That was so awesome that even Dave O'Brien felt compelled to let the moment breathe for a few seconds.

Forgot about this until the World Series. Luke Weaver put up 1.0 fWAR this year lol (1.9 bWAR).& I'm adding Luke Weaver to the mix. He was awful last year, but I think he's a legit steal at $2m & expect him to bounce back to being a 1 fWAR or more pitcher. I think he's run bad on injuries & BABIP, but has good stuff & just needs to refine his pitch mix. He had a 6.56 ERA last year but a 2.69 FIP. At a minimum, I think he could be an effective bulk reliever.
