Milwaukee Brewers – Despite the full slate of games yesterday, there wasn’t much relief pitching news across baseball, so we thought we’d use this space today to highlight Hunter Strickland’s recent trip around the majors. With yesterday’s trade, from the Angels to the Brewers, Strickland is joining his 7th team (Giants, Mariners, Nats, Mets, Rays, Angels, Brewers) in the last three years. Strickland actually had a great stretch with Tampa to start the season, then was pretty awful with the Angels, but anyway, this probably doesn’t matter much so let’s just get to the Vulture Save Watch and move on with our lives, shall we?
Hierarchy remains: Hader | Williams | Boxberger.
VULTURE SAVE WATCH
Today
1. Andrew Chafin – Craig Kimbrel has gone three straight.
2. Brad Boxberger – Josh Hader has gone three straight and Devin Williams has gone back to back, which means… wait… is that Hunter Strickland’s music?!?! (No. It’s Brad Boxberger’s.)
3. Aaron Bummer – Liam Hendriks has gone in three of the last four and could get the night off.
Tomorrow
1. Blake Treinen – Kenley Jansen threw 20 pitches Sunday; if he goes again today he’ll be off tomorrow.
