GDT 8-2: Gentlemen, Start Your Engines!

Average spin rate on Waldrep's splitter today was 690.

But calling it a deadly pitch is dumb, amirite?

If he were to keep it at that it would be the lowest spin rate of any splitter in baseball by a fair bit. Only two pitchers with enough innings to qualify have a split that averages under 1,000.
 
Waldrep has been good since beginning of July. Diddier is back to good. Murphy and Richie both look great. If these 4 guys finish this season strong, it'll take some sting out of this season.
