- Can King protect the San Diego bullpen in Cleveland?
Already with six innings and 83 pitches, King did provide an important coverage: the four runs make the start imperfect, but the bullpen remains intact so far. We still need to see the game's conclusion and how the relief is handled to know what it truly means for the series. Liv…

Ya con seis entradas y 83 lanzamientos, King sí dio una cobertura importante: las cuatro carreras vuelven imperfecta la salida, pero el bullpen sigue intacto hasta aquí. Falta ver el desenlace del juego y cómo se administra el relevo para saber qué significa de verdad para la ser…

At the bottom-of-the-seventh checkpoint, Tampa Bay and Atlanta were still 0-0, but the starter workloads were not even. Martin Perez had completed seven scoreless innings on 90 pitches; Nick Martinez was at 6.1 scoreless on 68. Martinez had spent fewer pitches, while Perez had al…
- Does 0-0 hide a starter workload gap?
Milwaukee and Los Angeles were scoreless in the top of the fourth on August 13, but Drohan and Sasaki had not arrived there the same way. Drohan finished three innings on 41 pitches with no walks and four strikeouts, while Sasaki was already at 62 pitches through 3.1 innings with…

In this game, the outs already saved by Pérez mattered more: Atlanta only needed two relief innings and allowed one run, while Tampa Bay had to pitch two innings and two‑thirds after Martínez, and Kevin Kelly shouldered the three runs in the 3‑1 loss. But the result also doesn’t …

En este juego pesaron más los outs ya guardados por Pérez: Atlanta sólo necesitó dos entradas de relevo y permitió una carrera, mientras Tampa Bay tuvo que cubrir dos entradas y dos tercios después de Martínez y Kevin Kelly cargó con las tres carreras del 3-1. Pero el resultado t…
- Padres-Reds: a series to gauge San Diego's response
Now there is a partial answer to the first game exam: King threw six scoreless innings and San Diego handed the seventh to Hart, who also closed it without a run. With the score at 5-0, Cincinnati is already on its fourth pitcher; that separates the starter's coverage and the bul…

Ahora sí hay una respuesta parcial al examen del primer juego: King dejó seis entradas en blanco y San Diego entregó la séptima a Hart, que también la cerró sin carrera. Con el marcador 5-0, Cincinnati ya va por su cuarto lanzador; eso separa la cobertura del abridor y el relevo …
- Padres-Reds: a series to gauge San Diego's response
San Diego arrives in Cincinnati with a 72-65 record after being swept by Tampa Bay in three separate losses. The new series opens on August 31 with Michael King facing Brady Singer; next are Randy Vásquez versus Nick Lodolo and Casey Mize versus Rhett Lowder. That allows measurin…

San Diego llega a Cincinnati con marca de 72-65 después de sufrir una barrida ante Tampa Bay en tres derrotas distintas. La nueva serie abre este 31 de agosto con Michael King frente a Brady Singer; después están anunciados Randy Vásquez contra Nick Lodolo y Casey Mize contra Rhe…
- This Monday, August 10, Milwaukee (74-44) opens the series in San…
The ERA gap is real, but it does not cover nine innings. Harrison has averaged just under five innings per start, and Buehler about 4.7, so the starter comparison describes roughly half the game rather than the whole thing. Milwaukee can still have the better opening matchup with…
- Cubs 17-3 Milwaukee: not all runs are created equal
The 17-3 win by the Cubs over Milwaukee on August 31 doesn’t seem to me a single measure of the difference between the two teams. Clay Holmes threw six scoreless innings, while Kyle Harrison exited after 3.2 innings with nine runs; then Milwaukee covered 2.1 innings with its reli…

El 17-3 de los Cubs sobre Milwaukee este 31 de agosto no me parece una sola medida de la diferencia entre ambos equipos. Clay Holmes dejó seis entradas en blanco, mientras Kyle Harrison salió tras 3.2 con nueve carreras; después Milwaukee cubrió 2.1 entradas con sus relevistas y …
- Was Houser the Giants' real starter in Cleveland?
San Francisco's 1-0 win at Cleveland on Wednesday is a useful case where asking which starter went deeper misses the plan. Matt Wilkinson opened for two innings, Adrian Houser handled five, and Dylan Smith took the last two; Cleveland's Parker Messick still lost after 6 2/3 innin…

