Daily Notes Wednesday July 22
Fantasy Baseball Notes
PIT 3 @ NYY 5
PIT 0 @ NYY 2
Max Fried is back 5 IP 0 ER 7 Ks
Gerrit Cole allowed 3 ER over 7 IP striking out 11 (ND)
Bubba Chandler and Keller went 11.1 IP scoreless w/ 11 Ks. This is not the all clear for either, protect your WHIP
Soto pitched a clean ninth for the save
Jacob Gonzalez hit a homer and appears big side platoon, PIT has faced ⅘ LHP
Will Warren pitched in relief but should start this weekend. Likely heads to the pen when Rodon comes back
BAL 3@ BOS 6
BAL 5 @ BOS 1
Bennett scattered 9 hits over 5.2, w/ 4 K and won. He was hit harder in this one though 1 ER came on a ball lost in the sun
Bradish ended the Sox streak with 6 IP - ER - 4 K (last 30 days 2.96 ERA .863 WHIP)
Encarnacion-Strand homered for the 2nd time in the series and started both games of the DH
Bello pitched 5.1 scoreless after an opener with 5 K. Back to the pen once Suarez is activated
Deep League Watch
Yoshida
CES
Seigler
SF 4 @ KC 5
Lugo went 7 IP - 3 H - 3 ER - 2 BB - 5 K for the win -Risky Streamer
Roupp struck out 7 over 6 IP allowing 2 ER - Weekly starter
Vinnie P - 4 Hard Hit balls turned into a ¼ 2B
Salvy Perez went deep but I think he’s cooked
Steven Cruz picked up the Save with Lange unavailable
Erik Miller pitched the 8th for SF. Killian doesn’t belong in the closer role. Spec add Miller
NYM 3 @ MIL 4
Logan Henderson dealt over 5 IP - 2 ER with 9 K (W)
It was a struggle for Christian Scott, needing 89 pitches to go 3.2. With the Mets out of it, I think they will protect Scott’s innings
Joey Ortiz continues to hit. 3 hits in this one (.320 - 4 HR -13 RBI - 3 SB last 30 days)
Watch List
Vaughn
Ortiz
Semian
Baty
WSH 8 @ COL 0
Cavalli was unafraid of Coors. 6 shutout IP with 8 K - turning into a dude
CJ Abrams had 4 hits and a SB. How do you trade him?
Luis Garcia hit HR number 21. What a year
A’s 5 @ AZ 15
Gage Jump 20 ER the last 21.2 IP. Like the stuff but still needs to learn to pitch at this level
Waldschmidt HR #1
Tawa ⅖ 2 RBI
Notable Locklear sat vs a LHP
CIN 5 @ SEA 3
Brady Singer has an ERA under 3.00 since June 1
Hancock went 6 IP- 2 ER- 3 K and left with the lead
Sal Stewart 3r HR (21)
Pagan save #9
Mariners need Donovan back (stash)
STL 1 @ LAA 0
Hunter Dobbins outdueled Detmers.
Dobbins will be part of a 6 man rotation going forward and makes for a deep league add.
Wetherholt popped a HR (15) off Detmers for the only run of the game
MIN 10 @ CLE 6
Jose Ramirez went ⅖ with 2 RBI in his return
Brooks Lee hit HR #15 and had 4 RBI
Larnach stays hot going 2/4 with HR #8. Trade value UP
Rocchio hit 4th with the return of Ramirez
I think Royce Lewis is a drop in all leagues. Constantly diving forward in his swing creating bad angles
LAD 9 @ PHI 5
Edman stays hot with 3 hits
Nola proves xERA isn’t actionable just a starting point (5 ER over 5.1 IP)
Rushing HR #11. Will Smith not progressing
Can Bryan De La Cruz be the RH bat PHI needs?
TB 4 @ TOR 2
Jax 6 IP - 1 ER - 5 K; nice bounceback start for the win
Victor Mesa Jr had 2 hits and continues to get most the playing time against RHP
Baker save #26 ; What an add huh?
SD 6 @ ATL 7
Jackson Merrill now has 6 HR in July hitting .278. Buy low opportunity closing fast
Jim Jarvis had 2 more hits. I’m intrigued. He’s been a light hitting MI his whole career but a swing change has him driving the ball (6 xbh in 47 AB). Braves have said they want to give him a chance
Martin Perez went 4 IP scoreless but was inefficient (4 BB)
CWS 4 @ TEX 2
Kay remains a solid stream option (5 IP- 2 ER- 4 K - W)
Meidroth had 4 hits batting 6th. Remains a source for AVG in 12 -15 ™ leagues
Hudson grabbed the save with Taylor pitching the 8th
DET 5 @ CHC 1
Keider Montero dealt again (5.1 IP- ER - 8 K)
Torkelson had 3 runs including a HR (19)
Colin Rea remains fringy streamer in 15 team leagues 4 ER over 5 IP. About what you’d expect
MIA 2 @ HOU 5
Lambert went 6 IP scatter 8 baserunners with 3 K (ND)
Alcantara gave up 3 in the 8th to ruin a very good start
Yordan and Jeremy Pena combine for 5 hits and 2 HR
Esteury Ruiz got the start in CF against a RHP; stole 2 bases
