E.R.A. 3 runs lower and WHIP a third of what it was here.

Note - Archie wasn’t used as a closer in Cincy.

Maybe he shouldn't have been used as a closer here...

Not sure Hazen and Torey had a ton of options.

Guerra closed part time for the Brewers.

We tried year after year to bring in closers to compete with Archie for the closing spot. Problem was they were bottom of the barrel signings and just as shaky as Archie (Rodney, Holland, etc)

Isn't it the GM's job to find the options? That is hardly an excuse.
