This is the same team (but different manager) that once had K-Rod throw 100 warmup pitches in the pen during an extra-inning game.

Hawkins with a 4-out 9th - and charged with a blown SV
out
then routine grounder to Rutledge for 2nd out - wait, that's a Little League high throw, runner safe
single
ok, Rollins foul pop to Tulo for 2nd out - nope, he drops it
gets Rollins for 2nd out anyway
pulled for LH Logan vs Utley, game-tying single
then 3-run HR by Howard, Phils win 6-3
don't think this one changes the closer calculus there. if anything they may leave Hawkins alone in the 9th if he's not struggling like tonight. too cute by half...finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

Josh Rutledge should get the blown save. Dope..."When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - that's all."

I have a rare chance in this very restrictive league where I've already used up 2 of my 6 'free' moves: Cain went on DL but will be back to pitch on Friday. I can take Ottavino right now, then next Thursday I can reactivate Cain if he's definitely pitching Friday - thereby waiving Ottavino or Blake Treinen without using a move (I need a 6th SP but, c'mon, I'm in 8th place. looking more to 2015).
wait, am I talking myself into taking Ottavino and keeping him? he'd be a 10-S1 next year and if he had the closer job, worth it...
UPDATE: Rockies score 4 in top of 7th to make it 6-6
Ottavino 1-2-3 bottom 7 w 2 Ks
Brothers bottom 8th, allows a hit and a walk - and a run
7-6 Indians win it, in this deep-seated rivalryLast edited by Judge Jude; 05-31-2014, 05:15 PM.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

And Ottavino gags it away today...giving up a 2 run homer to Bourn in the 9th to lose the game.
On the bright side, Cuddyer didn't kill anyone with a throw from 3rd..."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."
