Lucha Underground: An Extreme Uprising part 2

Scene: Back in the temple

*****NOTE: This imagine may contain a spoiler or two for those who are currently watching season three. Read at your own risk.

Striker: Welcome back everyone to the Temple. Vampiro we are about to see a battle for the ages. A three way dance to see who will face Pentagon Dark for the Lucha Underground championship in our main event.

Vampiro: Yeah and this isn’t just any typical three way match. Its an elimination style match. And these aren’t just any typical wrestlers. These there’s guys are behemoths who feed on destruction.

Matanza’s music comes on first. He comes out accompanied by Dario Cueto.

Vampiro: I gotta tell you man Matanza is one scary dude. He is gonna use his mean streak to try and end this early.

Striker: No doubt there Vamp. Dario does not look happy.

Vampiro: Would you be if you lost your pride and joy?

Matanza enters the ring and Dario stands outside with a very unhappy appearance.Mil Muertes music comes on and he enters on the top level entrance with Catrina. Catrina is still smelling the black rose. Striker: The man of 1,000 deaths has entered the Temple. Mil being a former champion there’s no doubt he understands what’s at stake here. Im also sure he wants to get his hands on Pentagon Dark and show reteach him the feeling of pain. Vampiro: Mil looks very ready to lay into Matanza already. Striker: Yes there is no love lost there. Mil climbs into the ring as Catrina stands on the opposite side of the ring from Dario. Lesnar’s music starts. Heyman comes out the lower entrance first with Lesnar behind him. A cocky smile.

