7 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers reliever Tony Cingrani has "dead arm", according to Dave Roberts. That would certainly explain why Cingrani was lit up in Friday night's game against the Giants. He was tagged for the loss after giving up four ER in 1/3 of an inning. Coming into the game in the seventh, he immediately walked Brandon Crawford and his velocity was noticeably off. It's a shame because he's been one of the few bright spots in the team's beleaguered bullpen. Before last night's debacle, he had no walks on the year and had only given up six hits, while striking out 17 in just 9 1/3 innings. The lefty will play catch on Saturday and a decision on his recovery will be made then. Players in leagues that count holds (as well as anyone who feels Kenley Jansen's reign is over) should monitor Cingrani's progress.--Mario Hernandez - RotoBaller
