based on usage so far, I don't see Arano as having a better hold on the odd SV than just-returned Neshek, or maybe even ERamos. he
is good, though.
I like the idea of rack up WSmith SV for now, then dump him for the next pretty young closer-in-waiting to try to double your fun....finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

I’m thinking Smith to diversify vs Arano to lock up PHI saves.

Major meltdown by Cody Allen tonite. Wasnt even a save situation as he was handed a 4-0 lead after a beautiful game by Trevor Bauer. He let in 3 runs while he was in, left w the bases loaded and Otero let in all 3 runners and 1 of his own and Cleveland loses 7-4. Allen's line: 0.7IP, 3H, 2BB, K, HBP, 6ER, L. Indians have got to fix their bullpen problems if they want to do anything in the playoffs.

(from Bleacher Report)
The Cleveland Indians owe part of their 7-4 defeat to the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday to a miscommunication between manager Terry Francona and pitching coach Carl Willis.
According to The Athletic's Zack Meisel:
"Why Dan Otero instead of Oliver Perez in the ninth? Terry Francona told Carl Willis to call for “OP” on the bullpen phone. Willis thought he said “OT.” When Otero entered, Francona was surprised."
"Votto vs. righties this season: .332/.454/.507 slash line"
"Votto vs. lefties this season: .216/.370/.324 slash line"
The Indians allowed seven runs in the ninth inning to spoil Trevor Bauer's excellent start. Although Otero was only charged with one earned run, he allowed a three-run double to Joey Votto that gave the Reds a 6-4 lead.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

Giles performance reminds me of a great quote by Gary Gaetti of the Twins back in '84. They were somehow still in the race on the last weekend of the season, and Gaetti made an error on a throw to 1st to lose the game..."“It’s hard to throw with both hands wrapped around your throat.” Loved the rat (his nickname, because of, well, his looks), and of course, the nucleus of that club went on to win two WS titles."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."
