What is happening? Welcome to the plus pitch podcast. You're a pitching podcast from pitcher list.com. My name is Nick Pollock. Today is Saturday. September 21st. And yes, we're going to talk about baseball. Look, I promise you that I'll be doing this podcast through the end of the season to help you with your fantasy teams. And let's get to it. Mason Black yesterday had a good start against the Royals, 5.2 winnings of zero and runs. That's nice. I don't know if he's even going to go in his next one because it could be Robbie Ray coming back. But if he does, it's against Arizona downbacks. And

honestly, Mason Black is just a sinker, four seamer slider sweeper guy. And there's nothing that's

elite in there. And I just don't really trust like a 4 over 12 whiffs on the slider and

43% CSW in the cutter and it's going down. It's nice. It's great. Joe Musgrove did a wonderful thing

against the White Sox six innings of zero and runs. And now he gets the Dodgers. Ah, I think I'm going to

do it because he does look like he's in such a good place right now, but I get it. If you don't want to do that, you don't want to do that.

Nick Martinez coming through, man.

I got to say Nick Martinez, I, at least I moved you up from questionable yesterday,

but man, really is surprising me.

It's the guy that I've always wanted to be.

And now that he has the opportunity, I've been hesitant.

I hate myself for it. But six innings of zero runs, two, it's zero walks and nine strikeouts.

He got a king hole as well.

10 number 22 whiffs on the changeup.

Great stuff overall.

He did get fortunate with that sinker against the pirates, but playing with the pirates.

And now he gets the Cubs a little tougher.

I think he just got to do it. on an amazing run. Six innings of zero runs with a win yesterday against the nationals.

Now he does get the Phillies. So it could be a Vargas rule. It could be a case where he only had two

whiffs in this one and you don't really want to risk it there. If you're in a quality start league,

you might want to. But I think that Tyone, yeah, not not the best option here. It's going to be

questionable for me still there. Unfortunately, Richard Fitz. If the Richard fits, we sits.