Striker: All three men are well known for their mean streaks and what they can do to people. Lesnar has made in name known in MMA as well as other places in the wrestling world. Now he has come to the temple to show the world what he can do against the best luchadors from all over the world. Vampiro: This man’s reputation proceeds him. He has so many accomplishments and his appetite for more is so impressing dude. This match is gonna be a fun one to watch. Lesnar jumps on the apron and both of the men charge him. He shoulders both men in the gut from in between the top and second rope. Striker: non of these men wasting time going after each other here in the early going. Vampiro: With all three being such big guys they aren’t gonna try to drag it out brother. They are gonna want to use their power and hit hard early and often. Striker: Lesnar now in the ring going after both men with punches. Lesnar then shoves Matanza into a corner. Now soley focused on Mil Muertes he give him a belly to belly suplex. Vampiro: Ohhhh next stop the mat. Striker: Funny I thought you were gonna say something else. Vampiro: You kidding no matter who owns this company I don’t think we have the kind of money to afford a team of lawyers to make that kind of reference. Striker: Very true. Oh! Matanza now with both hands around the throat of Lesnar, but here comes Muertes with a shot from behind. Matanza now turning his focus on Muertes for the moment. And wow! What a German suplex to Matanza by Lesnar! Vampiro: Lesnar isn’t messing around man. I told you, you gotta hit big and Lesnar is doing just that. Striker: But Muertes capitalizes on the big move with a soccer kick to the ribs of Lesnar. Vampiro: That will leave Lesnar sucking wind for a minute. Striker: Muertes now turns his attention to Matanza. Muertes picks up Matanza and lifts him up by the throat with both hands. Muertes then slams him to the mat. Striker: There you go Vamp. Another good shot from Muertes. Who now looks to be going for a cobra clutch on Matanza. Boom Lesnar with a spear. Lesnar getting back to his feet. And matanza hits Lesnar with a spear of his own! Vampiro: Man Matanza caught Lesnar good with that one. Thats like his first big move of the match. Striker: Lesnar doubled over in the center of the ring. Matanza runs to the ropes and is tripped up by Heyman. Vampiro: come on man don’t focus on the guys on the outside that’s how you get got. Striker: Matanza now turning his focus back on Lesnar who kicks Matanza in the mid section. And backs it up with a ddt. Muertes now charging Lesnar. And Lesnar counters with a belly to belly suplex. Vampiro: These guys are delivering a great match man. No down time between any of them. Just go go go. Striker: And Muertes and Matanza now both backing Lesnar into a corner. Both men punching his face back and forth. Now a whip to the ropes. A double arm drag from Matanza and Muertes. Matanza and Mil look up from Lesnar and look at each other. Vampiro: And the short lived duo is over. Striker: Matanza with a right Muertes blocks. Now Muertes with a right but Matanza blocks. Matanza holding the fist of Muertes. And Muertes kicks Matanza in the gut but he stands right back up. Vampiro: These guys man they have no quit in them. Striker: And Lesnar out of nowhere with a huge German suplex on Muertes. Matanza grabbing Lesnar by the throat. Up he goes. Massive chokeslam from Matanza. Matanza now looking at Muertes. Vampiro: Forget about him. Go for the pin brother. Strkier: I don’t think he’s listening to you as he sets up for a chokeslam on Muertes. Matanza starts taunting the crowd while holding on to Muertes. Vampiro: Your taking too long man. Striker: Mil Muertes grabs the throat of Matanza now. Pulls him in. The flatliner connects. Hes heading for the pin. But Lesnar grabs him before he can get there and tosses Mil Muertes out of the ring likes he’s a child onto Dario Cueto. Vampiro: It’s about to get real here for all these competitors. Striker: Lesnar’s focus is now on the grounded Matanza. He picks him up. Matanza now on the shoulders of Lesnar. F5!!!! A tornado has just touched down in Boyle Heights!!! Vampiro: That move shook the entire Temple dude. Lesnar has such force and violence behind his move set man it’s incredible. Striker: What’s even more impressive is the big man going onto the top rope. Matanza on the mat. Shooting star press from the massive Lesnar! How does a big man move like that. Vampiro: For a big guy, he sure is good with that move. Its very difficult even for some of the smaller guys. You cant knock his athleticism. Striker: One. Two. Three. It’s over for Matanza. And then there was Mil Muertes. Vampiro: Look at Dario man. He can’t believe what just happened the guy is I total shock. Striker: Some of that might be from being stuck under the large mass known as Mil Muertes. Who is now back in the ring locked in a stare down with Lesnar. Vampiro: This moment is so intense. Oh here we go. Striker: The tie up between the two. Lensar breaks it and goes for a bear hug. He squeezes hard once. Twice. Vampiro: I’ve seen this before brother what comes next isn’t good. Striker: Lesnar slamming Matanza in the mat like he’s a small child. Vampiro: I hate to say but this guy might be in a league of his own as far as strength goes. Pentagon might wanna watch out cuz Lesnar is coming for him. Striker:Lesnar picking up Mil Muertes a feeling of an end here perhaps. Vampiro: Check it out brother. Catrina trying to pull some slick moves here. Striker: Catrina on the apron trying to distract the ref. Lesnar isn’t phased as he hits Muertes with an F5! He covers. Now he sees it. He picks up Muertes again. Vampiro: Catrina’s plan is backfiring brother. I think her best course of action is to let this one go and let Muertes live to fight another day. Striker: Lesnar with another F5 on Muertes. Heyman has a mic now. Heyman:(talking to the ref) Hey! As the owner of the Lucha Underground Temple I order to ban here from ring side. Throw her out of here! Striker: The ref throwing Catrina out. Lesnar getting down and putting Muertes in a kimora. Striker: One.Two. Three. Yep Lesnar standing triumphantly. Ohh!!! Pentagon Dark comes out of nowhere with massive chair shots to the back of Lesnar. Vampiro: Well Heyman said all matches are no DQ. He brought this on himself. Striker: Well Pentagon has a mic now. Pentagon: Tonight you will watch as I break the arm of your beast! Striker: Strong word from Pentagon as he goes back to work with that chair. Vampiro: Man rough chair shot after chair shot. Thing is though each one improves his chances of staying champ. Striker: Pentagon backing off now Lesnar getting up and Pentagon throws the chair at Lesnar’s head. Pentagon showing no mercy here. Perhaps realizing the severity of the situation he’s in. Vampiro: No doubt a rough one cause if Lesnar gets a hold of him it could be bad. Striker: Pentagon off the ropes now. Goes for a tornado ddt and Lesanr throws Pentagon to the ground! Grabbing hold of Pentagon again. Goung for a powerbomb. He’s not letting go. Lesnar going for a second. Vampiro: Pentagon might be in a bad way here brother. Striker: That double powerbomb had to take a lot out of him Lesnar now picking Pentagon Dark up off the ground. Low blow by Pentagon! Vampiro: Again No dq. How’s thay rule working out for you Heyman? Striker: Pentagon with a kick to the chest followed by an insugiri. Now picking up Lesnar who counters with a shot to the mid section. Picking up Pentagon up on his shoulders. F5! It’s over, it’s gotta be over. Heyman: (shouting from ringside without a mic) Break his arm!!! Vampiro: Don’t think so bro. Lesnar is gonna do to Pentagon what he said he would to him. Striker: Pentagon in the Kimora. Trying to hold on as best as he can. He taps! We have a new champion in the Temple. And Lesnar isn’t letting go. Heyman: (without a mic) Break it Brock! Break his arm! Vampiro: Ahhhh. Thats it. Striker: My co host Vampiro has left the commentary table. He’s now in the ring. Oh!!!! Huge chair shot to the head from Vampiro. All to save his servant Pentagon Dark. Or former servant. I’m not sure which. Heyman: (With a mic toward Vampiro ) Ian!!! Your suspended!!! Get out of my ring. And Ian to show you I will be fair. It’s only for one night. Then you can come back and show me you can behave in MY Temple. Striker: An interesting and perhaps unfortunate turn of events. Ladies and gentlemen for Vampiro. I’m Matt Striker and this has been Lucha Underground.

