Is anyone starting to get a little nervous that over his last 4 appearances that he has been getting hit hard and starting to give up runs. I know it always happens to a closer to have a few bad outings...but it just seams like to me that hitters are catching on to his style. Maybe and hopefully it is just the AL hitters who seem to get the best of him I mean he did struggle terribly his last 3 months in the AL when he was with the rangers.

It does seem odd that it was American League teams that have hammered him.

I'm not too worried but the fact that it's happened 3 games in a row is a little bit of a concern.

I would think coming back to the NL in a little bit (plus the last two saves in two days) would give him back what little confidence he lost. he was having the best season ever for a closer or so, and doesn't seem to have the same confidence problems that tbow has/had

He wasn't really hit hard yesterday though. Infante hit a blooper for a single, Counsell misplayed a groundball that would've been an out, Ordonez hit him hard but he's been hitting everybody hard all year, then he got the groundout and two strike outs.
