Seven earned runs in 1/3 IP last night and not even a mention of it on Rotoworld. What the bleep happened??
Allowed 6 ER on 7 Hits in his MLB debut on June 30th of last year......he looked like a Cy Young winner in that game compared to his 1st MLB start today....9 ER on 7 Hits in 1 1/3 innings.
Just for kicks: those 9---adding in Austin Meadows for Riley Greene----have posted a 4x4 line of .213-18-87-4, which is not good.
Nor have Eric Haase or Daz Cameron or Derek Hill helped. I guess Willi Castro has, by hitting .275, but yeesh.
The lefty tossed 58 of 99 pitches for strikes before exiting with a 4-2 lead, but Fried was denied his fifth win of the year when Kenley Jansen blew the save in the top of the ninth. The quality start was Fried's second in a row and sixth in nine trips to the mound, and he'll carry a 3.27 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 52:8 K:BB through 55 innings into his next outing.
I agreed with ML back in March. Hasn't worked out that way.
Grossman will get a breather after he went just 1-for-20 with a double, a run, a stolen base, a walk and six strikeouts over the last five games. Willi Castro, Derek Hill and Daz Cameron will start in the outfield from left to right.
Rotowire:
The backstop launched a three-run shot off Jordan Hicks in the fourth inning and a solo blast off Drew VerHagen in the seventh. Jansen has only played in 11 games this season due to an oblique strain, but he's made the most of his chances by hitting .310 (9-for-29) with five homers, six runs and eight RBI.

05.25: Tommy La Stella went 2-for-6 with a three-run homer and two runs scored
His batting average, that's what.
With two hits yesterday, he's batting .365.

Rotowire:
The 23-year-old corner outfielder isn't one of the Pirates' top prospects, but he could get an everyday role with the big club nonetheless after he produced an impressive .306/.362/.500 slash line with five home runs and six stolen bases across 138 plate appearances. The Pirates may view Mitchell as an upgrade over right fielder Jack Suwinski, who could be demoted in a corresponding move after posting a meager .609 OPS in 82 plate appearances since receiving a call-up from Double-A Altoona in late April.
Me too, we have a 6 man minor league roster, he was on mine since early on.
4 HR out of 6 hits so far in 50 AB. 4 Runs scored. His BAvg is .120. His ISO is .240.
I think he is morphing from being a thrower into a pitcher. The improvement in the walk rate leaves me very happy and I agree that the Guardians will be very careful with his workload. I think that 135-to-150 innings is in the cards for this year and that's what I'm planning around. My biggest concern is the build. I'd love to see him put on 20 pounds.
Up with the Giants. We have a week to decide whether to FAAB him. Probably not.

This guy is really exceeding expectations. Looking more and more like his brother. I always like it when a catcher is being played at 1b, OF, or DH by his team. Tells me they know the guy can rake.
