  • what did Melancon go for?
    he went for 9 in my NL-only 12-team 5x5.

    I didn't really have the units nor the need, but I couldn't even guess for a price on him (and now it looks a bit worse for him)
    finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

      I think some still think Melancon is coming back and Strickland is “unproven”. Your mileage may vary, of course. I was just suggesting that the window is closing fast. And it’s Strickland, not Dyson or someone else.

        the Brewers don't want to make Josh "Bugs Bunny" Hader their closer, and if Knebel is back by June 1, I kind of get it.

        but he crushed the first 5 Mets tonight with K K K K K - and then a fly-out - for a 2-inning domination in a 5-1 win. check out his K rate so far this season. if your mixed league is shallow enough....

          Yep, I grabbed him in my 12-team mixed at $2 and hopefully the Brewers wake up and maximize their usage of him.

            Hader is quickly starting to look like one of the top 5 most dominant RP's in MLB right now.

            His line so far is absurd: 9.2 IP, 2 H, 3 BB, 22 K.

            22 of his 29 outs via K. Insanity.

            • Another dominant save for Hand tonite. 4-out save to protect a 1-run led. Struck out all 4 batters.

                Last 4 appearances: 4 IP, 1 H, 0 BB, 7 K, perfect 4/4 saves... love to see this with Kirby Yates on the DL too, re-taking his stranglehold on the job.

                • Middleton with Sv #4 last night (and 3rd in 4 days), so it seems pretty clear he's the guy until he's not the guy.

                    And the frightening part - for hitters, at least - his slider wasn't even that good last night.

                    • Albers pitched the bottom of the 9th in a 2-2 game, which raises a little doubt about him as "the closer."
                      of course, the 2-out walkoff HR by Flores raises a little more...

                      • Victor Arano has a 0.00 ERA and 0.000 WHIP in 7.3 IP for the Phillies so far. that seems potentially useful

                        • Hader with another 2-IP SV for MIL
                          allowed a 2B with 2 outs in the 9th in a 2-0 game
                          29 pitches

                          interesting approach

                          nice win, but I assume he's out tomorrow night - when maybe another RP could have pitched a respectable 8th tonight and at least hold the lead for Hader's 9th

                          I guess the gamble is you won't be up exactly 1 run late tomorrow night - which, maybe that's likely in reality. so why not

                          • what a night

                            Jansen comes on with a 3-1 lead, allows a leadoff HR to Hosmer
                            K, fly out
                            then walks the unwalkable Franchy Cordero
                            then allows a SB while up 3-2
                            then a balk
                            then Headley - 1 for 26 with 13 K this year - doubles to tie it and sorry, Alex Wood no W for you

                            • In the STL/CHC game, Holland came in to start the 8th with a 5-1 lead. Walk Schwarber, HR Baez, walk Russell, and he got pulled. Lyons got one out and then Norris got the last five with a single and three strikeouts.
                              In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.
