Hanrahan removed as closer

Looks like a mix of Beer Goggles and Kip Wells until Beimel can get back.

Comments

Steven Shell and Wil Ledezma, both cleared waivers today. Ledezma will report to Class AAA Syracuse. Shell has elected to become a free agent.

Surprising move by Shell after Rizzo's comments...

Vivian Jaffe: "Have you ever transcended space and time?"
Albert Markovski: "Yes. No. Uh, time, not space... No, I don't know what you're talking about."

Yes, one would have thought Steven would have preferred to live out his dream of retiring as a Nat.

They treat the pitchers so well here…

“Acta had said in previous days that Hanrahan would again be given chances in the ninth inning, but after this one, he called Hanrahan the closer with no equivocation. “We’re closing with Joel,” Acta said. “We’re going back to closing with Joel.”
