The past two days of Round Eleven has been all about avoiding the big explosion. A leg up are the people that were able to keep themselves from taking the Mets or A’s Monday night and the Rays last night. And by “people,” I really mean “person,” as Gillig is the only one in the field that has successfully navigated these past two nights without a strike. And, thanks to that, after watching 31 strikes be handed out, including the elimination of 11 people, he is the only one of the 13 people still left in the field that doesn’t face elimination with each pick here on out. On to the specifics from last night.
