2017 Closer Thread: Bad Day To Be A Blake (2 Viewers)

[Northern Voice]

I still think Givens is the best guy in Baltimore. 

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Its probably time to invest in one Keynan Middleton

I got a share. Still seems like Bedrosian will eventually be the guy but that situation is gross. Parker looks like ? 

 

[DA RAIDERS]

Jim Johnson?  I bought a share, we'll see.

Proven closer

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Kenley Jansen, "ouch"

 

[Epic Problem]

Kenley Jansen, "ouch"

Doyers have given up 8 runs this season. Jansen’s given up 1/2 of them.

 

[Eephus]

Greg Holland should ask the Cardinals for another couple million

 

[eoMMan]

Doyers have given up 8 runs this season. Jansen’s given up 1/2 of them.

If Jansen loses the closer role (whether it's injury or ineffectiveness), who is the next guy to fill in? Alexander?

I picked up Josh Fields. 

 

[PIK95]

I picked up Josh Fields. 

I was looking at his profile when you did.  I wasn't about to drop a prospect for him though.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

AJ Hinch hates Ken Giles I guess

Peacock was cruising

 

[guru_007]

Its the first week still.

Regards, Giles and Jansen many shares owner

 

[Epic Problem]

Nate Jones just threw 1.3 clean. He K'd Grichuk to finish the 8th, but the everything else was squared up and smoked.

 

[Epic Problem]

Knebel just pulled a hammy throwing a pitch. Didn't look good.

I just ran and grabbed Jeffress. 

 

[Epic Problem]

Went Barnes myself. Not sure what the right answer is

 

[Northern Voice]

I would guess Barnes but he was already taken in a couple of mine, so grabbed Jeffress in case. Albers also scooped up in one of my leagues.

 

[MAC_32]

I just ran and grabbed Jeffress. 

Brewers telecast said Albers 

 

[Northern Voice]

watch it be Hader.

 

[MAC_32]

watch it be Hader.

Copycat league - he will probably be their Andrew Miller/Archie Bradley/Brad Peacock. Could vulture, but doubt he's the main guy. 

 

[MAC_32]

I added all but Hader in one league

 

[Eephus]

I added all but Hader in one league

You should get help man

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

I grabbed anyone available in any league, except Jeffress. #### that guy.

I added Pete Vukovich, just to be sure. 

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Hader has entered the game in the fourth inning with Milwaukee down by two. 

 

[HellToupee]

 we wont see Barnes tonight after throwing 2 yesterday 

 

[Eephus]

Knebel shooting for 4-6 weeks.  

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Not all his fault, but Barnes just blew the save against the Cubs.

It is so odd to see how fundamentally bad Milwaukee's infield is when their manager played sixteen years as a utility infielder.

This

 

[Plorfu]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH ALEX COLOME!!@

 

[Eephus]

Jansen looked like himself for his first SV of the season

 

[Eephus]

Four Brads earned SVs today:  Boxberger, Brach, Peacock and Ziegler

 

[MAC_32]

Peacock?

Well that's a pleasant surprise...

 

[PIK95]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH ALEX COLOME!!@

I was looking at Romo, and today made me grab him.

 

[MAC_32]

Barnes relieved Hader and finished the 8th. Albers in for the 9th. 

 

[Northern Voice]

Barnes relieved Hader and finished the 8th. Albers in for the 9th. 

He may not get the next one.

 

[fred_1_15301]

Barnes relieved Hader and finished the 8th. Albers in for the 9th. 

So Barnes loses the closer gig because his defense blows?

 

[MAC_32]

So Barnes loses the closer gig because his defense blows?

I don't think either one has the job right now. Albers was okay tonight too. Only real note is it's one of them and we probably won't know which one until the other one screws up a couple more times.

 

[Northern Voice]

Neither Albers or Barnes gave up anything hard hit, did they?

In related news, Holland has walked the first two he's faced in his Cards debut (tied in top of 10th)

 

[Northern Voice]

Albers now in line for the win  

 

[MAC_32]

Neither Albers or Barnes gave up anything hard hit, did they?

Nope, couple base hits then small balled their way to the tying run. Didn't watch the Barnes blown save, but more than a few have skewered the infield about it.

 

[MAC_32]

Albers now in line for the win  

Quality 10th inning, but doubt he pitches tomorrow. 30+ pitches 

 

[Northern Voice]

Quality 10th inning, but doubt he pitches tomorrow. 30+ pitches 

No, but at least for fishing for saves, it's down to Albers and Barnes now it seems. Jeffress and Hader both being used earlier in the games these past couple nights.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

AJ Hinch hates Ken Giles I guess  

Giles coming in for a 1 out save opportunity.

And promptly gives up a 700 foot shot that was barely foul. 

 

[Doctor Detroit]

And promptly gave up a 420 ft foul ball, about 8 ft wide of the pole.

Great minds

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Never a doubt

He stinks

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Suffice to say, Greg Holland was ready for a high-leverage situation.  :bbbbbbbb:

 

[Mr.Pack]

Barnes relieved Hader and finished the 8th. Albers in for the 9th. 

I just don't get why they don't make Hader the Closer

 

[the moops]

alex colome. yikes dude

 

[Eephus]

Hunter Strickland still gives up long HRs
