Adam Conley threw 7 2/3 innings, of "exciting" no-hit baseball Friday night, striking out seven Brewers en route to his first win of the season. Manager Don Mattingly pulled Conley after 116 pitches and left it up to Miami's bullpen to blow Conley's no-hitter. Sigh, the Miami fan(s) need someone to cheer for now that their star player Dee "I Didn't Know We Couldn't Do That" Gordon betrayed them. And I won't even mention that other power-hitter outfielder (a complicated restraining order actually prevents me from mentioning his full name, let's just call him G. Stanton--or better, Giancarlo S.) Adam ain't worried about it. YOLO. Speaking of YOLOing, how about that new Drake album? Uh, singasongmuch? Please stop. I get the whole calypso/R&B/I'mdoingthistobangRihanna vibe the album has and I'm not feeling it. Meanwhile, Mr. Drake, you are depriving fans of some of the best Canadian rap the world has to offer. Oh, hey tangent, we were talking about Adam Conley! The lefty now possesses a 3.67 ERA and 1.22 WHIP through four starts with a 28/12 K/BB rate (9.33 K/9). Mmm, strikeouts. Adam's 72.2% swinging strike percentage (including 14 in last night's game) suggest that the strikeouts are for real. That could help your fantasy team. Like Drizzy's new album, he's been a bit inconsistent, but Conley gets Arizona next week, he's available in over 80% of fantasy leagues and he could be worth a pick up in deeper mixed and NL-Only leagues. Why not take a flier--you only YOLO once!
Here's what else I saw Friday in fantasy baseball:
