ZeroTolerance 582 Posted April 5, 2012 Nacho Grande really screwed me in the Geek Homer League. Stole the win from Verlander, hung Melancon with the loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hoytdwow 202 Posted April 5, 2012 At least you dunces understand what's important, which is that the Tigers won. also, it's actually awesome that fatverde converted all 49 save chances last year, then blew his very first chance this year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CantTouchThis 23 Posted April 6, 2012 I can definitely see Papa taking a step or two back this season. You could see him starting to get iffy towards the end of last season and at times in the playoffs. Still got the win, but spoiled a brilliant game by JV. He wants to equal or top last year, and that won't happen if the BP are going to blow his shut down games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 4,588 Posted April 6, 2012 That's fricking rough. The guy was a stud all last year and you get down on him for one bad outing to start the new year. Just be glad the Tigers pulled off the win anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
southcarolina 166 Posted April 6, 2012 Today in southcarolina Geek Homer League news: Jon Lester throws 7 innings only giving up 6 hits and 1 runs to Detroit, with 4 K and he gets a no decision Justin Masterson freeking DEALS for 8 innings, giving up 2 hits and 1 run while striking out 10, and f0cking closer Chris Perez looks like he is petrified of the strikezone, and Masterson gets a no decision Eric Bedard throws 7 innings of 1 run ball, striking out 4 and giving up 6 hits, and loses the game 1-0? I can see that this fantasy baseball is going to push me right over the edge by the All Star break. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just be glad the Tigers pulled off the win anyways. Unfortunately I just had a feeling this year that the wheels would come off for him. Obviously one game is way too soon to say it happened, but as great as he was last year, he always left you a little uneasy. Hopefully I'm wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
supermike80 1,341 Posted April 6, 2012 I'm very cool with it, especially since the Tigers got the win. It had to happen sometime so good that it did now and we are past it. Does suck that JV doesn't get the win, but his era is still 0.0. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swirvenirvin 25 Posted April 6, 2012 Really he converts 50 in a row and you get pissed at the first one he blows? Dumb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kilroy69 1,026 Posted April 6, 2012 Really he converts 50 in a row and you get pissed at the first one he blows? Dumb It all starts with one in the downfall of a closer. One year removed from a perfect season he could melt down. A closer, no matter how good always has someone breathing down his neck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZeroTolerance 582 Posted April 6, 2012 Could this be the year of the closer meltdown? Ridiculous the number of finishers who have been beaten this week: K. Wood/Marmol (CHC) Perez (Cle) Valverde (Det) Melancon/Aceves (Bos) Rivera (NYY) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mungwater 589 Posted April 8, 2012 Woody and marmol blew another one, it's going to be a long season for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

southcarolina 166 Posted April 10, 2012 Relief pitchers...the lowest forms of life on earth. Over Papa Grande? No...i dont think i'll ever be over Papa Grande...those wounds run pretty deep. Anyway, add Toronto closer Sergio Santos to the list.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZeroTolerance 582 Posted April 10, 2012 Over Papa Grande? No...i dont think i'll ever be over Papa Grande...those wounds run pretty deep. Anyway, add Toronto closer Sergio Santos to the list.... Nah, over relief pitchers in general. Watched another group of them blow games last night. 13 relievers have blown saves less than a week into the season. It has been my long standing opinion that relief pitchers are the bottom of the barrel in terms of roles in professional sports. Middle relievers are pretty much guys who can't crack the top 5 pitchers on their team, and can't perform well enough for one inning at a time to be closers.

Closing pitchers are under pressure and a good one is highly coveted. The Rodney Dangerfields of pro sports are football's long-snappers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
