radioflyer9 59 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Roberts is an idiot! Maeda is by far a better pitcher then Ryu. Maeda has pitched really well when given the chance. I just don't understand this reason to put him in the bullpen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radioflyer9 59 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 He will still technically give us a 4 inning outing sometime throughout the week but now we have to guess which day that will be Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My Dinner With Andre 5,803 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Why does Maeda even stand for this? He's not some unproven pitcher on a rookie contract... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Random Dude 827 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 For those who don't already own him, this is a good buying opportunity. He has shown the ability to help your ratios and get some Ks out of the pen. He will also have good opportunities to run into some wins out of the long relief role also. At some point he will end up back in the rotation, and I really think he can still be helpful in the meantime. Owners are clearly frustrated and you should be able to acquire him at a good price considering his season long ERA, the "demotion" to the bullpen, and the negative rotoworld blurb showing for him.

My Dinner With Andre 5,803 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Maeda threw 78 pitches on Sunday. So when would he be available for his relief appearance? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He will most likely be on standard rest. So 5 days until his relief appearance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
absknicks 3,003 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Well he came in... for one inning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My Dinner With Andre 5,803 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 So is Maeda back to being a starter again or is he going to throw another inning or two over the weekend? Most annoying pitcher to own ever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fiveohnine 1,496 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) There are other guys who also belong on waivers that are more annoying to own, I'm sure. Dont get me wrong. I liked him when I drafted him. But if you can't hold a rotation spot, you can't help me. Edited June 24, 2017 by Fiveohnine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
exm 248 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Dropped. What a waste of a pick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
herschel 1,990 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Kenta Maeda will start Tuesday against the Angels. The Dodgers will move all of their starters back a day. Maeda has spent the better part of a month see-sawing between the bullpen and the starting rotation. The right-hander sports a mediocre 4.87 ERA in his 11 starts this year.

jdizzle 186 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Pitching a gem tonight. Please stay in the rotation and no more bullpen! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rhandome 65 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 ESPN has him starting again on Sunday... hope that's true. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kamura 395 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Oof is the point in time where we get back on the train? Interesting man..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fiveohnine 1,496 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I would think a lot of people grabbed him to start vs. LAA regardless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fiveohnine 1,496 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Personally I liked him a lot when I drafted him. But it doesn't really matter how good your stuff is when you're sitting in the pen waiting for clean up duty. I hope he sticks this time though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But it does because it's a particular level of upside, and a decent proximity to it. I'm not saying I don't understand it, but I would not do it in even a ten team mixed, and personally do t believe it should be done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
street sharks 3,270 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 God I do and don't want to get on this train again. It'd be just my luck to pick him up only for him to have another phantom DL stint or go back to the bullpen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
