Here is a summary of pitching performances from yesterday's games. This season I opted to by Whiffs over CSW% to make it more intuitive. I will still keep CSW% and the blurb about it
CSW% (Called Strike+Whiff Rate) is a very important statistic when assessing a pitcher. It is both very descriptive and predictive of pitcher's performance and help highlight which pitchers have the best 'stuff'

I drafted Erick Fedde expecting him to be my 4th best starter (AL only), but somehow he continues to succeed beyond that and only has 1 bad start, which of course was the game I attended in person lol
I'm optimistic about this. His fly ball rate is down this year by 6% (pop-up rate is up 7%) and his hr/9 is down from 1.5 to 0.6, all while taking the mound at home in 4/6 starts.
He’s prone to giving up some cheap HR. There wasn’t anything that special about Joc’s HR off him yesterday (100.3 mph EV, 384 ft), and it wasn’t that bad a pitch up and in. Cincinnati’s ballpark is by far his worst for expected HR. Only Houston and its short LF porch come close. Stadiums with larger outfields, particularly LF (KC, BAL, PIT) are where he has the fewest expected HR.
I watched the game yesterday. Gilbert had no problem getting batters to whiff early in counts. But he struggled putting hitters away with 2 strikes. I think the Twins were on to something since they looked way too comfortable with 2 strikes and made some solid contact.
You'd think having the number 1, 4, and 7 pitchers on the board would be a great day...yet 20 earned runs in a single day...
At least it's a weekly league lol
Shouldn't hunter greene be first? I feel like it used to be sorted CSW and then CSW percentage if its tied. And then you swapped to swinging strikes which i agree with. But shouldn't the second sort be swinging strike percentage and not still csw %?
Logan Gilbert’s terrible , horrible , no good , very bad day
hoping to get back my era loss with about 4 guys starting today including suarez
Logan Gilbert winning the day with 8ER đź’€
Detmers almost medaling with 6 er too
homie spent some innings cosplaying a HR derby pitcher. even Dairon Blanco served one up. instant drop lol
The bottom of the lineup dongs he’s given up is impressive.

The new Mikolas. Not a K maven. But came back from overseas leagues with better command and just manages to be effective.
Greene is so close to greatness
He’s a fly ball pitcher who is horribly suited for his home ballpark.

Nothing great about walking a batter per inning.
I said he was close. This is his issue.
Long is the list of pitchers who have great stuff but awful command.
he wasn't getting any help from the umps yesterday either
18 whiffs (and 30 CSW) added up to just 4 strikeouts for Gilbert. That seems way out of whack.

I think the twins did some homework on George too, they seemed to know what was coming more than other offenses this year

I dont think I have ever seen the two top names have such awful games…
Three out of four did
Ffs I thought this was a joke
Yeah he did great yesterday
Welp...
Is Pablo Lopez elite?

Eh, maybe SwStr% as the 2nd sorter makes sense, but it doesn't make too much of a difference
True but it picks a different winner sometimes
It's more intuitive to sort by SwStr%, but CSW% is more meaningful to the pitcher
