I am one day in and already spending my winnings from this fantasy baseball season:
I’m 14th in the Main Event overall… is there a cash out option? pic.twitter.com/nQQsqZOVfr

On the Agenda:
1. COVID Issues
2. Closer Chaos
3. Quick Hits
4. Various News and Notes
5. Streaming Pitchers
Being a big comic book and superhero fan I couldn’t help but think of Mr. Glass when it comes to Tyler Glasnow (besides the obvious pun). For those who don’t know, Mr. Glass is a character played by the prominent actor Samuel Jackson in the hit movie Unbreakable. The character’s name derives from a rare condition that brittles his body leaving him able to break every bone in by just falling over. While Tyler Glasnow is injury prone, this correlation more so derives from the make up of his skill set, one that might be more fragile than we think.
Have you ever had a bad day where you just wanted it to end? I know I have. Can you imagine having to go through an entire baseball season that you just wanted to end? A lot can go wrong for a pitcher, it can be anything from a nagging injury to a loss of velocity. The pitchers below took a step back in 2020 hurting fantasy owners around the world. Which begs the question, can they rebound?

Tall pitchers can struggle with repeating their mechanics:

The Roto Riteup endorses this level of petty.
Josh Donaldson may be the first and only player in baseball history to get ejected while hitting a home run. Amazing. pic.twitter.com/C8zwgyerQp

Now I know how I would fare if I was a Major League pitcher:
DJ LeMahieu hit a 48.7 mph pitch for a home run.
That's the slowest pitch hit out of the park in the entire pitch-tracking era (since 2008). h/t: @_dadler