They have possibly the best lineup in the National League and that will keep them in Wild Card contention.

With all of their offseason moves to fix their lineup, they hope that will keep them out of the cellar.

Fantasy baseball: Padres pitcher Dinelson Lamet primed for breakout

Fantasy owners are always searching for that unexpected success story for their rotation, the next breakout pitcher. It can be a highly touted youngster with a world of potential who finally puts it all together or a veteran who finds that magical pitch to suddenly give his career new life.

In 2018, Tampa Bay’s Blake Snell lived up to his hype, had a breakthrough campaign (21-5, 1.89 ERA, 221 strikeouts) and won the Cy Young award. Last year, St. Louis’ Jack Flaherty won a career-high 11 games, finished sixth in the NL in strikeouts (231) and was tied with Jacob deGrom for the lowest WHIP (0.97) during his breakout campaign. He also limited opponents to a .192 average, third-best in the majors behind Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole.

So, who looks like a candidate to be this year’s breakout pitcher? How about San Diego’s Dinelson Lamet, who has pitched just 187 ¹/₃ innings (35 starts) in the majors while going 10-13 with a 4.37 ERA?

On the surface, Lamet’s numbers are nothing that will have fantasy owners screaming, “I need Dinelson Lamet!” But, the same could have been said about Snell after his first 43 starts (11-15, 3.83 ERA, 217 strikeouts) or Flaherty after his first 34 big league appearances (8-11, 3.71, 202 strikeouts). Dig a little deeper on Lamet and you’ll find a pitcher who has the stuff to become a key cog in your rotation.

After undergoing Tommy John surgery and missing all of 2018, Lamet returned to make 14 starts in 2019. He finished with an uninspiring 3-5 record and 4.07 ERA, but those numbers don’t begin to tell the story of the 27-year-old.

Though just four of his starts lasted longer than five innings, Lamet allowed three earned runs or fewer in 11 of his starts. He recorded double-digit strikeouts four times, including a 14-strikeout outing.

Dinelson LametAP

In 11 starts from July 18-Sept. 18, Lamet lowered his ERA from 6.30 to 3.84 by going 3-3 with a 3.41 ERA and 81 strikeouts over just 58 innings. He held opponents to a .221 average in that span. He also finished the season with a 3.91 FIP and 3.44 xFIP, indicating he got unlucky.

Lamet’s 12.95 strikeouts per nine over his 14 starts ranked third among starters who threw at least 70 innings, finishing behind Cole and Chris Sale. His 33.6 percent strikeout rate ranked sixth, ahead of Lucas Giolito and deGrom. He also held opponents to a .223 average, which ranked in the top 25, and a 14.1 percent swinging strike rate, which was in the top 15 (ahead of Flaherty, Stephen Strasburg and Charlie Morton).

Despite throwing a 96 mph fastball (a slight uptick from before his surgery), it’s his slider that is the real troublemaker for opponents. Of his 105 strikeout victims last year, 77 met their demise via the slider. Opponents also hit a pitiful .116 against the pitch. For his career, batters are hitting .129 against the pitch and have struck out 162 times, which accounts for 66 percent of his 244 career strikeouts.

Lamet’s walk rate remained far too high (3.7 per nine innings), but it was lower than his career average (4.04 per nine). If he can continue to bring that number down, while keeping balls in the park (his 19.7 HR/FB rate ranked 25th highest in the majors), and maintaining his strikeout and swinging strike rates, he will be fantasy gold.

More great news about Lamet: He’s a reasonable investment with his 129.33 average draft position or $15 auction price, according to Fantasy Alarm.

Do not think about Lamet’s Tommy John surgery. He’s healthy. Don’t think about the fact he is on a team that has finished dead-last in the NL West in three of the past four years and haven’t had a winning record since 2010. That doesn’t matter in fantasy. All that matters is his production, and he is a young arm with tons of upside who you’ll be glad to have on your side.

The 27-year-old Padre is being drafted between two other potential breakout candidates in Arizona’s Zac Gallen (128.76, $10) and Oakland’s Jesus Luzardo (132.20, $10).

In 15 starts with the Marlins and Diamonbacks, Gallen was 3-6 with a 2.81 ERA, 10.8 strikeouts per nine and a 12.8 swinging strike rate. He was a stud over four seasons in the minors — going 27-18 with a 2.87 ERA, including going 9-1 with a 1.77 ERA before being called up to the Marlins last year.

Luzardo has thrown 12 innings in the majors, all out of the bullpen. He struck out 16 (34.8 percent of the batters he faced), had a 0.67 WHIP and a 14.6 percent swinging strike rate. In the minors, he was 14-7 with a 2.64 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 10.8 strikeouts per nine and just 2.0 walks per nine.

