October baseball baby, drink it in.
The first day of the MLB postseason was highlighted by starting pitching.
Tarik Skubal, Corbin Burnes, and Cole Ragans all delivered gems for their teams.
The one who topped them all though?
That’d be San Diego’s Michael King.
How’s 7 shutout innings, 12 strikeouts, and no walks in your first ever postseason start?
This was a masterclass.
When Yankees fans saw his name in the deal they winced.
His potential was through the roof if he could stay healthy as a starting pitcher.
When you pair King’s electric stuff with his genius pitching brain you get a monster.
On Tuesday night Atlanta’s offense learned that first hand.
He generated swings like the one below all night long.
About as fun of a pitcher to watch when he’s on.
I was so happy watching King and Higgy (HR) have the nights they did for San Diego.
While I have you here, quick shout out to what Tarik Skubal did today in Houston.
The 2024 AL Cy Young was a monster in this one.
The man was in complete control as the Tigers stole Game 1.
Tigers, Royals, Mets, and Padres all win on the first night.
Wednesday should be awesome with teams like Houston and Baltimore having their backs up against the wall.
This is only the beginning.
