What is happening? Welcome to the plus pitch podcast. Your morning pitching podcast from

PitcherList.com. My name is Nick Pollack. Today is May 10th. And happy Friday, everybody,

because we are going to talk about baseball. We have so many guys going today and tomorrow that are

really fun. But first, we have to talk about Slates to Sony really quickly because he went

five point one innings of one and run, three hits hits three walks and two Ks in Cincinnati. And you're

wondering, wait, hold on a second. He's had four starts this year. Sure, one was bad against the

Yankees, but the other two combined for three earned runs. Is this actually a guy? No.

I mean, no, it's four whiffs, 18% CSW in 78 pitches.

And he does have a good defense behind him, but his fastball is just, you know, it is what it is.

And that fastball just isn't very good.

There are no real whiffs for sustainability, I think, for Siliats of Sony.

He has an opportunity at the moment. At some point,

Edward Rodriguez returns, and Ray Nelson's going to return. And the whole thing is just don't go

with Slade. Okay? Cool. Eric Fetty against the Guardians rebounded because if you remember the last

start, his command was really bad. This one was good. Six innings, zero and run, six hits,

zero walks, and three Ks. Proud of him for doing it. He goes against the Nationals next, and that's kind of a revenge game

for him. I remember, of course, he was on the Nationals before he went to the KBO and then, of course,

the White Sox. So that's a solid stream. That's like a bottom of problem, maybe top of questionable, I think, for Eric Fetty. They're

probably top of questionable. Paul Lopez got the king call at just 33% CSW yesterday because we only

have a handful of games. This was opposite looking Gilbert who did terribly, but Pablo Lopez did the

good stuff. I mean, he didn't dominate with four seamers as much, but he had good secondaries,

and that's really, really cool.
