Yesterday, Sean Manaea went 7 IP, 0 ER, 6 hits, zero walks, 10 Ks, ERA at 3.30. Additionally, 10 instances on this sport I screamed, “Why didn’t I stream him?!” Streamonator sorta likes his subsequent one, and provides me all of the Manaea streams. Please and mahalo! Know why? Let’s discuss current historical past. Final two begins for Sean Manaea 14 IP, 0 ER, eight hits, one stroll, 21 Ks. Elias Sports activities Bureau mentioned, “That’s cool, wanna see a useless physique?” What the hell is happening with that firm? Then Elias added, “Sean Manaea joins Tom Seaver and Dwight Gooden as the one pitchers in Mets historical past with 7+ IP, 10+ Okay and no runs allowed in consecutive begins.” That’s legit and nuts. The Mets aren’t precisely the Yanks with historical past, however they’ve had lots nice starters by the years. Solely three pitchers have ever thrown a 7-inning shutout with 10+ Ks in two straight begins? Am I going loopy or does that appear unattainable? Not is it unattainable that I’ve gone loopy. I’m asking–Ya know what? It doesn’t matter! Anyway, right here’s what else I noticed yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Jeff McNeil – 2-for-4, 2 runs and his tenth homer. He’s hitting near-.320 within the final month with 5 HRs. McNeil has earned his place amongst the Who’s Who Of “Yeah, He’s Been Good, I Guess”ers. Veritable litany of “Simply Higher Than A Shrug”ers.
Nick Martinez – 5 IP, 0 ER, 4 hits, zero walks, 5 Ks, ERA at 3.43. And I did stream this man. I’d stream principally anybody vs. the Marlins, White Sox or street Rockies.
Elly De La Cruz – 4-for-5, 3 runs, 3 RBIs and his nineteenth and twentieth homer. Wild on E! the Miami version!
Noelvi Marte – 1-for-5, 2 RBIs and his third homer, as he hits ninth, hitting .170. Simply barely received the ball over the Marlins’ outfielder (Placeholder Title). (Placeholder Title) did appear to even get a bit. Too dangerous, (Placeholder Title) is (normally/typically/by no means) a (horrible/nice) fielder.
Ty France – 3-for-5 and his ninth homer. France loves Miami. Mentioned in a really effete voice, “Hiya, Fontainebleau.”
Jesus Sanchez – 1-for-4, 2 RBIs and his thirteenth homer. Superior work, (Placeholder Title)! Marlins followers actually (despise/love/ambivalent) you!
David Festa – 5 IP, 0 ER, 4 baserunners, 9 Ks, ERA at 5.55. Guys don’t need to Anglo-up their names for me, however it’s a severe missed opp to not have him go by Dave Occasion. Any hoo! Dave Occasion has a promising subsequent begin through the Streamonator, and I see no purpose to not twirl Dave Occasion on the market. [blows noisemaker] Dave Occasion!
Andrew Heaney – 6 IP, 1 ER, 1 hit, 1 stroll, 4 Ks, ERA at 3.99. In case you’ve began Heaney at any level this season, you might have unbelievable bravery and/or marbles jingo-jangling in your head.
Alex Bregman – 1-for-5 and his fifteenth homer. Bregman is like clockwork if the clock’s fingers are pointing to ’22 homers on the 12 months’ and ‘.260 common.’
Hunter Brown – 6 IP, 1 ER, 5 baserunners, 4 Ks, ERA at 3.98. What’s kinda humorous is I wouldn’t go anyplace close to Heaney, however Brown is attention-grabbing to me. Mainly identical ERA. Guess because the sage, knowledge of Nice White mentioned, as soon as bitten, twice shy. Additionally, in equity, Brown’s turning frowns the wrong way up since Might when he turned his season round. 3.42, 1.16, 3.53 are his earlier three months’ ERAs.
Corey Seager – 1-for-4 and his twenty third homer, and 2nd homer in two video games, and 4th homer within the 4 video games. Depart Dale Lengthy’s Ghost alone, there was an off day there, then two homers 4 video games in the past. I gotta specify as a result of I do know we have now some crypt keepers studying.
Josh H. Smith – 1-for-5, 2 RBIs and his twelfth homer, hitting .278, as he hits leadoff and performs left now that Josh Jung (1-for-3) has returned. I do know what they’re doing and I recognize it. See, when the Rangers bat round in an inning they’ll say they’re Joshing round.
