2K20: Closer and Bullpen

[Judge Jude]

closermonkey took a wild-ass guess on PHI and won!

I had thought til recently they were more of an aggregator, mining actual beat guy social media and team interviews for clues (or do they? I never notice cites here). lots of value to such a site.

now it seems more like this monkey just throws its feces at a dart board and there you have it.

Add newly acquired Mychal Givens to the Rockies closer committee.

Mets' pen blows a 5-run lead in the 9th, with EDiaz entering with WP for a run and then a 2-out, 2-strike, 2-run HR by Aaron Hicks.

gee, could they use a bullpen arm?

Good thing they didn’t steal a base or swing at a 3-0 pitch when up by so much in the late innings. Better to lose than violate an unwritten rule.

I get it in my email every morning during the season and I don't subscribe. I do flip a 20 in their tip jar at the end of the year for all of the work that they do. They're pretty well on top of the situation for all clubs, and I'm sure not...very helpful.

Just go to closermonkey.com and it should give you a link to get a daily email.

Workman really IS a closer - he entered in an 8-4 game tonight and so of course he didn't pitch well because that's what closers do after all. Phillies still win 8-6.

Workman has now allowed 4 ER, 11 H, and 4 BB in 5.3 innings for the Phillies so far.

what could go wrong?

Looks like Joe Jiminez may lose his gig as his ERA climbs to over a dozen.

Gregory Soto has now gotten the last two saves for the Tigers.

Who would you rather have, Gregory Soto or Diego Castillo?

I grabbed Soto as he seems less likely to be jerked around.
