Today probably wasn't real good for the Neris owners in a lot of ways. Woof.

Small sample size and all that, but the Phils decided to walk Freeman (1-for-9 lifetime vs Neris) to face Markakis (7-for-14 lifetime vs Neris). Result: 3-run walkoff homer. Kapler and co may want that decision back.Originally posted by mjl View Post
Now, apparently the pivotal pitch was over the heart of the plate - that’s on Neris.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerComment

One bad pitch (the hit was a swinging bunt, hitter totally fooled), but that's the life of a closer. That being said, regardless of history, there is no way you let Freddie bat there. Period.
EDIT: Hell, they pulled Nola early because they had Freddie kryptonite in Milner who Freddie was 0-a bunch with a bunch of K's against. That ended up with 5-0 becoming 5-2.Comment

My two closer keepers going into RJEL on Sunday: Claudio and Neris. At least they're pretty cheap and not injured. An ugly start though.Originally posted by Judge Jude View PostComment

Kapler is so stupid that he made that move.
at least he was smart enough to deny it after the game, but stillfinished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

Something like that. But yeah, Kapler looked like a deer in the headlights by the end of the game. I would compare him to Snitker, but Snitker had been ordered to leave the proceedings by then.Originally posted by Judge Jude View PostComment

I'd only drop 5-10% of my budget. I agree with revo about Melancon, but I don't think Strickland will have much of a leash, either. I'm not sure why Dyson has really stunk coming out of the gate two years in a row, but if he gets straightened out like last year, I'd not be surprised if the Giants turn back to him if Strickland struggles at all.Originally posted by virgonomic View PostI'm just here for the baseball.

Guessing Strickland and holland will be in the 20s if your faab budget is the typical 100Comment

in my NL-only Holland went for 40 (I bid 37, bah) and Strickland 22 (second highest bid was 13)In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway.