Freddie Freeman – 1-for-4 as he returned from being together with his spouse and sick baby, who fortunately is on the mend. Watched Freddie get choked up speaking about his boy Max and the way he’s doing higher, and I felt like once I was at Benihana and the chef simply made the onion volcano and it was capturing its steam proper at me.
Teoscar Hernandez – 1-for-4,2 RBIs and his twenty fourth homer. …and the Teoscar goes to…Teoscar! (Appears kinda mounted, to be sincere.)
Aaron Nola – 6 IP, 4 ER, 8 hits, zero walks, 4 Ks, ERA at 3.54 vs. Tyler Glasnow – 6 IP, 3 ER, 5 hits, zero walks, 9 Ks, ERA at 3.54. Elias Sports activities Bureau mentioned this it the primary time two starters ended the sport with the identical ERA since, “God is aware of.” Elias’s requirements have actually fallen.
Brady Singer – 5 2/3 IP, 4 ER, 11 baserunners, 6 Ks, ERA at 3.03. Tied his house owners to the WHIPping submit, however, if being sincere, I can’t imagine we received to August earlier than his ERA went above 3. An absolute win for those who spent a ton on FAAB that first week of the season.
Vinnie Pasquantino – 1-for-4 and his sixteenth homer, 2nd homer in three video games, and 5 homers within the final week. Vinnie doing all of it for the gnocchi!
James Paxton – 6 IP, 2 ER, 6 baserunners, 4 Ks, ERA at 4.42. Okay-Pax is bax! (No, he’s not, but it surely’s catchier than James is much less lames!)
Tyler Fitzgerald – 2-for-4 and his twelfth homer, as he hit leadoff, hitting .314. Not being good till July ninth would make for an attention-grabbing NL ROY case. Severely, Fitzgerald exhibits you that at any second you’ll be able to step in crap and discover somebody to assist your crew. Don’t defecate in your workplace when you’re scrolling by waivers, it’s not what I meant.
Matt Chapman – 1-for-4, 3 RBIs and his 18th homer, and third homer in three video games. Welp, Chapman’s on an April-like heater in August.
Zac Gallen – 7 IP, 5 ER, ERA at 3.75 vs. Logan Allen – 5 IP, 2 ER, 7 baserunners, 2 Ks, ERA at 5.56. This matchup was billed as “G/Allen. Punk Rock!”
Ryan Thompson – 1 IP, 1 ER, ERA at 2.30, as he blew one other save. As I point out on this week’s podcast, it seems like what’s going to occur in Arizona’s pen is we get to Friday and so they’re similar to, “Ya know what? Simply foolin’! Sewald is our nearer! All a joke! Gotcha!” Although, Justin Martinez (1 IP, 0 ER, ERA at 2.01) did get the save within the tenth inning, and there’s no purpose why he can’t save video games. (It issues as a result of the DBags’ nearer ought to get a whole lot of saves.)
Joc Pederson – 1-for-1, 2 RBIs and his 18th homer, and third homer in 4 video games, however yesterday’s homer was a pinch-hit jobber which is the issue with him. He platoons like Charlie Sheen in Platoon.
Ketel Marte – 1-for-4 and his twenty eighth homer. Ketel’s gonna eff round and discover 35 homers.
Gabriel Moreno – Hit his fifth homer then left the sport with a strained groin. Rattling, wait till you get house to have a good time.
JP Sears – 7 IP, 1 ER, 4 baserunners, 5 Ks, ERA at 4.35. Sung a’la I Shot The Sheriff, “He received the Sux and the Sux suck.”
Ky Bush – 4 IP, 3 ER, as he made his MLB debut for the Shite Sux. [carving a golden God, dipping it in roast beef drippings because it’s Chicago, holding it up to the light to see the shine] Ky Bush, you’re the reply to each White Sox fan’s hopes and goals to finish this dropping streak that has reached–Welp, Ky Bush wasn’t the reply. Make it 21 straight losses! Longest dropping streak since 1988. The Berlin Wall was nonetheless up, Die Exhausting was in theaters and La Russa was about to curse a completely totally different franchise than the White Sox, the identical crew that beat the White Sox final evening. Test me out, I’m an everyday ol’ Jayson Stark.
