It's just terrifying when he gets in a game. Yeah, he has a ton of saves, but with him pitching it's more like surviving than closing.

I realize that there were 2 errors in the 9th, but he also gave up 2 hits and has an ERA over 5. That's way more than Wickmans ever was. But it's true that Wickman might have actually blown more saves than Borowski, but any time he comes in he scares the bejesus out of me.

I guess I ought to be used to it by now on this site, but it's kinda surprising to me with the Indians. They are a young and exciting team, but people are acting as though it's just a team full of bums.

Eh... The guy pitched in 5 out of 6 games straight. He looked flat out gas from the first pitch he threw. I knew he was in trouble from the minute he came in. Why he was even brought into the game last night baffles me, and he still found a way to pitch out of a tough situation with only giving up a run.
Seriously watch that 9th inning again last night. The Mariners were absolutely baffled by Joe, but got some lucky hits. That "no doubles" defense that we have been playing late in games is killing us. I hate it.. There is no way that ball falls in if the OF is playing straight up. Then freaking Betancourt throws his bat at the ball and manages to get an RBI. Unbelievable stuff.
I still like Joe, but even Joe needs a game off every now and then.

I am seriously begining to hate Borowski. He's blown 2 saves this week. How can you pretend to be a serious contender when you can't even depend on your closer?
The only good thing about him is that you know you won't see him again since he only does one inning. Unfortunately, the Indians have used most of their really good relievers just getting to Borowski today.
