The Mets have something, and then some, in David Peterson, who threw a six-hit shutout tonight. Been a stud ever since he got his hip fixed. Very Andy Pettitte-like.
His progression has been really fun to watch. Peterson and Megill have been sort of tied together from a few years ago when they became bottom-of-the rotation regulars. Flashes of potential but couldn’t quite find consistency.

As you said, Peterson just clicked after that hip surgery. And really started to become that guy in the playoffs when he pitched out of the pen in a bunch of huge spots.

He’s been an excellent, dependable bulldog this season.
 
Not at all good for the '25 Tigers. That's going to leave them one quality starter short in a short series, as I see it.

Alex Cobb is rehabbing in the minors. If -- and that's a big if -- he returns close to form, that would solidify the rotation without having to resort to picking up a veteran arm at the trade deadline.

Skubal-Flaherty-Cobb-Olson-Mize isn't shabby.
 
If only the SFGs were going to the South Side from DEN, that would've been awesome to put some distance on LA and SD.
If ever there was a time to catch the Dodgers, this might be as good as any. Their starting pitching outside of Yamamoto has gone to crap with injuries. And the way the Giants have been pitching, there’s a chance to keep it close offensively and maybe steal two.

I have less confidence in Flaherty than I probably should. He didn't exactly blow 'em away in Baltimore.
 
Ugh. Kodai Senga just left his Mets start with what appears to be a badly pulled hamstring. Jumped for a high throw from Alonso covering first.

He's been lights out. Better than an arm injury, but looks bad.

Flaherty can be great. But he’s not consistent and as soon as the slightest thing goes wrong, he gets the red-ass and bad stuff often follows.
 
Milwaukee's Jacob Misiorowski is throwing absolute gas in his major-league debut. Cards have nothing through five, and the kid hit 101 last inning.
 
I'm still flabbergasted Cobb got that much money in free agency.
I'm still flabbergasted Cobb is still pitching. Has thrown enough innings to qualify for the ERA title twice, most recently in 2017. That was BEFORE his ill-fated deal with the Orioles. He's somehow become the old guy who gets paid well with the understanding he won't throw that many innings.
 
Oh, he's The Miz and he's…

He lived up to the hype first time out.
 
Andrew Vaughn traded to Milwaukee, who immediately sends him down to triple-A.

All things considered, I think he'd rather have stayed with the White Sox.

My bad. He was already in triple-A, so he's moving from Charlotte to Nashville.
