Bullpen Report: June 3, 2018

Bud Norris didn’t have the best start to his appearance on Saturday, as he allowed a game-tying solo home run to Austin Meadows in a save situation to begin the ninth inning. Coming into the day he had allowed 3 ER over his last 3 IP but was able to successfully convert all 11 of his save chances. Despite officially blowing his first save, he was able to strike out the side. We’ll have to keep a close eye on him based on his results recently, but his 14% SwStr, 34% K, and 2.07 SIERA suggest that he not only has a long leash at this point, but would be a solid fantasy contributor even without the saves. He’ll need to rack up a couple more rough outings before his color is changed on the table. Rookie Austin Gomber made his major league debut prior to Norris’s appearance and hurled three scoreless innings with two strikeouts and one walk.

Bullpen Report: May 20, 2018

The Cardinals-Phillies matchup yielded some interesting results on Saturday. Jordan Hicks – who was covered at length by Al Mechior on May 18th – hurled a scoreless seventh frame in a tie game, throwing 10-of-12 pitches for strikes and getting three ground ball outs. Tommy Hunter replaced Luis Garcia (who gave up a home run to Tyler O’Neil in the sixth) in the bottom of the inning. The first hitter to come to the plate – Tommy Pham – hit a slow dribbler to Scott Kingery at third base and he made an errant throw to first base to advance Pham to second base. Matt Carpenter was up next, doubling on the second pitch he saw to give the Cardinals a one-run lead. Hunter was able to escape the inning without giving up another run, but he started behind three-of-the-five hitters he faced and didn’t record a strikeout. With the Cardinals up a run, they turned to Greg Holland in the eighth to hold the lead. He was unable to oblige. After getting Carlos Santana and Aaron Altherr to ground out and strike out to start the frame, he yielded a walk, triple, and single to give the Phillies a lead they wouldn’t relinquish.
