Of course I had a couple of injuries and needed some saves or holds and he was sitting out there on the wire so "stupid me" didn't listen to "brilliant me" and I blew my ratios tonight too, hah. So "stupid me" finally sees the light and agrees he should not be owned ever again on any of my teams. Of course I haven't heard from "imbecile me" yet so I still may be in trouble.

swingbatter 186 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 For those watching the Rox closer situation: Estevez came in to pitch the 8th vs the dodgers in a 3-3 game - kept it tied: 1.0 IP, 0 ER, 1 BB and had 2 Ks. Bard came in for the 9th and served up a walk off bomb to Bellinger. Link to post Share on other sites
KilloWertz 2,533 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Well, there goes one name off of the TB carousel. Unfortunately it doesn't really mean a whole lot unless you own Anderson... Link to post Share on other sites

swingbatter 186 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 In the Rays game, Diego Castillo came in for the last out in the 7th up 3-2. Hoping we will see who gets the possible save opp, even if they go committee while Anderson is out, there will be a good amount of save opps to be had with this good Rays team. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I’n guessing they’ll use Castillo as the fire man then whoever is available on the night for the 9th Link to post Share on other sites

JameisofThrones 218 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) Wasn't watching live but looks like Kimbrel got pulled in the eighth for Jefferies, who went 1 1/3 to close it out. Committee City. Edited August 23, 2020 by JameisofThrones 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
B&F 879 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Joe Jiménez who 💩 the bed in a non-save situation in the ninth. A sleeper in the Tigers bullpen is Gregory Soto who is has gained some velocity this year and is throwing 97 from the left side with a wicked slider. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

saab93boi 74 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 The one closer I decided to draft was Neris and now he's on his way out of a closer job, if not already. Is there any reason to still hold him or am i better suited on taking a chance at a potential committee guy who might win a job? Link to post Share on other sites

marble_donut 9 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) Any chance Padres would trade for a closer? Maybe a destination for Trevor Rosenthal? Never mind, didn't realize Pomeranz injury was probably just a 10 day thing. Edited August 24, 2020 by marble_donut Link to post Share on other sites
street sharks 3,238 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I'm honestly thinking about going no early closers in drafts from now on. Maybe this season is just weird idk. Left the draft with 2 (Giles, Leclerc, and Pom to an extent), ended up with 4 completely different ones (Pom, Hudson, Pressly, Montero) without making trades. I think I'm beginning to understand this "don't pay for saves" mantra 3 Link to post Share on other sites
fredo_corleone 22 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Safe to assume that Wick is no longer closing out of CHC (or is second to Jeffress)? Asking since I have to choose between him or Taylor Williams. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites

Asking since I have to choose between him or Taylor Williams. Thanks. Chicago is a committee with Wick the presumable 1a based on what has happened, though who knows what WILL happen. Jeffress was just due for work after Wick pitched yesterday (and gave up a devestating 2 run HR, though it was his first given up in like 200 batters and to Jose Abreu who is ungodly hot and Cub killer) and Ross trusts them both. I'd still pick Taylor Williams either way, though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
aapox 896 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Is there a guy to own in Colorado? Esteves? Seems like more upside than Bard while the roles are unclear. Link to post Share on other sites
