  • 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...

        That wouldn't be a blown save for Hawkins. He would get a hold. The blown save goes to Logan.

          Agreed. The boxscore looks worse than it was. Certainly not a great outing by Hawkins, but most of that damage was not his fault. Still, tonight didn't exactly help solidify his hold on the closer job, fairly or not.

            Since the winning run was his, I think he gets a hold and the loss. He might not get the hold because he gets the loss, however, I am not sure. Logan definitely gets the blown save.

            • Hawkins gets a loss, a hold, and NOT a blown SV, as you guys note...

              • Josh Rutledge should get the blown save. Dope...

                    They don't have anyone better?

                    • Nathan was pretty rough the last 2 nights, not that he's going anywhere. And in other news, Jim Johnson still sucks and is annoyed when A's fans boo him.

                          Has anyone told him that the cure for booing is to not suck?

                          • 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 rivalry

                            • 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...
