However, all of his offspeed offerings (slider, curveball, changeup) have a sub-.265 wOBA as well as a 33.8%+ whiff rate.Īs you can see, Gomber is getting away from that bad fastball. Over those ensuing eight starts, Gomber has a 2.58 ERA, 0.90 WHIP, 9.5 K/9, and 0.8 BB/9. Do you recall his 1.2 IP, 9 ER debacle against the Giants earlier this season? Well, since then, Gomber has been on a tear. I am pushing a Rockies starter begrudgingly into the top-60. With that in mind, please help me pay for my therapy this week. I don’t expect him to climb nearly as high as his teammate Kevin Gausman has, but he’s going to be a useful fantasy starter with the increased slider usage.Īustin Gomber, COL (+10) – It’s very hard for me to dismiss the Coors Field factor with Rockies pitchers.

The velocity was also up a full tick, to 88.5 MPH. He went to the slider 40% of the time in his latest start, a two-hit shutout of the Nationals. DeSclafani has had great success in his new Giants uniform, with a 3.09 ERA, 7.85 K/9, and 2.50 BB/9 through 75.2 IP. The Starting Pitcher Barometer The RisersĪnthony DeSclafani, SF (+4) – It’s just a marginal bump for Tony Disco on the list, but he deserves to be talked about. What?! Your league is not using Fantrax? Inconceivable! Check out everything Fantrax has to offer and I’m sure you’ll come around to our way of thinking. Also, I hereby posit that any Cobb starts of three innings or less be considered a Cob Quicky. He drops a bit on the list after yielding five runs in back-to-back starts, but I think better days are ahead.

Through nine starts, Alex Cobb has a 2.53 FIP…but a 4.98 ERA.He’s very interesting, and he’ll debut in my starting pitcher rankings whenever he carves out a starting role with San Francisco (as early as this week). He earned a 35% CSW on the night, including a 42 CSW on his 93 MPH four-seam. He put up a 4 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 K line against the Rangers. Sammy Long debuted for the Giants in relief this week.Whatever we thought his reworked slider might do for him back in March, it’s not happening. It has shown in the results, with 14 earned runs over 6.2 innings last week. He mentioned that he feels like he can’t finish his pitches with the issue. He has been dealing with the nail issue since June 2nd. Everyone’s favorite handlebar mustachioed starter Randy Dobnak pitched with a fake fingernail this week.

Tony Gonsolin came back as expected…and walked five guys in 1.2 innings before being removed.

If not, I’d be happy riding this train all the way to the station. I’d consider a sell-high if the price is right. I do expect homers to remain an issue for him (2.05 HR/9), though. He put up a 23:3 K:BB ratio this past week as his slider velocity registered a hefty 89.7 MPH on average in his latest start.

He doesn’t make The Risers because I just wrote him up recently, but Robbie Ray and his too-tight pants continue to roll.

Curse you and your lifeless eyes, Rob Manfred! Black eyes, like a doll’s eyes! Whether you think the substance ban is going to be better for the game or not, our fantasy pitching boat is going to take on some water. Even our aces aren’t safe in these murky waters. Most notably (of course) Trevor Bauer has seen a steep decline in spin, and most recently, Shane Bieber.

So why pay $4.We finally got a break from the string of injuries decimating our starting pitcher rankings! Just when we thought it was safe to go back in the water, though…the spin rates crash! Following the announcement that MLB is going to really crack down on pitchers using sticky substances, many starters’ spin rates have mysteriously seen a sharp decline. And if you’re not keen on some of the toppings, this is completely customizable to your personal preferences. It’s practically foolproof! Just simply throw it in the oven, roast it for about 45 min-1 hour in their husks, and then slather on that butter before sprinkling on the rest of the toppings. The best part about this is that it is unbelievably easy to make. So I just knew I had to share my favorite homemade version that costs way less and tastes a million times better! But then they ask you pay $4.50…for a single corn on the cob – something that costs $0.33 cent uncooked at the grocery store. We stand in the long line just thinking about which toppings to slather on that piping hot corn as it drips with melted butter. It’s the one thing I really look forward to when we go to the local farmer’s market. This is the best way to serve corn on the cob, brushed with melted butter and sprinkled with chili powder, cotija cheese and lime juice!
