[DOUGHBOYS]

Chris Tillman- 5.40/66 k/1.56 WHIP

Chris Tillman has six Wins...Lester, three

Tyson Ross, with 55 BB's allowed, leads all pitchers and has a 3.34 ERA
Bartolo Colon and Phil Hughes have the least, 11.
Colon has a 4.46 ERA, Hughes, .4.32

Ian Kennedy is averaging just over five innings a start.

Only four pitchers are throwing more than seven innings per start...
Scherzer, Sale, Keuchel, Kluber

Zack Greinke is putting up REAL quality starts.
In 15 of 18 starts, he has given up no more than two earned runs while pitching no less than six innings.
In 63 innings against non-division foes, Greinke has allowed three earned runs... 0.43 ERA

Kyle Gibson has induced 22 double play balls.
Max Scherzer, 2.

The Tampa Rays are 22-18 on the road this year.
The fifth straight year with an above .500 road record.
No other team can boast of the same.

The National League's starting nine were all from different team's in the All Star game.
The first time that has ever happened.

Robinson Cano once won a home run derby.
I know you know that.
I just wanted to remind Seattle fans that it really did happen.

Todd Frazier has not hit a home run in 51 at bats.
Not counting hitting against fellas lobbing cookies to impress the masses...

Nick Markakis, as he was known in the American League never hit less than 10 homers in a season
Nancy Markakis, as he is known in the National League, has never hit a homer there.

Omar Infante has zero home runs and is hitting .236
Nobody said KC fans were smart, just supportive.

Speaking of the Royals, they allowed eight unearned runs on Sunday....and won.
The first team to do that in over 100 years.

Before this year, Craig Kimbrel was a master at clean innings.
Sloppy Saves (A Save in which one or two runs are allowed), not a thought.
This year, only Jason Grilli and Santiago Casilla (6) have more sloppy Saves than Kimbrel (5)

Billy Hamilton with 44 stolen bases is important for owners in that category.
His .220 batting average and demotion to ninth in the lineup does not bode well for his future.

Didi Gregorius has four homers, 19 rbi, and a .238 avg
Kevin Kiermaier has four homers, 16 rbi, and .248 avg
Defense is finding at bats for them.

Chris Carter has 27 singles this season.
Dee Gordon had 27 singles by April 26

With 21 homers and 16 stolen bases, Paul Goldschmidt is the only player with a reasonable shot at 30/30
I marvel at how many drafters foresee 30/30 seasons for players just drafted...
