BMcP 7,620 Posted June 13, 2019 May gives up a run in the 8th and looks like Parker is now coming in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KilloWertz 2,460 Posted June 13, 2019 He pitched on Sunday, so you wouldn't think so, but tonight was only his 3rd appearance so far this month. Still, figures he comes in and takes a giant dump on the mound. Just what I needed... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KilloWertz 2,460 Posted June 13, 2019 Biagini couldn't even finish the inning. I've seen enough already... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tommy Lee Jones 498 Posted June 13, 2019 Great, there goes Josh Bell homering off Luke Jackson. Maybe I do need to monitor Minter. What a sad world we’re living in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Makes me want to just find a different pitching cat for my league next year...and not holds nor s/h.

Flyman75 3,767 Posted June 13, 2019 Will Boston give Hembree a chance to close games out? Or are they biding their time with the guys they have until they trade for a closer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tommy Lee Jones 498 Posted June 13, 2019 Not sure as of yet if Barnes has the testicular fortitude to close out games. Or maybe it’s just a matter of being lobotomized like Jack Nicholson at the end of One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest. How much do we really know about guys like Mariano Rivera and Dennis Eckersley? We already have some idea about Aroldis Chapman with him shooting up his garage. Less brain activity is optimal. Just how dumb is Barnes? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mlb2019 170 Posted June 13, 2019 closers should just do what position players do when they are called to pitched. just toss the ball. I mean what are their ERAs like. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonninho 174 Posted June 13, 2019 How are people feeling about Minter being given another shot to close with the Braves? I would imagine they would prefer to keep their options internal and not give up assets for a closer (altho who knows).. Minter was decent (not spectacular) in his recent demotion and has since pitched twice since being recalled. Very tough to read many closer situations at the moment.. ATL is no different.. what do people think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonninho 174 Posted June 13, 2019 Also, getting away from Minter... Is Leclerc officially done as closer in Texas? meaning he wont be given the chance again this year based off what people are reading. Woodward keeps saying he intends to go back to him.. but as the days tick away.. its becoming less and less likely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ATL is no different.. what do people think? If Minter could actually pitch good I think he could overtake Jackson. From a redraft perspective I'm not really convinced this guy can pitch good. To me it seemed like a foregone conclusion that as long as ATL is in contention they will likely hunt for relief help. My money is on their second half closer being on a different team/free agency.

nlm 450 Posted June 13, 2019 I really don't know what to make about the Toronto situation. They announced Biagini would close in Giles' absence, but tonight's usage would indicate otherwise. I don't know if either are worth the trouble if Giles is really only going to miss 10 days. Elias might get another shot to close after Bass blew it tonight. Also re: ATL... Swarzak has pitched really good since coming to ATL. 10.2 IP w/ an .84 WHIP and .84 ERA, 14 K/5 BB He might be ahead of Minter, but who knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And Hembree can be really really bad at times through the years. If he is on a good streak now he will soon get on one of his bad ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Biagini came on with 2 on and 1 out in the 8th..the hope was that he could shut the door and close out the 8th and 9th. But he struggled. So they turned to a LHP and then Hudson was their only decent arm left. Bagini was mentioned as the new "closer". I expect he will get at least a few more chances until Giles comes back.
