He opened for 2 ER (4 R) across four frames of Taylor Hearn, who managed to fan seven in the process. Matt Bush (TEX) vs SEA (ND) – 1.0 IP, 0 ER, 1 Hits, 0 BBs, 0 Ks – 0 Whiffs, 23% CSW, 13 pitches. He sat 93(!) mph on the heater in this one and carried a 53% CSW on the changeup as we’re starting to believe he’s turned a corner. Alex Wood (SF) vs MIL (ND) – 4.2 IP, 0 ER, 4 Hits, 0 BBs, 7 Ks – 11 Whiffs, 33% CSW, 84 pitches.ĭespite the 0 ER on record, he allowed three unearned runs in the fifth, causing an early hook despite the lovely line otherwise. I do wonder if the injury risk is still higher for him than others down the stretch, but I may be overthinking that. I may be pushing Kershaw up a touch on Monday as he’s allowed 2 ER or fewer in nine of his last ten starts. He just had to allow that hit in the eighth, didn’t he.


Let’s applaud that this worked and acknowledge the pitchers who give us the chances for production without getting the hoopla of double-digit strikeout games or elite ratios.Ĭlayton Kershaw (LAD) LAA (W) – 8.0 IP, 0 ER, 1 Hits, 0 BBs, 6 Ks – 11 Whiffs, 33% CSW, 89 pitches.Īces gonna ace for the TATIAGA. Because, you know, baseball players and their money. He’s not changing anything he does, Gibson brings his arsenal to the table, spins the wheel, and goes home to sleep on silk sheets. It’s the dance of a man who can go six frames with a Win on a given night and I know many of you need to play it. I simply wanted to display how Gibson is a perfect example of a Toby. The man holds a 4.35 ERA and 1.20 WHIP on the year, recently dancing from a pair of starts returning 11 ER to just 1 ER in his last two. His slider and cutter were far from exceptional – just 15% CSW and 4/46 whiffs between them – his sinker found the edges and induced outs as it can, and there was nothing new to emphasize. There really isn’t a whole to say about Kyle Gibson, even after impressing with a 6.0 IP, 1 ER, 4 Hits, 1 BBs, 5 Ks – 7 Whiffs, 19% CSW, 96 pitches performance against the Marlins. Kyle Gibson (PHI) MIA (W) – 6.0 IP, 1 ER, 4 Hits, 1 BBs, 5 Ks – 7 Whiffs, 19% CSW, 96 pitches. Have questions? Ask me during my office hours on Twitch weekday mornings from 9 am-11 am ET.
