like shit in Houston. Still ticked off about that A's series, which happened to get swept by freaking Texas!

I just went to both players' baseball-reference pages and compared various stats from Sasaki's 2001 and Rodney's 2014 season and it might surprise you to know that a lot of Rodney's numbers from this year are better than Kaz's numbers from 2001. For example, Rodney's 2014 ERA is roughly half a run lower than Sasaki's 2001 ERA was. Looking at just the basic stats, the biggest advantage that Sasaki's 2001 season had over Rodney's 2014 season is in walks. Kaz walked just 11 hitters in 2001, whereas Rodney has already walked 28 hitters with 10 games to go. It's the walks that make it hard to believe that Rodney now has the saves record.

Must seem different because of the circumstances. Kaz could blow a save and it was no big deal in 01.

I was thinking the same thing. The 01 team went through the season in a breeze without worry about a playoff spot. This year's team however is under a lot of pressure and a blown save can make a difference.

Yeah, I just looked and was really surprised he had 0 wins in 01. After reading your post I was gonna say with that team, if he blew a save the offense just came back in the bottom of the 9th and won it for him....

Yep. That too.
