MLB Daily Notes - August 25th
A daily automated report of what happened yesterday in Major League Baseball, along with other recent trends and further analysis.
By some miracle, all of the kids slept until 7:45 - so my morning is much shorter than usual. It’s already time to get moving for church, so no time for writing.
But it was a pretty interesting pitching day. 21 whiffs for Pablo Lopez, another wild start from Sonny Gray (18 whiffs, 18.2% SwStr%, but five more earned runs), six walks from Blake Snell, an 8:4 K:BB from Joe Boyle, Will Warren getting rocked by Colorado, Bowden Francis almost going for a no-hitter, and George Kirby sucking again.
Here are some of those marks:
Lots of interesting stuff to dissect, but no time to do it! I haven’t been paywalling any of the automated section of the notes lately, and that might just continue until the end of the season. So you an see a lot of good stuff below.
Have an enjoyable Sunday.
