Welcome to the SP Roundup, my daily fantasy baseball article reviewing every starting pitcher’s performance from every Monday game. I apologize for the jokes written in my delirium in advance. Have questions? Ask me during my office hours on Twitch weekday mornings from 9 am-11 am ET. <\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n We’ve waited a while for Lance Lynn <\/strong>to make his 2022 debut and it wasn’t quite what we were hoping for in Detroit as he went 4.1 IP, 3 ER, 10 Hits, 0 BBs, 4 Ks – 9 Whiffs, 24% CSW, 88 pitches. <\/strong>His heater was 1.4 ticks down from last year, he made a few mistakes down the middle of the plate, and he was overall walloped by the Tigers. Womp womp.<\/p>\n It’s not a death sentence – far from it. Sure, Lynn had a poor time in his rehab start as well and the velocity is down, but I see this more as another rehab start than a “this is who he is.” Give him a start or two to get the velocity back and I’d be surprised if he’s still struggling in July. It may be a decent time to buy low if a manager wants to cash out now, if you’re up for it.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Aces skirt ace. Interesting to see Manoah feature sinkers heavily inside the zone instead of jammed arm-side exclusively, but it worked tremendously well as the slider and four-seamer cleaned up. Hard not to love Manoah right now.<\/p>\n This is why you don’t roster Archer: He may hit the target ERA, but it’s not for very long. It’s the biggest knock against him and I’d draw another instead. He’s not one to make you quiver.<\/p>\n Oh look, it’s Steele coming through in an outing. This was four-seamer-city with 70% usage and nothing else doing a whole lot and I’m glad it worked for him. I guess. You’d be best not trying to steal a gaze at Justin.<\/p>\n Hey that’s a Gallows Pole<\/span> <\/strong>for Darvish as he did exactly <\/em>what he should do against the Cubs. It’s good to see his four-seamer cooking at 41% CSW as the cutter held the fort, rarely turning to the slider. The man kept it pretty dang simple. Next up is Coors and that always brings hesitation – I look to you to decide if you want to flip the coin on a Sunday.<\/p>\n Aces skirt ace. That’s not the WHIP you want as his four-seamer command di lui wasn’t as pristine as we’ve seen, but he still strolled through nearly eight frames against a dangerous Phillies offense. I’m so proud of you.<\/p>\n Of course the battle of Nola vs. Sandy would end with neither losing and both succeeding – because how they try to make me choose between them. Everything worked here and I’m just thrilled Nola could go two straight dominant starts instead of the ridiculous yo-yoing he’s been doing all year. Give me two more and you have your AGA.<\/p>\n Ayyyy he did it! If you’re curious what Javier’s best four-seamer command looks like, here’s the plot from this game. This is what we’re chasing. And hey, 67% breaking ball strikes is all kinds of wonderful, too. Don’t worry about the WHIP, this is a great sign that can hopefully continue against the White Sox on Sunday.<\/p>\n Sigh. <\/em>I know it’s a decent ERA but he went 10\/30 slider whiffs last start and here it was\u2026 0\/16. ZERO FOR SIXTEEN. It can be really hard having a taste of honey and having to live the rest of your life without it. But the curveball had a 35% CSW! <\/em>Yeah yeah yeah, whatever. I don’t want to chase Keller.<\/p>\n Yup, that’s Wood coming through once again. He has two more solid matchups left for you – Pirates and Reds – and with everything working, you better lean on him for it.<\/p>\n Ehhhhh, I’ll take it. The sinker had enough called strikes, but the slider failed to come through on its side of the bargain, earning just 5\/31 whiffs, leading to far too many free passes. He’s still a 50\/50 play and I’d pass against the Angels next, even if he’ll be a Questionable Start.<\/p>\n That’s a mighty fine Dusty Donut<\/span> <\/strong>if you’re into that sort of thing, featuring a 1.80 WHIP to go with a solid ERA and strikeouts. I guess I’m proud of him for doing it against the strong Minnesota offense and it makes the Angels a little more digestible next time. I’d prefer to not have to rely on it, but I guess that’s okay\u2026?<\/p>\n Yeaaaah, there isn’t a Hearnal of truth in those who tell you to pick up Taylor.<\/p>\n That’s a King Cole<\/span> <\/strong>but a poor evening at the park for Kelly. It’s good to see both 93\/94 mph and a decent changeup present, he just got Singled Out<\/span> <\/strong>bit. Tough luck. I wouldn’t start him against the Twins.<\/p>\n Bleeeegh. <\/em>Even with his changeup earning a ton of strikes, Anderson didn’t have his best fastball and the curveball (despite its decent location under the zone) didn’t make the impact we wanted. I know this makes us want to move on from Anderson, but he faces the Cubs on Sunday. Surely he’ll be serviceable then, right?<\/p>\n There really isn’t much here to consider. Oh, my little Rony, you don’t deserve such trouble.<\/p>\n Okay okay, I’ll stop wondering if Minor is anything major for a while. At least the slider looked good, sadly the fastball is baaaad.<\/em><\/p>\n No, this one has a K. No he had two Ks. <\/em>Oh lord, this Thompson is 93\/94 mph on four-seamers with a meh curveball and changeup. Stick with the other one, if you must.<\/p>\n A struggling Orioles starter against the mighty Jays lineup? Pretty cheesy for the scriptwriters to print that stat line – come up with something original, JEEZ.<\/em><\/p>\n Whoa, it’s Erasmus! I really didn’t want us to see each other again in this kind of circumstance. There were days you were shockingly good, remember? I miss those days.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Joe Ryan vs. Logan Gilbert – <\/b>Ryan is expected to return from the COVID-IL and I don’t care what he’s done so far, I’ll still hold out hope Gilbert figures out a legit secondary pitch.<\/p>\n But Nick ?!
