It is football Sunday, and your boy even bought a Steelers jersey this week. I’ve never been a jersey guy, and I haven’t even really been a huge Steelers fan since I was a kid, but now that I’m a few years removed from Pittsburgh, it’s all coming back. I could never wear the jerseys or really root for the team that everybody else around me was rooting for, that’s just not in my nature - but now I’m in like a weird Bears/Colts/Packers territory out here so I’m getting back to my roots. Kenny Pickett jersey, by the way.
But it’s prime fantasy baseball time as well. It’s looking like I’ll finish with the #1 seed in the home league and play COLIN who you have never heard of. It’ll be his first playoff appearance in quite a long time, and he’s definitely the worst of the 4 playoff teams. And that’s really saying something because he has Acuna, Betts, and Judge. The problem is that there’s not much else going on on that team - so I would say I’m a solid favorite in that one. Much more to come on that in the coming days whether or you like it or not.
Pitchers - Yesterday
Nathan Eovaldi had it going yesterday in a short outing
47 pitches, 23.4% SwStr%, 44.7% Strike%, 3:2 K:BB
Okay so that’s not all that good, but 11 whiffs and the velocity was up a little bit from his recent outings. He could still find some fantasy relevance this year, but we’re running out of time.
Tarik Skubal was once again fantastic and continues to be one of the most underrated arms in the game.
Seth Lugo has put us on a bumpy ride of late.
The SwStr% has been really down, it’s been four straight starts without a mark above average there. If you have him, you’re probably just starting him - but he’s not quite the very good pitcher we might have thought after he returned from his injuries.
Lots more stuff happened to but I don’t have the time to get into it, I want to go for a run before church! Talk to you later!
