( I hope his toe thing isn't serious! )<br /><br />He's also had that game against the Phillies where he gave up the lead but the Dodgers promptly won in the 10th, and four more games where he gave up at least one run but the Dodgers lead was bigger than what he gave up, including a Coors Field special where the Rockies scored three in the ninth and he had to come on to put the fire out.<br /><br />The fact that those are the only games where either the hitters had to save him from pitching in a loss, or the lead was larger than what he gave up to start with, does of course underline that he's become a dependable closer.<br /><br />Broxton is great to have. The brief Baez period was awful, I don't know how fans of teams that have them handle having a shaky closer! I've been spoiled rotten by mostly consistency in that spot during the times I've been a Dodger fan.Griffsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17649213121101944676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2913228180865398508.post-72660118215773449592009-06-23T14:49:33.259-07:002009-06-23T14:49:33.259-07:00The Dodgers are 31-1 in games Broxton has pitched ...The Dodgers are 31-1 in games Broxton has pitched in this year. The one loss was a game in which Broxton pitched two scoreless innings. ( That loss was the extra inning game against the Giants where Mota gave up three runs. )<br /><br />Even if I hated Broxton's guts I couldn't give him an unfair loss share!Joshua Worleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15426704652634741418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2913228180865398508.post-37904974820003438102009-06-23T14:26:49.635-07:002009-06-23T14:26:49.635-07:00I predict right now that Broxton will not get a si...I predict right now that Broxton will not get a single unfair loss share this year, for various reasons ;-)<br /><br />I'd like to see Broxton compared to other stud relievers in both leagues, but I'm waiting to see what I get!Griffsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17649213121101944676noreply@blogger.com
