What is happening. Welcome to the Plus Pitch Podcast. More pitching podcast from Pitcherlist.com. My name is Nick Pollack. Today is September 5th and yes, we are going to talk about baseball. Marcus Stroman. Should he still be on your fantasy teams? I don't think so. 3.2 innings of 5 and runs. 9 base runners, one walk and 3 strikeouts yesterday against the Rangers. He has a 139 whip the year. If you need wins, fine.

I get that, but he's just not reliable at this moment. He doesn't do enough in the strikeout

department. Even in the ERA department, it's pretty neutral. It's right around four or so.

Look, if you're chasing a win, maybe a quality start, fine. But I got to think that you have better streamers on your waiver wires.

Shoda and Zach Gallen both went no hit in their games, but only the Cubs came through

for Imanaga who had a gallows pole.

While Zach Gallin, six innings of zero and run, zero hits, four walks and eight strikeouts and his.

He went Blake's down with four seamers upstairs and curves and changeups down, and that obviously worked.

It's not something that normally works for Gallin, though.

He's been trying to do this, and I don't know if I'm totally sold that it's the right approach.

I mean, it is to get the Rangers next.

We're going to go for that and show them. And now, of course, ace is going to ace. Valente Biazzo surprised me against the

national six innings of zero and runs with five base runners in one strikeout. How am I supposed

to butter my bread with this? Yeah, I don't believe in this at all, but whatever, I'm glad this one worked. Cole Salser opened for Tala Alexander in this game that the twins in the race decided,

yeah, sure, let's just both have an opener.

So Ronnie Enriquez went for the twins to open for Louis Varlant.

Tala Alexander went 3.2 innings of 4 run runs, got your vultured win, whatever.

Because Louis Varland went 2.1 innings of 8 earned runs despite 6 base runners.

How does that happen?

Hit by pitches?

Nope.

Fielder's choices.
