Papelbon getting night off

[Chip1010]

Save situation, and Timlin's staying in. I think Paps has worked three days in a row or something like that, and I had read that he would probably not be used tonight.

[the ROC]

yup, 3 saves in 3 days, but not 4 days in a row. looks like paps is at least partially human.

Good preemptive strike to calm down all the people panicking about Paps not gettnig the save.

LOL, fantasy owners must be paranoid if we might be concerned that Paps -- he of the 23 saves and mathematically impossible ERA and WHIP -- doesn't get a save for like the first time this year. I think his job is secure, no?

Second time actually. J. Tavárez closed the finale game vs Tampa in May on May 28 because Pap had closed 3 straight games in that series against Tampa.

What's funny about Pap's ERA is that he can go a few scoreless innings and it won't go down a bit because it's so close to zero as it is.
