JD on Cristopher Sanchez (Jul 15, 2026): Alright, as hot as Cris Sanchez was during the 50+ scoreless inning streak is as cold as he seems to be now. During the ASG you could clearly tell what was wrong, he would get ahead of guys quickly with great stuff and then he would start trying to get cute with his CH and kept missing armside because he wasn't finishing off the pitch. When Sanchez is dominating he is just letting his stuff play and K's come naturally, rather than trying to force the issue and leading to mechanical breakdowns. All this being said, I think it's time I back off of my #1 overall SP call and turn over the throne to it's rightful owner, the Mis.
JD on Paul Skenes (Jul 3, 2026): Is it time to start worrying about Paul Skenes? He is down 1.6mph on his FB since the start of the season and 3.8mph off his debut in '24. Maybe it doesn't matter for the rest of this season, but if you are playing in dynasty leagues are you still comfortable with him at #1SP? What about when you see this chart of his average spin rate per game? I think I have to knock him down to #SP3 based on this, and I'm holding my breath because I'm worried it's about to get a lot worse. I'm not so much worried about the game performance (7ER in 4 IP) because those games happen but the underlying metrics are at least somewhat concerning. I hope I am wrong because Skenes is great for the game of baseball, but I urge all Skenes owners to exercise caution going forward and potentially trade him if the price is right.
