It's clear from the competing offers (a guy about to get TJS and a slap-hitting sub-100 ISO casualty of the dead ball) that my generous offer is as good as its going to get.
I just saw on Twitter that deGrom's k/9 is higher than his pitches per inning. He's also the only pitcher ever to give up 1 ER or fewer in his first 9 starts of the season.
If he stays healthy we might be witnessing the best pitching season of all-time.
Raisel Iglesias comes in with nobody out and the bases loaded in the 8th and preserves a 1-run lead by retiring all six batters he faced.
A bunch of teams missed the boat when LA acquired him for little more than salary relief. He'll be a valuable deadline chip.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a reliever with 5 walks and no strikeouts in a high leverage spot. This might be the first time it’s ever happened outside of empty pens in the 15th inning or something.
