Brandon Maurer News
Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Brandon Maurer has been on quite the run recently. After throwing a shutout inning against the Blue Jays on Thursday, Maurer has now thrown clean innings in seven of his last eight appearances. Dating back to July 28, Maurer has eight innings pitched while only allowing five hits and one earned run. Sure, he's walked an astounding seven batters while striking out 10 in that time, but if an owner is truly desperate for the smallest amount of relief, Maurer might actually have a little bit of value. However, it's a very little bit since he still plays for the Royals and has only picked up a single hold in that stretch as well.
Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Brandon Maurer continues to reinforce the belief that his 14.25 ERA isn't a mistake. Maurer blew the save opportunity on Monday night by giving up a single and a pair of doubles to open the ninth inning. Tasked with closing the game because closer Wily Peralta had worked three straight games and given a two-run lead, Maurer's antics tied the game and left the winning run on second before he was replaced by Jason Hammel. Hammel promptly allowed that run to score, hanging the loss on Maurer. Maurer has now given up nine earned runs in his last two innings pitched. He should not be owned because he is a terrible major league pitcher.
Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Brandon Maurer was sent to Triple-A back in April after he was terrible to start the season. He was carrying an ERA over 12, so it made sense. After he posted a bad 5.48 ERA at Triple-A, he was recalled in mid-June. In nine appearances since his promotion, he's posted an ERA of...12.27. Monday, he allowed an insurance run for Minnesota just to make sure the game was in the bag. Since he wasn't any good at Triple-A, it's not clear why he went up to the majors instead of down to Double-A, but either way, he certainly shouldn't be owned by anyone. Not even the Royals.
