Fresh off His MLB Return, Tejay Antone Releases 'The Tommy John Protocol'
Front cover of Tejay Antone's new book, "The Tommy John Protocol" Cincinnati Reds pitcher delivers a raw memoir and rehab playbook on injury, identity, and faith—with a foreword by baseball legend Tommy John himself.
McCoy: Reds blow three-run lead, fall to first-place Brewers
The first-place Brewers spotted the Reds a three-run lead through six innings, then outscored them by six runs in the seventh and eighth innings to post a 7-4 victory. All six runs came against the Reds bullpen — Michael Lorenzen, Mychal Givens, Tejay Antone and Luis Cessa. When it looked as if the Reds would pull to within 6 1/2 games of the National League Central Division lead, they instead fell back 8 1/2 games.

Top 100 Relievers for Save+Hold Leagues: 6/25
Rick Graham updates his top 100 relief pitchers for SV+HD leagues. In a league where we are seeing decreasing spin rates left and right, Scott Barlow has actually seen an increase over the past week, with both his curve and slider up over 120 RPM’s in his last outing. For the season, Barlow ranks in the top 25 amongst all qualified relievers in xFIP, K%, CSW%, and SwStr%.
Top 100 Relievers for Save+Hold Leagues: 6/4
Rick Graham updates his top 100 relief pitchers for SV+HD leagues. James Karinchak is having a ridiculous season, or at least he was up until Cleveland decided to move him into the closer role. Over the past two weeks, Karinchak has an 11.81 ERA and 2.81 WHIP to go with an 8/5 K/BB ratio. So have teams figured him out or is he just not meant for the closer role? It may be a bit of both, but the best answer is that he is human and just going through a rough patch right now.
Top 100 Relievers for Save+Hold Leagues: 5/21
Rick Graham updates his top 100 relief pitchers for SV+HD leagues. It’s May 21st and while I’m not ready to call it yet, based on recent usage in that bullpen, I think we may be looking at Tejay Antone as the new closer of the Reds moving forward. I had my doubts as I figure the Reds would want to use Antone in more of a multi-inning role, but they could also do that with Lucas Sims, so might as well use your best reliever in the closer role.
Top 100 Relievers for Save+Hold Leagues: 4/30
Rick Graham updates his top 100 relief pitchers for SV+HD leagues. Josh Staumont is the latest Royals pitcher to record a save, but despite the team using six different relievers to close out games this year, Staumont seems likely to stick in the role here for a while. A popular breakout pick entering the season, Staumont has done a better job limiting walks (10.2% BB rate) but I’m not quite sure everything is fine under the hood.
The Hold Up 4/29: Ranking the Top 90 Relievers for Holds Every Thursday
Rick Graham ranks baseball's top setup options for the 2021 season. Jonathan Loaisiga is doing his best Chad Green impersonation for the Yankees, and is currently tied with Green for second on the team with three SV+HLD’s on the season. Three seems like a low number, but keep in mind the Yankees have been struggling out of the gate (that won’t last) but all three have also come in the past week.
