Dude is F-I-L-T-H-Y right now. Makes you want to root for close games.

Love that Joe had to put him into a 9-0 game to get some work because the Cubs are winning games by too large a margin for him to get any save opportunities.

I noticed the other day that The Cubs have 14 wins (13 at the time) and Rondon only had 3 saves.  I don't think it means anything but still struck me as kind of odd.

edit: I just opened the new post on Jesse Rogers' ESPN blog and, of course, the first paragraph mentions this exactly.  Obviously, having the same thought as that dude clearly means my brain is mush.

Yeah, but you smoke a lot of herb. He's just that way.

Two groundballs with eyes, a sac bunt and sac fly = L.

Life as a high-leverage reliever must be stressful as hell. The bad batted-ball luck illustrates the need for a high K-rate in those roles, which thankfully, Hector has.

I'm not superstitious, but I am a little stitious and so I was actually kind of okay with Hector giving up a run there on some bullshit BABIP luck to a shit ass team on a day when the Cards and Pirates had already lost anyway. This way he's good for another like 10-20 appearances in a row before he has to give up a run because #baseball.

I hope he doesn't have incentives tied to # of saves in his contract

That strikeout slider to Kemp was absolutely filthy.

My dude. Those were not competitive pitches at all. That 97-mph meatball to Cozart was one of the worst placed balls I've seen all year. Agonizing watching him struggle given how lights-out he used to be.
