It’s all fun and games until you collapse in the 2nd half.make the playoff for the first time in a while. Of course with all that success came the fame (As much fame you could get from appearing in television and radio ads). Big things were expected, as they probably should’ve been with the season he just had. And to start, Archie did everything he could to live up to the hype.His April was magical, finishing the month with a 1.72 ERA across 15.2 innings and was dominant in just about every appearance, using a 96mph fastball to blow by hitters. He appeared in 15 games to start the season, and the team was 14-1 in them. Of course that type of usage early on will on hurt you, and we saw that when the calendar flipped to May.fangraphs.comJust a tiny blip of course, as Archie still threw a shutdown 8th inning. But after averaging 95 the past month then suddenly seeing a 91 will give any manager/coach warning. A quick 3 game rest had him back to normal and Archie went right back to work Denard Span Jersey , albeit a bit vulnerable to the long ball.He allowed 3 in May, to go along with 2 blown saves and a loss, which had his ERA almost triple to 4.22. But of course Archie rebounded in June, pitching 12.2 innings with an ERA at 0.71. Absolutely fantastic stuff from the young reliever. The All-Star break came and went without much fanfare. He had finished his 1st half at a miniscule 1.97 ERA. Sure, his strikeouts were down and hitters were had a low .220 BABIP against him, but it’s Archie we’re talking about here! He always had low BABIPs, including a .276 last season and while Bradley struck guys out, he never was known for his overpowering stuff like some other dominant relievers.And wouldn’t you know it, Archie was human again. Colorado exploded for 6 runs against him in his first appearance of the 2nd half and it was all downhill from there. He finished July with a 6.17 ERA. With an August rebound at 3.75 and another pitiful performance in September/October, finishing the year at a 7.00.So what happened? Well who knows. His velocity was the same as the early season but he lost command of his curveball due to a cracked nail on his finger http://www.marinersfanproshop.com/authentic-edgar-martinez-jersey , a pitch that was very good for him last season, and he became a two-pitch pitcher. While his cutter isn’t bad, without another pitch on a different plane to keep hitters honest, they can sit fastball and adjust easier than with his curveball. Said Bradley in a midseason interview with Nick Piecoro:Despite the step back season from Archie Bradley, he’s still one of the only long-term options they have in the bullpen and should probably be the closer going forward. Out of all the players back there, when he’s on, he’s got the best raw stuff and the attitude to match. But was 2018 just apart of the randomness that is relievers? Or is it a dangerous sign to come?

Dallas Keuchel isn’t coming off a great year, but the 2015 Cy Young winner was still better than average and has been an innings-eater for the majority of his career. He’s a valuable commodity Ben Gamel Jersey , though there seems to be a significant gap between what he wants and what teams are offering. Thursday morning, Buster Olney tweeted that the two sides had discussions, though a deal wasn’t close. Later, Ken Rosenthal indicated that Houston had offered one- and two-year deals. It’s not much of a surprise the 31-year-old turned down something that short-term. He should be able to do better than that. Houston has a solid rotation as it is, but it’s really top-heavy with Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole before they are relying on Wade Miley and some young guys like Josh James and eventually Forrest Whitley. It should also be mentioned that both Verlander and Cole are free agents at the end of the year. I’m a little surprised Boston’s other AL rival, the Yankees, aren’t more involved right now. It is looking like Luis Severino and C.C. Sabathia are going to miss the start of the year, and their depth is already being tested. Wherever Keuchel ends up, he should be able to get at least three years. He’s been good and durable enough.
