He also was on tap to be the closer had the A’s gotten a lead in another game.

Bailey and Wuertz on the DL for the A’s, Hamilton for the Rangers, Morales for the Angels. As important as who’s coming back, presumed healthy, is who’s next on the DL.

He has 17% of the team’s save chances this season, thus he’s had a split of the save chances so far.

Okay.

The “part” where he got a save chance and blew that save chance in one of his five appearances.

Balfour – 5 appearances, zero saves.

Exactly what part of the closing duties “split” does Balfour do?
