Yup, that’s Wood coming through once again. Alex Wood (SF) vs KC (W)- 6.0 IP, 2 ER, 4 Hits, 1 BBs, 5 Ks – 12 Whiffs, 34% CSW80 pitches. But the curveball had a 35% CSW! Yeah yeah yeah, whatever.
It can be really hard having a taste of honey and having to live the rest of your life without it. I know it’s a decent ERA but he went 10/30 slider whiffs last start and here it was…0/16. Mitch Keller (ITP) STL (ND) – 5.1 IP, 2 ER, 7 Hits, 1 BBs, 2 Ks – 6 Whiffs, 21% CSW97 pitches. Don’t worry about the WHIP, this is a great sign that you can hopefully continue against the White Sox on Sunday. And hey, 67% breaking ball strikes is all kinds of wonderful, too. Christian Xavier (HOU) (ND) – 6.0 IP, 2 ER, 5 Hits, 3 BBs, 7 Ks – 15 Whiffs, 31% CSW91 pitches.Īyyyy I did it! If you’re curious what Javier’s best four-seamer command looks like, here’s the plot from this game. Everything worked here and I’m just thrilled Nola could go two straight dominant starts instead of the ridiculous yo-yoing he’s been doing all year. Sandy would end with neither losing and both succeeding - because how they try to make me choose between them. Aaron Nola (PHI) vs MIA (ND) – 7.0 IP, 2 ER, 6 Hits, 0 BBs, 6 Ks – 16 Whiffs, 34% CSW107 pitches. That’s not the WHIP you want as his four-seamer command him was n’t as pristine as we’ve seen, but he still strolled through nearly eight frames against a dangerous Phillies offense. Sandy Alcantara (MINE) (ND) – 7.2 IP, 2 ER, 6 Hits, 3 BBs, 5 Ks – 13 Whiffs, 27% CSW113 pitches.Īces gonna ace. Next up is Coors and that always brings hesitation - I look to you to decide if you want to flip the coin on a Sunday. It’s good to see his four-seamer cooking at 41% CSW as the cutter held the fort, rarely turning to the slider.
Hey that’s a Gallows Polefor Darvish as he did exactly what he should do against the Cubs. Yu Darvish (SD) (W)- 8.0 IP, 1 ER, 5 Hits, 0 BBs, 7 Ks – 17 Whiffs, 32% CSW107 pitches. You’d be better off trying to steal a gaze at Justin. This was four-seamer-city with 70% usage and nothing else doing a whole lot and I’m glad it worked for him. Oh look, it’s Steele coming through in an outing. Justin Steele (CHC) vs SD (ND) – 7.0 IP, 1 ER, 6 Hits, 0 BBs, 3 Ks – 8 Whiffs, 27% CSW77 pitches. It’s the biggest knock against him and I’d draw another instead.
This is why you don’t roster Archer: He may hit the target ERA, but it’s not for very long. Chris Archer (MIN) BE (ND) – 4.0 IP, 0 ER, 4 Hits, 2 BBs, 3 Ks – 10 Whiffs, 30% CSW67 pitches. Interesting to see Manoah feature sinkers heavily inside the zone instead of jammed arm-side exclusively, but it worked tremendously well as the slider and four-seamer cleaned up. Let’s see how every other SP did Monday: Alek Manoah (TOR) vs BAL (W)- 6.0 IP, 0 ER, 1 Hits, 1 BBs, 7 Ks – 10 Whiffs, 34% CSW86 pitches.Īces gonna ace.
It may be a decent time to buy low if a manager wants to cash out now, if you’re up for it. Sure, Lynn had a poor time in his rehab start as well and the velocity is down, but I see this more as another rehab start than a “this is who he is.” Give him a start or two to get the velocity back and I’d be surprised if he’s still struggling in July. His heater was 1.4 ticks down from last year, he made a few mistakes down the middle of the plate, and he was overall walloped by the Tigers. We’ve waited a while for lance lynn to make his 2022 debut and it wasn’t quite what we were hoping for in Detroit as he went 4.1 IP, 3 ER, 10 Hits, 0 BBs, 4 Ks – 9 Whiffs, 24% CSW, 88 pitches. lance lynn (CWS) DET (ND) – 4.1 IP, 3 ER, 10 Hits, 0 BBs, 4 Ks – 9 Whiffs, 24% CSW88 pitches.
