Poor Robinson Cano. Brian Dozier broke his AL record for homers by a 2B. How can he console himself? Well, it would be legal in Washington to buy 62,500 pounds of weed.
Rookie Ernesto Lin Manuel Ariel Miranda pitches for the M's. A deadline trade addition from Baltimore, he throws a four-seamer, two-seamer, and what FanGraphs can't decide is either a changeup or a sinker. Kind of an older prospect, he did well in AAA this year and in his first go-round as a starter. But, SSS, and FIP does NOT agree with him. Digits:
| ERA | H/9 | K/9 | BB/9 | HR/9 | OPS v L/R | BAbip | FIP | |
| Duffey | 6.39 | 11.4 | 7.7 | 2.3 | 1.7 | .737/1.006 | .344 | 4.73 |
| Miranda | 3.47 | 7.4 | 6.6 | 3.1 | 1.7 | .910/.695 | .287 | 4.71 |
Speaking of SSS, remember how excited we were last year about Tyler Duffey? Now, less so. He's been victimized by a high BAbip, but he still gives too many dongs. Oddly, from those OPS splits, Miranda is a lefty and Duffey a righty. Maybe they should switch.