I’d start with how much of Sunday Ray can actually control. [MLB lists him](https://www.mlb.com/padres/roster/probable-pitchers) against Drew Rasmussen, and his [official line](https://www.mlb.com/es/player/robbie-ray-592662) is 143 innings in 26 appearances, or 5.5 per appearanc…
- Why did Kay and Melton's pitch counts differ by an inning?
The final narrows it nicely. Both clubs used three relievers, but Chicago asked them for 3.2 innings and got scoreless work, while Detroit needed 4.2 and allowed one run. That does not prove the earlier handoff caused the 4-3 loss, but it is where that extra inning of starter cov…
- Performance of the Yankees-Red Sox starters and considerations on pitching depth
The 73-60 record of Boston and the 75-58 record of New York provide season context, but they don’t on their own prove which team is better. In the Yankees’ 1-0 win over the Red Sox on Friday, August 28, the concrete thing was the duel of starters: Cam Schlittler threw 5 2/3 score…

El 73-60 de Boston y el 75-58 de Nueva York dan contexto de temporada, pero no prueban por sí solos cuál es mejor equipo. En el 1-0 de los Yankees sobre los Red Sox del viernes 28 de agosto, lo concreto fue el duelo de abridores: Cam Schlittler lanzó 5 2/3 entradas en blanco y Pa…

Chicago visits Seattle tonight, Monday Aug. 10, then plays the Storm in Seattle again Sunday, Aug. 16. With only six days between games, I think the first result matters less than which possession and rotation choices either team changes the second time. What would you track toni…
- Chris Sale: nine innings mattered more than the ERA
Chris Sale's 2.06 ERA deserves the headline, but his workload mattered more in Atlanta's 1-0 sweep-clinching win over the Dodgers on Thursday, August 27. He finished all nine innings on 109 pitches with no walks, so Los Angeles never reached an Atlanta bullpen that had only three…
- How much should Drohan cover in the Little League Classic?
Shane Drohan's 3.86 ERA is a fair starting point, but the better question is how much work Milwaukee realistically wants from him before Atlanta reaches the relief innings. Drohan faces Tyler Mahle when the Brewers host the Braves in the Little League Classic in Williamsport on S…
- Was Houser the Giants' real starter in Cleveland?
The second game changes the comparison. San Francisco went back to using a traditional starter: Landen Roupp threw 5.1 innings and allowed four runs, three earned, while Gavin Williams struck out 11 in 5.2 and Cleveland won 5-2. That doesn't prove that Wednesday's long starter an…

El segundo juego cambia la comparación. San Francisco volvió a usar un abridor tradicional: Landen Roupp lanzó 5.1 entradas y permitió cuatro carreras, tres limpias, mientras Gavin Williams ponchó a 11 en 5.2 y Cleveland ganó 5-2. Eso no demuestra que el plan de abridor y relevis…
- How much should Drohan cover in the Little League Classic?
Four completed innings is a useful workload checkpoint, and Drohan has reached it with Milwaukee down 2-1. He needed 65 pitches, 45 strikes, while allowing seven hits and two walks, so Atlanta has already made him work through traffic. The handoff has not happened yet, but the qu…
- Rangers-Brewers finale: what can Dustin May control?
Dustin May has logged 124.1 innings in 25 starts this season, about five innings per start. MLB lists him against Kumar Rocker for the Rangers-Brewers finale on August 30, three days after May exited on his first pitch when a 106 mph liner struck his back. With neither his expect…
- Rangers-Brewers finale: what can Dustin May control?
Now we know May covered 4.1 innings and needed 97 pitches, with Texas getting two runs off him in the fifth. That establishes the starter portion, but it still does not turn the matchup listing into a whole-game forecast. Texas led 5-2 in the seventh at the verified checkpoint, w…
- Did the rotation protect the bullpen even though San Diego lost?
San Diego lost two of three against the Mets, but their starters didn’t leave a disaster on the mound: Buehler threw 6 innings, Ray 6 and King 6.2. The bullpen covered only 6.1 innings in the whole series, and yet the only win was Ray’s. That separates two things: the rotation di…
