But he was perfect in save situations last year.

I'm tired of Valverde and Leyland's ridiculous amount of loyalty to players that obviously aren't performing.

Why do you leave Valverde in... Go get Dotel. For goodness sakes Jimmy, he is struggling and you leave him in after giving up a two run home run... After this year get rid of both Valverde and Leland. Go get Manny Acta... He did more with less.

Valverde should have his ass stapled to the bench for the rest of the series.  Blew this game, a great performance from Fister, and possibly a chance at winning this series.  He's been a horrible closer for most of the year, and two massively blown games this postseason should be signs that Leyland needs to find someone else.

And guess what.  Tomorrow he'll put him back in there again cause he's "his guy".

Must've just KILLED Leyland to actually put a pitcher in the game who can get somebody out.  Afterall....Dotel isn't "his guy" so he's not allowed to make the last out.

Wow.  Dotel's hook is moving probably 16 inches more than Valverde's splitter.  He was warm in the bullpen, and Leyland left him in the tank.  I feel sick.
