The Fave 5: Leonard the Pirate

*****The Fave 5 this week is grotesque and unwatchable to most people. You have been warned!*****

5. The Platinum ElBro

Mike Perry lost his last fight to Lafayette’s Alan Jouban, but the knockout artist returned to his winning ways with this devastating elbow to Jake Ellenberger’s head.

4. Long Relievers

The Indians may have began the “long relief revolution” last postseason, but the Astros appear to be on the cutting edge. We all know about Chris Devenski and how reliable he has been this season and in his rookie year last year, but you can also throw Brad Peacock in there. Peacock has begun his 2017 season by mowing down 29 of 30 batters so far. Who needs 4th and 5th starters when a couple guys in your bullpen can eat as many innings as you need them to!?

3. Nene

Nene didn’t miss a shot in game 4 versus OKC. He made the game clinching layup and the free throw. Why OKC didn’t tackle him, I do not know. What I do know is that this cancer survivor is one of the only good things I will ever acknowledge about the Rockets. They’re going to round 2, but remember, their coach IS still Mike D’Antoni.

2. Cajuns Winning Streak

With a sweep of Little Rock over the weekend, Cajuns Baseball has now won eight games in a row. They have not lost since the Wally Pontiff Classic. This streak includes two Sun Belt series sweeps and wins over Tulane and Southeastern. Anyone calling for a pressing of the panic button a week ago looks like a real nincompoop right now.

1. Leonard Fournette

He was dressed like Captain Jack Sparrow Saturday night at Tiger Stadium, but when jokingly asked if he was starring in the new Pirates of the Caribbean by the sideline reporter, LF7 had no clue what the reporter was talking about. Fournette wore that huge bandanna on his head, not because he wanted to look like Jack Sparrow, but because he has the swag of Jack Sparrow. He was completely oblivious to the reporter’s reference! He just thought the bandanna looked cool (and it did). Leonard Fournette is a treasure and we can only hope he swash buckles his way into the NFL by swinging onto the stage from a chandelier Thursday night at the Draft.
