[I]"So: [URL='http://www.baseballprospectus.com/card/card.php?id=65957']Gerrit Cole[/URL] had his lowest spin-rate start in years. But also, it might not actually mean anything. But also, it might mean a lot! Welcome to MLB in 2021, where everything is what you make of it unless Rob Manfred says otherwise. It was a rough start for Cole, his five earned runs tying the most he’s allowed this season (other than Thursday and the start on the 17th of May, he’s not allowed more than two earned runs in a start this season). He also still struck out as many batters as he allowed baserunners, and it’d be foolish to extrapolate anything from a single start. If this is the start of a trend, however, don’t expect it to take root—or the effects of the enforcement to be felt—exclusively among the league’s best and highest-profile starters. —Ginny Searle"[/I]
