Mark Melancon wasn’t bad this year

STAT LINE: 41 G, 39 IP, 31 K, 14 BB, 3.23 ERA, 3.39 FIP

His ERA was 3.23 (121 ERA+) and his FIP was 3.39. Those aren’t great numbers, but they do generally make him a good reliever to have on a baseball team. The Giants, like any team, could always use more good relievers. Hooray for good relievers! Hooray for Mark Melancon!

Right?

Hello?

You’re all glaring at me, aren’t you? I can feel it through the screen.

In 2018, Melancon was better than in 2017, but he still didn’t live up to the fanbase’s expectations.
