Jet/BosoxFan Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Papelbon has been automatic for like 2 years plus...he is the most dominant closer in the game and I dont want to hear about JJ Putz. Flash in the pan, just like Lidge was! Papelbon has the gas, the fearlessness and the intimidating presence, he is everything a closer should be! Mariano, best closer ever, but as I have said...RIGHT FREAKIN' NOW Paps is the man and we all know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackout Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Jonathan Papelbon is the best, most dominant closer in baseball RIGHT NOW and that includes Gagne and Mariano. Without throwing in the "Save" stat... Paps: 2.15 ERA, 37.7 IP, 54 K, 0.903 WHIP not bad however... JJ Putz: 0.89 ERA, 50.3 IP, 56 K, 0.576 WHIP Joe Nathan: 1.88 ERA, 48 IP, 49 K, 1.083 WHIP Billy Wagner: 1.39 ERA, 45.3 IP, 56 K, 0.838 WHIP Trevor Hoffman: 1.75 ERA, 36 IP, 24 K, 0.750 WHIP You gonna tell me Paps is better than ALL of these guys?

Barton Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Season on the line, 9th inning, who do you want in the game? Mariano Rivera or Papelbon? Exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet/BosoxFan Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Season on the line, 9th inning, who do you want in the game? Mariano Rivera or Papelbon? Exactly. I'll take either one of them... but with Papsmear, the season would never be on the line because his team would benefit greatly from playing 8 inning games all year...you know, like the Yankees USED TO. PS, I love the chest-thumping after a meaningless Yankee win in the meaningless Yankee season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet/BosoxFan Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 You'd take Rivera and we both know it. EB, no I wouldnt. Nary another objective poster would pass on Papelbon over any of those other pitchers. Im not even being a homer here...if I needed a 2-out single with the game on the line, Jetes is my guy. If I need a homerun in the bottom of the 3rd in August, Slappy is my guy...but Papelbon blows the doors off of great hitters. I've seen mariano put about 1 or 2 guys on base before recording the save too many times...Papelbon is flat out more dominant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariano has 34 postseason saves, Paps won't finish his career with half that, maybe not even a third of that. Ya see, anyone else would be frustrated with you rubes at this point. Not I however. I knew nobody in this Forum would be able to have a level-headed discussion about who is the more dominant closer than Jonathan Papelbon except maybe Bugg, who seems to be level-headed most of the time. Inevitably, you passionate, yet deranged people were gonna revert back to "Mariano is the greatest closer of all time!!!!!" card. I would never argue that. I didnt argue that back in the Brandon Lyon days and Im not trying to argue that now. Simply, I am saying JP is the most dominant closer CURRENTLY in the game. He is filthy, he is scary, he is intense, and he is fearless...the epitome of a closer. No cheesy outdated heavy metal music needed. Putz = having a good year, he is no JP. Mariano has had an unparalled career...I'd rather face him than JP RIGHT NOW, in the year 2007! Not in 1995, not in 2001, not even in 2004...but right freakin' now. But like I said, I could see this whole thing coming. I knew y'all were incapable of this discussion...but I can do this as long as you can. In fact, Im gonna update my "Exit Sandman, enter Jonathan Papelbon thread." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet/BosoxFan Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Right now eh? Papelbon blew his last save and Mo did not. Next! You've got to be kidding me. Did Mo reach double digits in saves yet because if not, we dont have a big enough sample to pull from. I mean EB seriously, if you wanna get retarded, 2 can play at that game: OH YEAH, WELL PAPELBON MADE THE ALL STAR TEAM AND RIVERA DIDNT, SO THERE.

Barton Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 The only thing cheesy is Papelbon practicing his marshmellow man face in the mirror while trying to emulate Mariano Rivera. Now, THAT is cheesy. He looks like he's sucked on a lemon with that wannabe intimidating stare he trys to front. No matter, only a matter of time till the docs will be proven right about papelbons shoulder in the closer role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
