MLB Daily Notes - September 17th
A daily automated report of what happened yesterday in Major League Baseball, along with other recent trends and further analysis.
Reid Detmers laid the trappiest trap of all time. What a wild development. He fooled me, for sure. The guy was the top pitcher in my projection model last night. He was fresh off two strong starts and set up perfectly against the White Sox. And then he dropped seven earned runs on the suckers who picked him up.
5.1 IP, 7 H, 7 R, 6 K, 3 BB, 11% SwStr%, 46% Strike%
The command wasn’t there with the three walks. And he gave up three homers to Andrew Benintendi, Andrew Vaughn, and Lenyn Sosa. That is not a trio you want to see hitting dingers off of you. Here are those pitch locations:
The fastball just wasn’t landing in good spots.
Brutal stuff if you used him in your playoff match. I’d apologize, but I don’t really think it was wrong. If Detmers faced the White Sox again this weekend, I’d start him.
I have him in the reader league, but I didn’t make the finals there so it doesn’t matter. That final matchup is between Matt Heaps and Jason Ausborn. Congnrats to those two for making it. I would tell you who I’m rooting for, but I’m not rooting for anybody, because I don’t know either person! But “Jason Ausborn” looks a little bit like “Jon Anderson”, so I’ll pick him.
Shota Imanaga pleased me well in my home league semifinal with a big 11-strikeout performance against the Athletics.
6 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 11 K, 3 BB, 22.2% SwStr%
He gave up a dinger to Brent Rooker, as was predicted in the slate preview yesterday, but that’s fine. He did what he needed to do, and I’m off to a good start in pitching.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto lasted only four innings.
72 pitches, 4 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 3 K, 2 BB, 13.9% SwStr%, 41.7% Ball%
He did not have the normal command.
He has thrown 59 and 72 pitches now since returning. I doubt he gets to 90 in his next outing, so he’ll have to be really efficient to get you into the quality start territory if that’s the type of league you play. I’m not sure how many leagues use QS these days. Probably not many, but my home league does so I’m always thinking about it.
Paul Skenes threw 102 pitches. The Pirates were limiting him for a minute there, but these last three outings, he’s had full pitch counts. That doesn’t make a lot of sense, Pirates!
And last note - Yu Darvish threw 79 pitches and was very efficient.
6 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 3 K, 2 BB
But he wasn’t dominant under the hood with a 8.9% SwStr% and 44.3% Strike%. Good to see him back and having success again.
And that is all the time I have for today, more coming tomorrow. Check out Starts & Sits for pitcher streaming advice.
