This should go down easier than Danny Salazar's last start, but it's still not going to be that easy to digest. You have a Tums handy? Good, take like seven of them. Don't worry, if they give you kidney stones, it will take your mind off of K-Zar. Something is wrong. I hypothesized that he was tipping his pitches last time. It didn't make sense that he would strikeout more guys in four innings than anyone has ever while still getting rocked. Maybe he is, I still have no idea. I don't have my degree from the University of Pitch Scouting, which is still in a heated lawsuit with the United Parcel Service. You should sign the online petition for the United Parcel Service to change to the acronym NBU for Nice Brown Uniforms. If an online petition can't get something changed, what can? Member when people actually protested things and not just clicked a box on an online petition site? Those in-person protestors were silly! Any the hoo! A larger problem with K-Zar is his velocity is down. Still decent for most mortals, but he could be hiding a larger issue with his arm. The other day when he K'd ten guys in four innings, it might've masked a bigger problem. Yesterday's start was a real eye-opener -- 4 2/3 IP, 5 ER and only 3 Ks -- is terrible. That's not tipping pitches, that's something is wrong. The final ruling on K-Zar is you should hold him if you can, but I don't think the short-term is going to be pretty. Obviously, you can't start him next time out or until he throws a decent start. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
