Thanks for being patient today, I had a bunch of traveling to do and didn't get a chance to write. UNTIL NOW. And who better to lead off with than a depressing start from Aaron Sanchez who went 4.0 IP, 3 ER, 6 Hits, 5 BBs, 2 Ks. Blegh. It's not easy going against the Red Sox, but Sanchez is farther behind than I'd like him to be at this time - 0 Whiffs is outright terrible. I still think he can get there as he hasn't had the smoothest of seasons thus far, and I wonder how long we'll have to wait. I really thought his last performance against the Tigers was an indication of him getting back into this groove, but this is clearly a setback. I'd still like to make this bet, but I understand taking a different flier as the odds are clearly lower than I previously thought.
Let’s see how every other SP did yesterday:
Sanchez also had another blister flair up as well. Rough goings this year for the guy.
^^^insane the blister wasn’t mentioned!
Sounds like Nick was traveling so I think we can give him a pass, but just this once! ;)
In my rush to get out the article it passed me by! Thanks for pointing it out, won’t happen again I PROMISE
Never!! :)
Straily or Cahil ROS in a QS league?
Really close. If you need more strikeout upside, Cahil. Otherwise, Straily is the better bet for QS. I’d lean Cahil slightly.
I don’t know what to make of Berrios…limiting hard contact but swings and misses trending down….
Well, he didn’t have his curve-ball yesterday. I think that is a great start considering that his best pitch wasn’t there. He used a very successful two-seam fastball and even threw a few good changes. Maybe the curve comes and goes with Berrios… maybe has lost a bit of feel for his best pitch. He looks pretty legit.
We all know that you’re no fan of Meyer, but it seems as if the end of his write-up got cut off. And I’m going to go out on a limb here and wish the best for your sister on behalf of all of your loyal readers.
Thanks J.C.! You guys rock.
Interesting to see your reactions to Carrasco vs Gray when they basically had the same line. Not sure Carrasco isn’t slightly overrated in fantasy circles including here. At best he seems to be a more consistent version of “king of the very good” Cole. Rarely see dominant performances from him.
What do you think of Homer Bailey against the marlins today?
