The 10 Nastiest Pitches from Wednesday

Welcome to another edition of the 2024 two-start pitcher rankings!. My rankings have four tiers: Set and Forget, Probably Start, Questionable, and Avoid. Set and Forget starters are simply that; get them in your lineup and don’t think twice. The Most Likely Start tier includes players with the mix of skill and matchups that make them almost certainly two-start plays, but not without some elevated risk compared to the top tier. Questionable starters are those best suited for daily lineup leagues where you can bench them against the tougher of their two opponents or are more situation-dependent in weekly leagues. Finally, we have the Avoid tier, which includes two start SPs who should remain on your bench or the wire.

Two-Start Pitchers: 8/5 – 8/11

Giants left-handed star Blake Snell no-hit the Reds on Friday night in Cincinnati, walking three and striking out 11 across 114 pitches in San Francisco’s 3-0 win at Great American Ballpark.

Snell was at 108 pitches through eight innings, and despite having never pitched a complete game in his big league career, manager Bob Melvin sent him back out to the mound in the notoriously hitter-friendly venue. 

The southpaw answered with a perfect ninth, retiring Reds All-Star Elly De La Cruz for the final out with a fly ball that landed into Mike Yastrzemski’s glove.

There ain’t no hangover like a crazy trade deadline hangover because a crazy trade deadline hangover makes you wonder why you spent so much time overanalyzing all of the trades that didn’t happen and reflect on how little we can actually predict. And that feeling don’t stop. Crochet stayed in Chicago because he hurt his GM’s feelings, the guys we thought were closers in waiting became another team’s middle reliever, and a lot of teams declined to trim their bushes into a maze. You know, because their moves were confusing hedges.

Do you know any self-righteous person who rarely apologizes? We all have different weaknesses and offend others once in a while. However, some zodiac signs’ pettiness and insecurity hinder them from seeking forgiveness when they cross someone’s path. Instead, they try to prove that they were right when they did something.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced a six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie who is looking for her forever home. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”
