    IMO Swarzak is the only one who could pitch well enough to keep the job.
    If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

      I think "could" is the keyword there - he was good in 2017, and terrible in 2016 and 2018.

        Last year Shawn Armstrong got the high leverage innings that diaz didnt take. My $$ is on him once he returns, which will probably be sooner than swarzak anyway- according to reports. Sneaky good add imo

          • What's the outlook for Kyle Zimmer in KC? He's a high 1st round pick that kept getting hurt. Stuff has never been the issue when he was healthy, as he appears to be now.

            Closermonkey does not have him top 3. Is he going to be in the mix?

              • Steckenrider angry at Mets for not demoting Alonso - given that Alonso just hit a 3-run HR off him.

                  I'm curious to see how KC will use Zimmer after so little game action over the past three seasons. If they're reluctant to use him on back-to-back days after all his injuries, it'll be tough for him to be the main closer.

                  A committeeman on a bad team is probably his near-term ceiling but if his peripherals are solid, he could still be a viable mixed league option.

                      Video of the inning is pretty great. 8 of 9 were swinging strikes. Enjoy.

                        Heh, just saw this. It's like saying "Kevin Kiermaier had 4 points pushed by yesterday". And when someone says, "do you mean RBI???", you respond, "that's not what I call it".

                        I mean, you don't have to call it an immaculate inning, but that's what it is.

                            Gotcha, I guess I never considered using the wrong name for something as grammar though.

                              It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.
