was surprised after that, Neshek pitched the 8th at 5-2 - and allowed a run. but PHI got 2 more, and ERamos got the 9th but no SV opp.
I have had multiple RP on PHI with no bench for Kapler's entire tenure, but even for him this was really weird.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

But challenging it is, in the sense that trying to roll snake eyes is kind of challenging, I guess. Maybe I'm just grumpy about Alvarado. Oh, did I mention I also have Wily Peralta?

Yes sure Wins, RBIs, AVG are all old-fashioned and not perfect reflectors of player performance, but they maintain a decently strong correlation to it I think. To me, it's frustrating having to pick "bad" pitchers based on an increasingly unpredictable idea that they might get put in for the 9th inning of a close game.

full disclosure - my two closers coming into this year: Alvarado and Leclerc.It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

For a pitcher that was suppose to be washed up now has 8 saves - Holland. He was lucky last night. Bases loaded no outs and was able to escape by striking out Desmond and Iannetta on pitches 87 mph. In 12 IP he has 7 BB and 17. 3 Hits and no HR also resulting in an ERA 0.75 and WHIP 0.83. No doubt he won't keep this up but nice returns for those owners who likely got him for cheap.

Couple little stumbles for Yates. Nothing to see here, I don't think....12-team mixed keeper. 6x6 (OBP, QS the extra categories).
