The Kekambas bitch learning: free agent pickup & ability to alter lineup may end up being this manager's downfall..

Remember last week when I pointed out Joe made his first pickup of the season when he snagged Jameson Taillon off the waiver wire ? 

 

Ya... Well, it turns out Joe decided to sit him this week and Taillon went on to throw 8 scoreless innings on Tuesday earning him roughly ~25.00 points. That must be tough knowing that this is probably the first time Joe has altered his starting lineup the whole season, as he decides to sit the prime prospect in advance of him throwing an absolute gem!

Jameson Taillon takes no-hitter into 7th in brilliant second start 

WHAT AN IDIOT!

Here's a live look at Joe being interviewed by CBS News as to why he made this decision that may ultimately lead to a detrimental decline in the standings. 

I actually witnessed the interview live, keep in mind the empty beer cup (my theory as to why Joe was so angry  that this reported decided to ask him why on earth he would sit Jameson Taillon this week.)

 Here was Joe's response: "Hey buddy, are you my therapist? Take a walk" 

The reporter actually took a walk to fetch this guy a beer, really sad stuff if you think about it.   

 

AL Player of the Week

Chris Davis - Manager: Nolan - Dominant performance from the Left Handed Slugger

Davis hit .368/.462/1.211 with five home runs and 10 RBIs in six games as the O's went 3-3 on the week against the Royals and Blue Jays.

NL Player of the Week

Jon Lester - Manager: Brian's Team - Dominant performances from the Left Handed Fireballer 

"Lester was superb to start the week against the Phillies on June 6th. He went eight innings and allowed four hits and no runs while striking out nine Phillies in a Cubs victory at Citizens Bank Park.

Sunday Lester managed to duplicate the feat on Sunday against the Braves. While he did allow an unearned run in the first inning the lefty was solid the rest of the way as he struck out seven batters and scattered five hits in the Cubs’ 13-2 win over Atlanta at Turner Field." source
In each victory, Lester didn’t yield a single walk to the Phillies or Braves. For the month of June, Lester is 3-0 with a .38 ERA with 26 strikeouts compared to zero walks.

 Bartolo Colon Broke James Shields

James Shields before the Bartolo Colon HR: 8 starts, 52 IP, 3.12 ERA
James Shields after the Bartolo Colon HR 5 starts, 24.1 IP, 7.77 ERA

Hope this doesn't affect the Manager of Team Marty Weeds' credibility. James Shields Sux, just like Adam Morrison.
