One last week before the All-Star break, and it’s a good one. We’ve got both high-end options and depth in offerings. Even down into the Fortune Cookies, there are guys who have been interesting this season. Weeks like this one are good. We like them. As a scheduling note, be aware that the Cookie Shop will […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?
We are at the halfway point of the season. To celebrate, have an actually pretty good group of two start pitchers! What follows are our projections at time of writing as to who will be making two-starts this week, but weather, injuries, and secretive team management mean they are just that: projections. To stay as […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Chris Sale was originally scheduled to be a part of this week’s batch, but a trip to the IL due to a broken rib changes things. A lot of times when an ace goes down like that, the guy who takes his place is entirely underwhelming. This time, however, there’s at least a chance it’s Spencer […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Well, well, well. Take a look at that. We have a veritable smorgasbord of options placed before us this week. The quality isn’t too bad, either, though the matchups are a bit of a mixed bag in many cases. I feel like I should have more to say as way of introduction to the rankings […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?There are a number of teams that, as of early Sunday morning, haven’t announced early-week starters. The list below reflects the assumption that they won’t do anything weird or unexpected, and guys will take their turns in order. This week is a list that is light at the very top, but fairly decent for options […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hey, look! A decent batch of two start options! After a couple weeks of pretty unappealing offerings, this week provides some sweet relief. That said, it isn’t without some sour notes of its own. For instance, Nathan Eovaldi was originally lined up for double duty this week, but left his last start early and is […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?There’s underwhelming weeks for two start options, and then there’s this week. Yuck. Not only are the Chocolate Chip and Sugar Cookies in short supply, but even the Oatmeal Raisins are lacking in quantity. (They’re also lacking in quality.) If you’re someone who comes here looking for options to chase after on the waiver wire […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?If you have Tarik Skubal, this looks it should be a really good week for you. Though it almost always is. He’s really good! But you get a double serving this week! As for everyone else…it could be worse. It’s not that it’s a bad week for two start options; it’s just that it isn’t […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I don’t have a whole lot to say in the way of introduction this week. But, Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. If there are four female readers…maybe ONE mom? Also, Happy Mother’s Day to YOUR mom, for letting you eat Cheetos and live in the basement, give her a special treat […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?This week’s biggest question mark is probably out in Arizona. Corbin Burnes was originally lined up to be a part of this list, but it was announced that a shoulder issue means he will be getting skipped at least one turn through the rotation. Ryne Nelson is being widely speculated as being the man to […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?There’s a few things to mention before we get into it this week. The biggest question marks going into Sunday’s action is who will take over open rotation spots for the Athletics, Blue Jays, and White Sox. For our purposes here, who they select really means nothing, because the choices are all distasteful. Do be […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?After a couple of pretty strong weeks in the two-start department, this week is significantly weaker. It has the potential to be pretty good, but a few names in the Sugar Cookie tier haven’t been as good as you’d hope they would be, and there are some sour matchups on deck to boot. Beyond that, […]
