Week 11: Sunday Roundup

This is the body language of a man who just allowed a home run to a Met.
Voiceover: It wouldn't be the only homer he would allow on this day.

In our scientific poll of single ladies, 50 percent preferred
young Ken Phelps and 50 percent preferred old Ken Phelps.

SATURDAY STUDS: Sean Newcomb (SG) took advantage of the Padres the way so many do. He struck out 7 and didn't allow a run in a 6-inning win. J.T. Realmuto (AL) homered twice, singled and drove in 4.

SATURDAY DUDS: None. Not even the Mets, who actually won a game.

SUNDAY STUDS: Justin Bour (FF) hit a solo homer and a 3-run homer against the Orioles, who are the American League version of the Mets. Maikel Franco (FF) had a 2-run homer and a 2-run single, and walked. Gregory Polanco (M) was a triple short of a cycle, scored twice, drove in 2 and walked. Brandon Nimmo (CB) duplicated Polanco's output minus the walk. Odubel Herrera (CB) was a triple short of a cycle, walked and scored 3 runs.

SUNDAY DUDS: Wade Davis (M) had a remarkable outing in Texas, throwing 38 pitches (only 15 of them for strikes), retiring 1 batter and posting a score of minus-7.7. Davis entered with a 3-run lead; the inning went walk, steal, walk, flyout, single, RBI walk, RBI walk, 2-run single. Brad Boxberger (SG) was slightly more effective, posting a minus-5.3. Boxberger struck out 2 but allowed 2 homers and 4 runs, blew the save and took the loss. Did we mention this occurred against the METS? Addison Russell (AL) walked and erred.
