The Dongers Club – April 20

← The Dongers Club hub  ·  Daily MLB home run picks & DFS, since August 2020. Browse the archive or see how DCPA works.

The last two weeks have been really down from a Baseball/MLB DFS standpoint.  Some of the results have been so-so with a few hits here and there, but overall it’s been bad by my standards.  One of the things that has been annoying for 10+ days now is the lack of Chairman results, which honestly is just one pick in the whole article but something I definitely take great pride in. I watched some bad Baseball yesterday as I am still blown away by certain teams inability to have a clue how to play situational baseball when it comes to late inning strategy and specifically in extra innings.  Let me rant for a minute here as the Miami Marlins managed to get through the T10 without allowing San Francisco to score and had one of their best athletes – Jazz Chisolm – set to lead off the next inning at 2nd base. Now, mind you, this was because Jazz got out in the inning prior when they had the winning run in scoring position with 2 outs and he was trying to pull the ball as hard as he could for a home run, but I digress. So, let’s see here.  Nobody out, great speed on 2nd, tie game, just need a run to win against the worst bullpen in the NL.  What do you do? Well you swing away first pitch and pop it up of course.  Not even a hint of maybe daring the pitcher to be concerned that Jazz could steal or the threat of a bunt to move him over.  Nothing.  They wound up getting nothing out of the inning despite getting the bases loaded and then lost because they gave up not one, but TWO 2-run homers int he 11th.  Yes, I had a Marlins bet in, and that’s beside the point (**** EDITORS NOTE:  No, Renner is just bitching, thats really the point here *****). It’s frustrating to see shit like that, and then the Max Scherzer sticky stuff scenario while MLB hypes up some bullshit pinch runner rule they are testing in the minor leagues and at some point you say enough with this garbage shit, can we have our real baseball game back? Anyways. I said to myself today would be the day.  I hate Thursday’s in general and there’s no need for me to push my Cal Ripken doing an article…...
