ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Dan Straily makes his MLB debut for Oakland tonight. Arguably the best minor league pitcher this year. This guy was a 24th RD pick who just exploded in the A's system. Had a 11.4 K/9 to go along with like a 2.3 BB/9 or something this season in AA and AAA, which includes dominating in the PCL.

SoxnGiants Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Kurt Suzuki acquired by Washington. Not having a great year but he should be an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 The Reds have snuck up and grabbed the best record in the bigs... Pretty good for a team I can't really name many players on besides Votto (who's been injured) and Chapman... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably. Straily's debut was 6 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 5 K, and in line to get a win in his MLB debut. Edited August 4, 2012 by JoeCoolMan24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tops out around 92. I think he has a big curveball. He is a massive strikeout pitcher. Already 181 Ks between minors and pros this year, leads the world.

I have been trying to add him in my ESPN league all week. Finally they added him last night, I tried putting him on my roster, and for SOME REASON they are making me wait through the waiver process to get him. So I got nothing for his start tonight, and IF I win the waiver claim, I won't get him until like Sunday. It's bulls***. EDIT: Oh great, and I am 14/14 on the waiver list. Cool. I doubt I'll get him now. Edited August 4, 2012 by JoeCoolMan24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 King Felix with a 2-hit shutout in the Bronx. If the Mariners maintain a 5-man rotation and don't skip anyone, the Sox will miss him later this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasox24 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Going to the Braves-Astros game tonight. I'm pretty excited to get to see Lucas Harrell pitch for the Astros because he was my first ever interview when I wrote for FutureSox. He was a great guy and a great interview. I've always been a fan since then. Really glad he has been able to find some success at the Major League level (even if he's on the worst team in baseball).

What they do is that they take the WAR winning percentage and the actual winning percentage and adjust them as the season goes on. As the season progresses, actual winning percentage makes up more and more of the total. That's how FanGraphs did it last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierzynski now has the most home runs of any catcher in the game, which nobody could have predicted before the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlliniKrush Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 On Brandon McCarthy's wiki page: Early life He graduated from Cheyenne Mountain High School in Colorado Springs, Colorado in 2001. McCarthy was playing baseball for Lamar Community College in Colorado when he was drafted in the 17th round of the 2002 Major League Baseball Draft by the Chicago White Sox. Now he is considered by popular baseball analysts as the "greatest" pitcher in baseball; edging probable Cy Young Award winners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
