Nick and I started the Fireside Chat on this feed many years ago and we have now moved to a fully dedicated show on the PitcherList website. In lieu of Friday’s normal SATB episode, here is our latest Fireside!

We open the show with our primary topic which involves me asking Nick to go a bit deeper on some pitchers from his recent SP rankings. The following pitchers are highlighted:

• Gerrit Cole
• Aaron Nola
• Sonny Gray
• Shota Imanaga
• Tanner Houck
• Jack Flaherty
• Ronel Blanco
• Any IP concerns from Tier 5: Jared Jones, Luis Gil, Bobby Miller, Ryan Pepiot
• Jake Irvin / Hunter Brown
• Jordan Hicks
• José Berríos

Then we move to our Games segment where we keep a scoreboard with our Streamers, Sits, Stars, and Game of the Week.

Streamers (20% at FantasyPros) (At least 10 Points):

• Nick | Griffin Canning (10% vs. DET)
• Paul | Hogan Harris (7% at ARI)

Sit of the Week (50%+ at FantasyPros) (10 points or fewer): 

• Nick | Javier Assad (52% at MIL)
• Paul | Kevin Gausman (94% v. NYY)

Star of the Week (50% or under at FantasyPros) (At least 15 points):  

• Nick | Reese Olson (29% at LAA)

One Game Matchup (Highest points, Wash = Both under 10 points):
