Random stat I just noticed. Since the trade 1 1/2 years ago, Glasnow has pitched 152 innings with a 3.61 ERA for the Dodgers, Pepiot has pitched 212 innings with a 3.49 ERA for the Rays.

Both pitchers really wound up on the appropriate teams.

As Bauer informed us, the Dodgers were master chemists with the sticky icky and Glasnow loved his goop. In one sense Dodgers were once a match. The Bauer video was a classic period piece.

Ohtani 95mph fastball and really good off speed. I just don’t see him repeating his youthful Angels heroics. Friedman holds his breath on his $700m gamble

Freeman now has a quad issue. Aging sucks.

In another tale of two franchises, the Brewers are a rare team right now in that they have more quality starters than they have starts for. Nonetheless, they are calling up their top pitching prospect, Jacob Misiorowski, to pitch in the rotation. Aaron Civale getting bumped to the pen, despite having pitched well. The kid was no longer being challenged in AAA, thus its time.

Meanwhile, Pittsburgh continues to trot out retreads at the back of their rotation while Chandler wastes time in AAA

I’m on this tall 2 pitch flame thrower F5 +114 for the pure entertainment. I’m gonna ladder his walks 2+ -130 & 3+ +230 'cause you know. He may get yanked early so 3 is enough

I misremembered. 3+ +205

Edit.
Damn I got too much going on. Memory is slipping

I actually caught 3+ +240 a few hours ago. Then I added 3+ +205. It’s off the board now

This kid is gonna be so amped he might kill someone. I didn’t see a prop for that

I tailed all those for shits n giggles, and took a k prop as well

From the other thread, I got tricked into an o4.5 5 innings Yankees bet because both pitchers have struggled.

Except... I didn't see that Judge wasn't playing. He's played every game up until now, so I took it for granted.

In MLB I am basically aware of the injuries, and one player sitting and resting isn't a big deal like it can be in NBA or NFL, so I didn't bother looking at the lineups, and it cost me. Had I seen Judge was resting, I wouldn't have placed it.

Need 1 more k for 6...kid pitching a no hitter ..

God I hate these quants.

Hit everything besides the k's tho

I bet Skenes first 5 ML assuming they have to eventually score for him. Nope. Void bet. You can’t make this shit up. They won at least but I wouldn’t be surprised if he was cheering against them at this point.

Dodgers Yamamoto walks 3 men then gives up a grand slam to bring them all across home plate.

Maybe he’s hurt too.

Dave Roberts gonna ask Yoshi to take one for the team like Sauer.

This is going to sound weird, but I almost hope Yoshi gets hurt and sits for awhile.

I don't think he has the durability to go an entire season and still be sharp in the postseason. He was able to bear down and pitch (mostly) well in the 2024 postseason because he had his time to "rest" during his injury. He and Flaherty were basically the starting rotation. It's a miracle they won the World Series like this.

So the Dodgers ran out and got Snell and Sasaki so this won't happen again, and... well, it happened again. And Glasnow is of course injured. And Gonsolin now too, not that it really matters at this point.

The rotation now is Yamamoto/May/Kershaw. Seriously. They're kinda-sorta making Ben Casparius a starter.

On the bright side, maybe Kershaw will get one more chance to shake the Cardinals monkey off his back in the postseason.

Playoffs? You talkin Kershaw playoffs?

Let’s see if Kershaw wilts today under the mid season pressure of losing first place in the NL West for the Doyers.

Dodgers asking Yoshi to pitch every 6 days is a lot to ask of anyone’s ace. Yoshi definitely needs time off.

Molly Knight needs to do the definitive book on Dodgers pitching. Wait til the Ohtani results are clear, I guess. If that fails she will be #1 NY Times
