We are scheduled for a 10-game slate, however, I think that will be 9 with rain forecasted all night in Philly. It’s a tough slate to gauge. Carlos Rodon and Chris Sale continue to work their way back off the IL, Rodon will be on a pitch count, Sale has hovered around 80 pitches in the last couple of starts. Aaron Nola is likely not an option because of the weather, leaving the rest of the starting pitcher pool fairly bare in terms of depth.

Saw Blake Snell had a no-hitter through seven innings, but with 107 pitches thrown and I was like, "He can't throw 90+ pitches so this will be quick," then I remembered he threw 122 pitches in his last start and 100+ pitches in four of his last five starts, and I began to imagine the unimaginable. *wavy lines* Hey, is this imaging the unimaginable? Cool! Whoa, it's a party in my honor with a very much alive Rowdy Roddy Piper? This is amazing. Wait, what are you doing? Don't smash me over the head with a coconut! *wavy lines* Imaging the unimaginable stinks and the unimaginable never happens! They pulled Snell at 107 pitches. Why when he just threw 122 pitches last time? I don't have the answer. I am the one asking the question. Blake Snell finished with 7 IP, 0 ER, zero hits, 2 walks, 10 Ks, ERA at 4.31. Snell ended the month of August with 1.72 ERA in six starts, and was his best month since 2018. If he did it last year, he would've won a Mickey Mouse Cy Young. But what about 2022, and why does it feel like Blake Snell is so unpredictable he's become Robbie Ray pre-2021? He can be wildly lights-out or just wild. Maybe Blake Snell can be 2021 Robbie Ray in 2022 as long as it doesn't mean Robbie Ray becomes pre-2021 in 2022. Why are they even connected? Again, I asked the question, that means I don't know the answer. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
