Diaz is 5-20 lifetime when he doesn't get the decision and 1-10 the last two years. In his first three seasons, he converted 109 of 121 save opportunities, (90%). This year he's converted 24 of 29: 83%- not really a huge change. His problems seem to come when the save is blown or when he comes in a tie game when he'll get the decision.  He'd faced 775 batters going into his seasons and 20 of them had hit home runs (2.6%). This year he's faced 201 batters and given up 11 home runs. That's 5.5%. his walk and strike-out numbers haven't really changed at all. He's "wild in the strike zone".

Jeurys Familia hasn't been used in save situations this year so I can't make that type of comparison. In past years he's converted 124 of 150 save opportunities, 83%., the same as Diaz this year. He's actually 3-1 when he gets the decision and is 20-20 lifetime. he'd previously given up 16 home runs to 1,468 batters. 1.1%. This year he's given up 6 homers to 180 batters, 3.3%. In past years he'd walked 143 of 1,468 batters, (9.7%. This year it's 31 of 180, 17.2%. His strike-out percentage is about the same. He's "wild outside the strike zone".
