MLB Daily Notes - September 7th
A daily automated report of what happened yesterday in Major League Baseball, along with other recent trends and further analysis.
I am going golfing today. Before I had kids, I’d play golf with my buddies somewhat often back in Pittsburgh. And then, when I moved out here to Indiana, I’d still play a little bit with my father-in-law. But then I realized that I don’t like golf, so I quit. Now, I play just once a year every September for this charity event.
It’s a four-man scramble, and we lose pretty miserably every year. What’s going to happen is that I will pipe my first drive down the center and then probably hit a decent approach shot as well. My team will be feeling really good about me. But by hole 12, my body will have stopped obeying my brain and then my brain will completely stop caring at all about it. I will just want to go home. And my team will be upset with me. I will not make a putt the entire day.
I have to leave for that in like ten minutes, so I don’t have time to write baseball stuff. Some quick hits:
Sean Manaea had another good start. I suppose he truly is a better pitcher this year.
Dean Kremer dominated the Rays.
Luis Gil returned from the IL and was excellent (16.9% SwStr%, one hit in six innings).
Max Fried threw seven shutout innings.
Some guy named Austin Kitchen started a game for the Marlins.
Off I go!
