So I was reviewing the news, looking at how teams were prepping their starters, and wracking my head over depth charts. 2020 the year and 2020 Fantasy Baseball is a rabbit hole. And finding quality innings from pitchers is the wonderland within. So far, several teams have indicated that at least the first week or two they intend on letting their starters only throw 3-4 innings: Giants, Cardinals, Mets, and Rockies to name a few. Yankees have said they’re limiting starters to 60ish pitches to begin. Wheeeeeee! Common sense doesn’t really work here. You’re mad. I’m mad. We’re all mad here… What? How do I know you’re mad? You must be, or you wouldn’t be here. And here isn’t really anywhere, that is of course, if not being anywhere is nowhere… unless nowhere is still somewhere. Somewhere then is surely anywhere. And that’s pitching in 2020.
Dodgers are likely to hold back their starters at the outset as well, yet, there’s still some promise. Maeda got shipped off to Minnesota. David Price has opted out for the season. Jimmy Nelson has opted for back surgery and will miss the season as well. It’s mad I tell you! I’m waiting to hear from Simone that her best friend’s sister’s boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who’s going with the girl who saw Walker pass out at 31 flavors from COVID because he wasn’t wearing a mask. But that’s obviously just hearsay. That leaves Dustin May and Ross Stripling to occupy the 5th rotation spot. So who will it be? My love for Stripling knows no bounds, seeing as I wrote a Ross Stripling sleeper back when we thought there was an Angels deal in place for him. Alas, thanks to Moreno’s impatience, that did not come to pass. Then enter the 60-game season with regional divisions and if the Dodgers give him the nod it will virtually be the same schedule. The Dodgers, though, seem to prefer him in the flex role and I feel that he will likely be reserved for a super middle reliever role making it Dustin May’s unbirthday party. Yes, either way I got you covered. And if you don’t know your way, anyway will take you there.
Please, blog, may I have some more?
