What's wrong with Weaver so far this year?

he throws like 85mph. The decline started last yr

 

[Raider Nation]

There's gotta be a better option than Tommy Hunter to close a game.

There's gotta be a better option than Tommy Hunter to close a game.

Take a look around baseball, the majority of closers are having issues. Kenley Jansen might have the best stuff of any closer and he's blown two saves and has a WHIP over 2. Hunter has very good stuff and had a great year last year, he's definitely their best option.

If Hunter can hold his own against lefties, he can keep the role.

i heard jansen's problem might be hes throwing harder than usual and the ball isnt cutting as much. Crazy

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Choo! I mean, honestly man, who strikes out 5 times in a game! especially when each one costs me a point.

 

[Raider Nation]

Trout is the best player in the history of the game, except when I have money on the Angels.

Then... he hits into a routine double-play on the first pitch.

I haven't checked his velocity from a year ago, but he's throwing those 93 mph cutters. I think location is his issue, he left that ball up to VMart the other night and a hitter like that can use his velocity against him. He was money vs Cabrera, everything 98 riding in on the hands. Not many pitchers can over-match Cabrera, Jansen did that night.

Holland also looks like crap. My elite closer plan to limit inconsistencies and ensure stability has pretty much failed thus far.

 

[Raider Nation]

I love VALVERDE!!!!!

It would be a heartbreaker to lose this one now. Last leg of a 3-team parlay that pays $2K.

It's like you don't even read my posts!

 

[Raider Nation]

And if that is still ambiguous, yes.... GO HALOS!

 

[Raider Nation]

Shocking.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Frenchy gets played.

 

[Wrigley]

Hey Edwin, hows about an RBI?

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Hey Edwin, hows about an RBI?

Hooray!

 

[Hilts]

Is it just me or are all teams shifting like crazy now? Yanks do it a ton now. And its not just for a few batters, its all batters including righties. Gotta love new age baseball!

Brandon Moss successfully bunted for a single against the shift last week.

 

[Wrigley]

Hey Edwin, hows about an RBI?

Hooray!

 

[Arsenal of Doom]

Brett Anderson hurt? Say it ain't so.

Broken index finger on his pitching hand from hitting a ball off the end of the bat. Out 4-6 weeks.

Some guys just have seriously awful luck with injuries.

#Rays: Jake Odorizzi-P: Tuesday starter Jake Odorizzi sent back to hotel to rest after playing catch today. http://bit.ly/1nn6XWg

"Just go lay down, Jake."

Hopefully he brought his computer so he can rub one out in the sink. That should righten the ship.

 

[fasteddie_21]

10 HR's so far between Pit & Cincy...we're in the bottom of the 6th.

Record for the park. Just crazy to watch.

 

[Limp Ditka]

They just keep blowing these transfer calls. The ruling that just happened in Texas is worse than a johnjohn posting.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

some nice work by bj rosenberg for the phillies. comes into the game and gives up 3 consecutive HR. pulled now after recording no outs.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

They aren't blowing the calls, it's just a very strange rule twist going on. Dislike the rule but they are applying it the way they wrote it.

its a rule change. Something to do with removing judgment from replay

 

[Limp Ditka]

It's awful. Those have been outs my entire life.

Catch the ball with you foot on the bag, it's an out.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Who am I kidding, they've been outs for Eephus' entire life

 

[rodg12]

Yeah, they flat out changed the rule. It's infuriating.

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Some awful relief pitching (both sides) in this game.

A lot of gasoline on the fire.

 

[Eephus]

The artist formerly known as @LoMoMarlins left tonight's game with a hamstring injury. You can probably drop him in your 16 team AL-only league now.

Saw on twitter that this was the first time a picture had ever come in, given up 3 consecutive HRs, then got pulled.

Marmol would have thrown a walk in the middle.

 

[Smack Tripper]

Kimbrel out with shoulder stiffness

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Cuddyer hit the wall really hard going for a flyball, and has some sort of elbow injury. He was squeezing his hand but was in obvious pain, that sux0r really bad. :(

Hope it's nothing too serious.

Yes, but they've already come back and said it was only a bruise.

I already have more players on the bench/in Boras purgatory than I do starting.

So, looking at accuweather...gotta be no baseball tonight in New York, probably Philly too, and maybe Baltimore. Looks like the system could be out of Baltimore and maybe Philly in time to start the game in the 8 or 9 o clock range, but then they're starting a game late on a weekday night in awful conditions - 40, very windy, and still some rain. Financially, probably better off cancelling, rescheduling, and hoping for better weather then. Attendance can't be looking good tonight.

Any locals got any extra info?
