So far this season:
Jacob Misiorowski: 1.65 ERA, 13.69 K/9
Kyle Harrison: 1.57 ERA, 11.46 K/9
Since ERA became official in both leagues in 1913, no other MLB team has had 2 pitchers with a sub-2.00 ERA & 11.00+ K/9 at the end of any day in June or later (min. 10 starts each).
THEO VON: “Was there anybody who was immune to COVID-19?”
DR. MCCULLOUGH: “There’s one adult group. You’re going to laugh.”
[Theo Von listens closely for the reveal]
DR. MCCULLOUGH: “Smokers… They got very mild cases. And they don’t get long COVID.”
THEO VON: “Why?”
MCCULLOUGH: “Because smokers maintain a level of nicotine in the bloodstream… Smoking blocks the spike protein. It’s amazing. I thought smokers were going to go down.”
THEO VON: “Do you think that’s a good idea [to use nicotine patches] on a regular basis?”
DR. MCCULLOUGH: “I think [it’s a good idea] if they have long COVID... Nicotine, don’t forget, is a nootropic. A nootropic is a drug that makes the brain function more effectively... It’s addictive, but it’s not harmful to the human body... Nicotine patches are perfectly safe.”
The @Brewers over their last 28 games:
21-7 record
284 pitching strikeouts
13 HR allowed
No other MLB team has had as many wins and strikeouts while allowing as few home runs over a 28-game span.
Hearing the Packers and Cardinals are working on a trade involving Josh Sweat, per source. It is coming down to how much cap the Packers are willing to take, and how high of a pick.
Kyle Kuzma says he now plans to launch his own venture capital fund.
Kuzma, who will have over $125 million in NBA career earnings after next season, has spent 3-4 hours a day in-season studying companies over the past few years.
#Giants QB Jaxson Dart addressed teammates in a meeting yesterday to discuss his introduction of President Trump last week, sources tell me and @RapSheet.
Other team leaders spoke up as well, and Dart and the players worked through it. They are moving forward.
Sources: The #Cardinals have received trade calls on Pro Bowl DE Josh Sweat.
Sweat had 12 sacks last season in his first year with Arizona and had a close relationship with Jonathan Gannon, whom the Cardinals moved on from.
Highest average 4-seam perceived velocity leaders among SP:
101.9 MPH - Jacob Misiorowski
98.9 MPH - Bubba Chandler
98.5 MPH - Cam Schlittler
98.5 MPH - Shohei Ohtani
DeRo breaks down the @Brewers phenom after his fifth double digit strikeout game of the year!
Jacob Misiorowski has now had 6 consecutive starts with 8+ strikeouts and without allowing an extra-base hit.
No one else in MLB history has done that more than 4 games in a row.
It's completely ridiculous.
