Jansen blew the save, his fourth of the season, and picked up his third loss in 2019. Both figures represent some concern but they’re small enough to look past them. Jansen’s ERA, however, rose to 3.72 after the appearance. The three earned runs from the Tuesday disaster all added officially to his ledger and his total WAR this year stayed pat at -.1.
In a lot of ways the numbers make him look abysmal and unserviceable. Jansen’s numbers look like they belong to someone else and the truth that comes with them a harsh one. One that fans and the organization hope to be nothing more than a nightmare, not a reality.