Other potential breakout candidates include Houston’s Jose Urquidy (227.39, $5), Cleveland’s Zach Plesac (336.8, $1) and 31-year-old Kenta Maeda (183.53, $9), who will not be tossed between the rotation and bullpen in Minnesota.

Giants top Rockies to end 11-game losing streak

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — An 11-game losing streak wore on the San Francisco Giants, who had chances in many of those games and wound up on the wrong end.

Chris Stratton’s first career shutout couldn’t have come at a more opportune time to get his club out of a deep, weeks-long funk.

Stratton pitched a two-hitter, Austin Slater backed him with a two-run single, and San Francisco snapped its longest skid since 1951 by beating the Colorado Rockies 2-0 on Friday night.

“We’re trying to get wins. We’re not giving up,” Stratton said. “It’s just kind of been a tough little go right now but we’re doing all we can to win games.”

The NL West-leading Rockies had their division lead trimmed to a half-game over the Los Angeles Dodgers, who won at St. Louis. Colorado had its seven-game winning streak against San Francisco snapped.

Stratton (10-9) struck out seven and walked two, throwing 114 pitches to finish the 2-hour, 20-minute game. He allowed only one baserunner to reach second with Trevor Story getting there in the second.

“We just couldn’t seem to square it up consistently,” Rockies manager Bud Black said.

The right-hander has a career high in victories and became the Giants’ first pitcher with double-digit wins since 2016 when Johnny Cueto, Madison Bumgarner and Jeff Samardzija got there. Those three star pitchers have dealt with injuries this season.

Stratton, who worked with former Giants righty Ryan Vogelsong when sent back down to Triple-A Sacramento and will be a contender for the rotation in 2019, retired nine straight during one stretch then his final 12 batters. He pitched the first Giants’ shutout since Samardzija on Aug. 28, 2017, against San Diego.

While ending the longest skid of Bruce Bochy’s managerial career — he had a nine-game losing streak with San Diego in 2003 — the Giants earned their first victory this month.

“It’s great get off the schneid. I’m not going to lie, it wears on you, it does,” Bochy said. “It was one of those streaks, it’s hard to believe we were in the streak, to be honest, because we were in so many games.”

The Giants ended their worst winless stretch since moving to San Francisco. They avoided what would have been just the fourth losing streak of 12 or more games in franchise history since 1883. They did so in 1944 with a 13-game skid and also in 1902 and 1900 — all of them while playing in New York.

Tyler Anderson (6-9) hasn’t won in 12 starts since beating the Giants on July 4, going 0-6 during that span with Colorado posting a 2-10 record during his outings.

Anderson’s wild pitch in the second put runners on second and third before Slater’s single. Anderson then struck out the side in order the next inning.

“If I don’t throw a wild pitch there, we might still be playing,” he said. “I might throw a double-play ball and we could still be going. But overall, in general, better.”

He allowed two runs on seven hits in six innings, struck out six and didn’t walk a batter.

“Tyler threw the ball much better,” Black said. “I think you saw the command.”

GIANTS MOVE

San Francisco dismissed seventh-year strength and conditioning coach Carl Kochan in what could be the beginning of a series of moves as another losing season winds down.

TRAINER’S ROOM

Giants: 1B Brandon Belt exited in the top of the seventh and said afterward his tender right knee “just got worse.” He said he might need more days off, and Bochy agreed it could be necessary. “I’m concerned there,” Bochy said. “We’ve got to be smart about this and see where he’s at. You get caught in a diminishing return area, where you’re starting a guy then he has to come out of the game.” Belt felt considerable discomfort all day and said it won’t be right until he undergoes an offseason arthroscopic “cleanup” procedure — something he also did after the 2015 season. ... SS Brandon Crawford is encouraged his sore left knee has made progress the past four or five days. “Hopefully finish strong,” he said. ... 3B Pablo Sandoval, recovering from right hamstring surgery, is happy to be back around the team. He’s doing cardio work in his rehab for now, not yet able to lift weights yet. “I feel great,” he said. Sandoval hopes to be fully ready by spring training.

UP NEXT

Rockies: RHP German Marquez (12-9, 3.94 ERA) is on a run of nine straight quality starts, Colorado’s longest streak since Ubaldo Jimenez had a franchise-best 14 straight in 2010.

Giants: LHP Bumgarner (5-6, 3.30) hasn’t allowed a run in his past 14 innings at home dating to Aug. 7.

Chris Stratton‘s first career shutout couldn’t have come at a more opportune time to get his club out of a deep, weeks-long funk. Stratton pitched a two-hitter, Austin Slater backed him with a two-run single, and San Francisco snapped its longest skid since 1951 by beating the Colorado Rockies 2-0 on Friday night.
