Reds trail 10-1 in the 5th today when my new "closer" Hembree - as of two hours earlier - is handed a bucket and a mop and sent to the mound.
a sullen Hembree allows 4 runs - proving he has that "true closer mentality" of only thriving in a save situation, I guess.

Aroldis Chapman blows his first save in 12 opportunities by giving up his first run on an Andrew Vaughn homer. The Yankees got him the win instead.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

BREAKING: DBacks led 4-2 in the 8th, so here comes..... Closer Crichton?
he threw one pitch on Saturday - a game-losing HR.
rests for 3 days, and there he is.
allows a leadoff double, gets 2 outs, but the DBacks go to a lefty - who makes his MGR look like a buffoon by allowing a game-tying 2-run HR to a PH and then a go-ahead HR to an AAAA guy.
bottom line: Soria has thrown 4.3 scoreless in 5 appearances in the last 2 weeks, after showing some rust when he returned after a month on the IL.
pretty clear he was the show pony for tonight's SV until the AZ bullpen screwed the pooch.
is Crichton extinct as closer?finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

I think it's silly that the public didn't figure out immediately, before the season started, that Yimi Garcia would be the closer for the Marlins. a simple research of his numbers showed he was a good RP pitcher. how the fucking Dodgers let him go i'll never know, especially when they were having problems finding reliable RP during his tenure.

mlb.com:
Daniel Bard is still the Rockies’ closer, but manager Bud Black allowed that there is room for Carlos Estévez to receive ninth-inning opportunities.
Estévez has helped his prospects for further opportunities in two outings since his return from a right middle finger injury -- especially Monday night, when he fanned two and left the tying run at second base in the Rockies' 3-2 victory over the Mets.
Black said Bard, 5-for-8 on save chances, is still the closer when “rested and ready to go.” But Black has confidence in Estévez, who has yielded one unearned run, limited opponents to a .148 batting average and on-base percentage, and has nine strikeouts and no walks in his past seven games (eight innings).
“We feel as though with his frequency of how his arm is, how he’s been pitching, that’s probably the way we’ll go – with Daniel as the ninth-inning guy, for now,” Black said. “But that’s one of the reasons why I shot Carlos in there last night. He’s capable of pitching the ninth inning, as well. Hopefully, his recent performance continues.
“He’s had just a couple of outings since coming back from a pulley finger [tendon injury] but I really like the way he was throwing prior to that. Potentially he could be the guy. I don’t think we’re going to juggle them, per se. In a perfect world if they’re both rested and ready to go, Daniel as of now would be the preferred choice to pitch the ninth inning.”finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5
