worried about wags?

He blew another save today. An fluky infield hit, a line drive single and a deep fly ball cost Billy Wagner against Houston, though the Atlanta closer got the win (his sixth!) when the Braves scored six in the 10th. That’s seven blown saves for the year, two (plus a loss) in seven appearances this month. Should Braves fans be worried about the former Jackson General? No. Not yet. He’s allowed only four hits and two runs in seven innings in August. He’s nailed down four saves (28 for the year). Saw him against San Francisco at Turner Field on Saturday when the flame-throwing lefty was as scary good as ever, fanning the side on 11 pitches. It’s still in him. His season ERA is 1.78, well below his career average of 2.35. Sure, he’s had some problems, but some of those might have been alleviated had the Braves scored a few more runs. That remains this club’s biggest issue. They’ve got to score more, put some games away. That’s the mark of a championship club, not winning by 2-1 or 3-2 scores.
