weakkneeswilly 887 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 The Jays had a day off Thursday. Tepera threw 26 pitches last night 13 for strikes. If there's a save situation today do you think they go to Tepera? Link to post Share on other sites

The Big Bat Theory 8,098 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 1 hour ago, Dr. Whom said: ALvaredo is a lefty although he shows no noticeable splits...only way it is not him would be money Paying closers more than say a fireman is going out the door these days. If they kept him a late innings guy like that and he does real well they would have to pay him as much as a closer on the Rays. Closers have rapidly started to be not a big deal vs fireman types anymore except among the handful of elite, year-after-year ones still around. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Sleeper (as mentioned up a ways) is Stanek... Looks like Stanek is doing the reliever/starter thing. Chaz Roe? Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure how his splits are but I'm guessing he owns RHH with his slider piece. Link to post Share on other sites

I think he has the stuff to be a stud. Hope you’re right. Link to post Share on other sites

I own zero shares of Ziegler, but maybe they should stop pitching him in non-save situations, LOL. He's 9/9 in save opps this year, but he keeps getting hammered in these non-save games...tie game today, up 5 a few nights ago...up 5 towards the end of April. In those three games came 10 of his 16 ER in 2.1 innings. Outside of those three outings, he's got a 2.75 ERA and a 0.97 ERA. In his 9 actual save opps, he has a 1.04 ERA and 0.81 WHIP. When called upon to save a game, he's been very good. As I said, I don't own Ziegler anywhere...and I actually own Barraclough in one league, so I'd love for him to finally overtake the submariner. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

SpecialFNK 1,504 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Hughes got himself in trouble, loading the bases with no out leading 6-5. but he got out of it without giving up a run to get the save. Link to post Share on other sites

Like I posted in the GameDay thread, in all fairness to Hughes, he pitched around CarGo to load the bases because nobody was covering 2nd on Iannetta's hit. It would have been 1st and 3rd when CarGo came up. Still, obviously not the cleanest save, but he got it without giving up a run. I really thought he was going to ruin my ratios for the day, but he didn't, and I'll take it. Link to post Share on other sites

The one constant has been Sir Anthony doing the grunt work ahead of everyone. Obviously, he's been too valuable as a fireman to be used as the fulltime closer.

Nasty at both extremes. Kela and a few other closers also somewhat similar ride. Wonder if it really is something or more happenstance? I mean no one is buying that Ziegler is that good or that bad.
