Hello friends! Even though we’re still two and a half weeks away from the All Star Game, let’s not forget that we’re actually at the halfway point of the season right about now. Obviously, that extended break is a great time to re-group and have a chance to really look over your rosters, but right now is also a smart time for a good look at your stats and standings.

Yesterday, Yusei Kikuchi went 7 IP, 0 ER, 4 baserunners, 12 Ks, ERA at 2.82. This start had Streamonator losing its mind over it, predicting a start of 6 1/3 IP, 2 ER, 7 baserunners, 8 Ks. Yikes, not even close! Please, blog, may I have some more?

Apologies if you waited with bated breath for my Corners Report last week. Sunday and Monday, I was waylaid by a nasty bug, and had a lot to catch up on, so I wasn’t able to do the research and write, and basically do anything baseball related. Please, blog, may I have some more?
