Still think as others have said Miller is the closer for now and GG main set up guy. Maybe after a few more outings and a Miller implosion things could change but in S+H he’s a good pickup. I think they’re going to mix and match these guys based on matchups. But I do think these are the 2 guys. Up I55, it seems like we may have a 3 guy committee happening soon: https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/cubs/if-cubs-craig-kimbrel-walks-closer-talks-closer-he-closer?amp Link to post Share on other sites
bradwatson 1,593 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Rage dropped Hudson for Rainey this morning in a S+H league. Felt damn good after last night's implosion. His K9 is off the charts. Also had to cut Taylor Williams after being brought in to pitch the 5th yesterday. Don't have time for that nonsense in this short season. Link to post Share on other sites

With the amount of doubleheaders that the Cardinals are going to have to play my guess is that they are going to need CMart much more as a starter than at the back end. If he is in the bullpen, more likely a bulk role to give them innings. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

They moved Kim to the rotation and CMart has to ramp back up. I thought it would make more sense to get him back as a reliever. But who knows. Link to post Share on other sites

And after he struck out Arenado with 1 out and Story on 3rd, they walked Murphy and then he hung a breaking ball and Tapia drove it into center for a single. He had a good chance to hold them without a run for a really, really good shot at winning and wasn't able to. I'm not too worried about it and he still looked good, but a bummer, for sure.

JameisofThrones 218 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) Yency Almonte throws his name into the Rockies closer mix. Couldn't hold the one-run lead in the 10th but would have been a scoreless inning without the ghost runner. Bard worked a clean ninth. (Please only read if truly desperate.

Don't have time for that nonsense in this short season. Sorry but this is a mistake. He hadn't gotten work in a while and the last time he was randomly brought in in early innings / non-save situations two days in a row he actually got the save on day 3. Yea it's a crappy situation and yea Hirano may complicate it but Taylor Williams is 100% the current SEA closer. Edited August 19, 2020 by Magoo Link to post Share on other sites
