There's this guy at the bagel store I go to nearby who is obsessed with Fantasy Baseball. I was talking about his AL-only league the other day and he told me that the hero of his team was none other than Erasmo Ramirez. THAT Erasmo. Thing is, he picked him up at the end of May and rode him and his astoundingly low 3.03 ERA across 18 starts. Despite how much I warned him, Erasmo kept getting plugged into his lineup, despite the fact that since July 25th that low ERA has ballooned to 4.64. All while, of course, Erasmo sports a 6.36 K/9 for the season, but I digress. What I didn't expect is for the fella to no-hit the Yankees through seven and put up a solid line tonight of 7.2 IP, 0 ER, 1 Hits, 2 BBs, 6 Ks. I'm going to tell you what I told my awesome bagel friend - quit while you're ahead. I don't trust him, he allowed 4 ER in three of his last four starts before this diamond, and he's K'd at least 7 batters just three times all year. Be happy, hug it out, swear that you'll call and keep in touch and walk away. You don't want your season to come down to a performance from Erasmo, right?
Let’s see what every other SP did yesterday:
