Congratulations Jonathan Papelbon save #300 tonight

Jonathan Papelbon finally found himself back in a save situation, working a scoreless ninth inning for his 14th save -- the 300th of his career -- in Tuesday's win over the Padres. Papelbon, the 26th reliever to reach 300 career saves, last found himself in a save situation on May 24. Due to circumstances that can mostly be blamed on the team's poor performance lately, he had pitched in tie games or mop-up duty just for the work. Papelbon now has a 1.48 ERA on the season with 14 saves in 15 chances and a 20/9 K/BB ratio in 24 1/3 innings. Despite diminished velocity, Papelbon has been quite reliable for the Phillies.

he's having a good season considering how they're playing. Congrats to Paps. Great accomplishment.

Most pitchers that play for a fairly long time are going to lose velocity and they have to kind of re-invent themselves to stick around. It looks like Papelbon has done that.

I wish he didn't have such a bad contract so that he could get traded to someone where he could get some more save opportunities. He probably needs to get to 450-500 saves to be considered for the HOF.

Great accomplishment. Always nice to see Bulldogs excel.

Phillies need to eat some of that contract and send him somewhere. Anywhere.

Mets need a closer and they're bad with money... Send him!
