ANALYSIS

Friday Early MLB Looks: What Starting Pitchers Should Be on Today's Strikeout Watch?

If I had to classify yesterday as a "thing", I'd call it a strikeout. That's literally what it was and nobody knows strikeouts like me. Nobody. I ONLY watch baseball games for the strikeouts. That's it. One noticeable thing about strikeouts is a lot of times guys don't come up and strike out again the next time they're up. Believe me, I wish they did but it doesn't happen as much as you would think. Knowing that I think we're safe to step back up to the plate again tonight. Lucky for us, there are 14 MLB games on tonight so there literally has to be a matchup for us to take advantage of. There just has to be. We don't have lineups yet, but we'll be ready when we do.

Remember, we need to see AT LEAST five of these batters in these lineups when they are released. If that happens, get ready to fire away. Be somebody today.
