This season is...full of surprises. In a way it makes it more fun. I think everyone knows whoever wins the league (including the winner himself) will know there are a few asterisks to go with the trophy. I think it takes some of the pressure off and you just roll with the punches the best you can win or lose. I was also thinking Kintzler was in for a hold while being perplexed BTW. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Fortunately, since i learned my lesson earlier, I was able to fully cheer him on for the save. Re: KINTZLER, in case anyone is just checking the box, his one hit given up was a weak grounder, and both of his strikeouts were on questionable sinkers coming back to (or not quite to) the outside corner. His role seems absolutely locked in and his control, as usual, solid. The saves should come, just don't expect much K's. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

jmcampbe11 863 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Pressly's still the favorite for saves in Houston right? Because he was just dropped in my competitive 10 team roto saves + holds league. What am I missing? I was all set to use my #2 waiver claim on Tommy Edman, but now I think I might need to use it on Pressly instead. Link to post Share on other sites
BostonCajun 1,698 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I don’t see a reason why they’d give anyone other than Pressly the first crack at it given his track record. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm thinking the same, and I'm in a saves + holds league which allows me to hedge my bets a bit. I guess I'm canceling my waiver claim for Edelman and using it on Pressly...

JameisofThrones 218 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 No Hendriks tonight. Guessing trying to keep his workload down since he worked three of the last four days. Soria looking to finish it. Link to post Share on other sites
aapox 898 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 FYI The Cubs were up 4-1 in the 8th and used Jeffress who looked good and went 1-2-3, then in the 9th, Wick was warming up but the Cubs scored 2 runs with 2 outs and sat him down. So, Wick didn't get in there, but he was going to get the save opportunity if the Cubs did not add insurance. This is really good news for Wick owners because the pen was pretty rested and they could have gone just about any way. So, is Helsey any good? I have a roster spot opening up and I'm out of service this weekend so I was thinking of putting him in there for the weekend and maybe get a Save or at least some work, but I don't want to worry about...and this is a Cubs fan talking about a Cardinal so I'm already kinda worried about it... 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites

He showed he can handle pressure in the playoffs last year, 5 1/3 scoreless innings, 1 hit, 1BB, 8 Ks. He has high 90s closer velocity. K’s have been a bit low despite it. But yes, he’s good and could run with it if he gets first crack. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
