BP Fantasy Baseball (2008-2024, Current Champion = MD Buckeye again)

Time for Herrera and Santana to have the best damn weeks of their careers again.

12 R, 6 HR, 22 RBI and a SB last time against me.

Add in Machado’s 8/4/11 and I never stood a chance. Story raped me, Hanley Ramirez raped me (while he still had a job.) I’m having PTSD now just thinking about it.

Well they just had their biggest collective bed shatting last week so yeah, using the "they are due" theory it could get ugly.

Then again, they all pretty much like sucking sweat from moose balls so it's hard telling what you are going to get any given week.

Back to back double digit point totals from my team, the “they are due” theory going for you, me trailing you by just a few games after scratching and clawing my way to 7th place from...7th place for like the last 6 weeks and finally seeing some light at the end of the tunnel. Now, getting to go head to head this week with the team I’m directly chasing...It all adds up to the most monumental limp dicking a fantasy baseball team has ever laid forth. And you’re going to reap all the benefits.

Looking for clarification here.

Jeffress entered the game yesterday with two outs in the fifth and a one run lead. He gets out of the fifth and pitches the sixth, leaving the game still with that one run lead. No hold was awarded. Why is this?

Is it because to get a win, a pitcher has to go 5 innings and since Jeffress came in initially during that 5 inning window, it doesn’t qualify as a save opportunity? The definition of a hold is a save opportunity but not at the end of the game. All the requirements for a save opportunity were met minus what I can’t find mentioned anywhere, which is how deep in to the game you have to be before it actually counts as a save opportunity vs. still being too early in the game. I’ve looked and can’t find anything that states that it can’t be earned before the 6th inning but that is my only guess.

That is correct. Technically, Jeffress was the pitcher of record for the Brewers because he finished the fifth inning and the Brewers had the lead. Unfortunately for you, Hader came in and blew the lead later in the game wiping out Jeffress’s chance at the win.

I believe if Jeffress would have entered the game in the sixth with a one run lead, and left after one inning maintaining that one run lead, he would have been credited with a hold.
