The Pirates finally got their first win from a starter in their 28th game, a major league record to begin a season. The old mark was set by the Baltimore Orioles in 1988 when they started 0-21.
also snapped a 16-game losing streak vs the dodgers

Guardians score 6 in top of the ninth to tie game. End up winning.

^^8 RBI for Toronto's (Mississauga's, technically) Josh Naylor--if I read it right, all in the last two innings without a HR?
― clemenza, Tuesday, 10 May 2022 14:47 (two years ago) link
he hit two homers

I swear I looked at the boxscore and missed that...really didn't make sense, though. Anyway, his minor-league career kind of paralleled Darren Shred's, the guy I coach in middle school who was drafted by the Reds, so I follow him. Darren got hurt (Reds could probably use him now), Naylor kept going.

God, the Dodgers starting pitching right now...Six different guys have started games; one has an ERA of around 2.75, the other five have dead-ball-era ERAs.

Stanton and Judge look like an excellent bet for 100+ HR (and 50+ each) if healthy--22 in 32 games. There must have been some 50+ teammates during the PED era.
― clemenza, Saturday, 14 May 2022 05:07 (two years ago) link
None--surprised. Still only Maris/Mantle.
― clemenza, Saturday, 14 May 2022 05:09 (two years ago) link
really? i'm surprised as well. but yeah, guess there haven't been any.
"if healthy" is the key. stanton has had a very strange career
― Bruce Stingbean (Karl Malone), Saturday, 14 May 2022 05:11 (two years ago) link
Looks like the two closest are Ruth (60)/Gehrig (47) in 1927, and A-Rod (52)/Palmeiro (47) in 2001.

It’s wild he doesn’t hurt himself more tbh. His swing is bonkers

"Judge and Stanton join Babe Ruth (14) and Lou Gehrig (10) from 1930 and Mickey Mantle (16) and Yogi Berra (12) from 1956 as the only pair of teammates in franchise history to have 10-plus homers in 32 games."

players with 0 walks so far in 2022, sorted by PAs (all stats from before today's games)
68 PAs: Yadier Molina63: Cole Tucker38: Francisco Mejia29: Edmundo Sosa25: Royce Lewis23: Jose Rojas22: Dee don't make a joke about me being Strange-Gordon
― Bruce Stingbean (Karl Malone), Saturday, 14 May 2022 20:33 (two years ago) link
i'll give yadi a pass; he's not-quite-a-hall-of-famer (but will obviously get in at some point)
cole tucker has an 11 wRC+ this year and a career -2.1 bWAR. happily he's been sent down
― mookieproof, Saturday, 14 May 2022 21:16 (two years ago) link
didn't we used to do polls to see who would go the longest without walking? i can't remember how "good"/bad 68 PAs without a walk is.
what's funny was that in yadi's last appearance today, with a full count, he chased an obvious ball four and struck out :P
― Bruce Stingbean (Karl Malone), Saturday, 14 May 2022 21:24 (two years ago) link
"obvious" to me as a pro baseball watcher
― Bruce Stingbean (Karl Malone), Saturday, 14 May 2022 21:25 (two years ago) link
these guys suck!
*trips over rug on way to kitchen, again*
― Bruce Stingbean (Karl Malone), Saturday, 14 May 2022 21:26 (two years ago) link
we did, and iirc 68 PA is a great deal
― mookieproof, Saturday, 14 May 2022 21:26 (two years ago) link
i'm kind of proud of him. i hope he never walks again!
i don't think he deserves to be a first-ballot hall of famer but i think he will come close and will quite possibly get it anyway. i've enjoyed watching him sweat his ass off for the last 18 or so years
― Bruce Stingbean (Karl Malone), Saturday, 14 May 2022 21:31 (two years ago) link
If he gets in and the VC hasn't yet put Munson in, I will complain.

pirates are three outs away from winning a game in which they’ve been no-hit
― mookieproof, Sunday, 15 May 2022 20:09 (two years ago) link
wow
― Tracer Hand, Sunday, 15 May 2022 20:09 (two years ago) link
did it. sixth time ever
― mookieproof, Sunday, 15 May 2022 20:13 (two years ago) link
So I did read the box score correctly, that's nuts.
― Bee OK, Sunday, 15 May 2022 20:29 (two years ago) link
Only 24 outs though
― ✖, Sunday, 15 May 2022 20:31 (two years ago) link
Per the Elias Sports Bureau, a no-hitter needs to be at least nine innings in order to be official.
― Bee OK, Sunday, 15 May 2022 20:34 (two years ago) link
Or what x said
That’s insane. I should probably watch more highlights or something because I would never have know if not for this thread
― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Sunday, 15 May 2022 20:37 (two years ago) link
Of course it’s the reds.
Heard a funny radio call of the last out: "The Pirates have just been no-hit, and THEY'VE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER!"

Fuck Michele Tafoya.

the final pitch of the game was a 46.6 mph curveball

should have posted on that all on the He Reigneth thread
this is gonna be the thing that keeps him below 100 rWAR
― ✖, Monday, 16 May 2022 06:14 (two years ago) link
my brain is fried today so sorry if this is a dumb question, but why didn't ke bryan hayes' RBI count as a hit (in the reds' no-hitter loss)?
― na (NA), Monday, 16 May 2022 15:44 (two years ago) link
Ruled as a fielders choice I believe.

Naturally I'm extremely pleased to see that Pujols throws the eephus
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Monday, 16 May 2022 15:55 (two years ago) link
xxp hayes *almost* hit into a double play but beat the throw to first
― mookieproof, Monday, 16 May 2022 16:39 (two years ago) link
right ... i don't really get the baseball scoring logic of that not counting as a hit - he hit the ball and ended up on first without an error. i guess the idea is he probably would have been out if he had been the only runner.
― na (NA), Monday, 16 May 2022 16:43 (two years ago) link
right
― Tracer Hand, Monday, 16 May 2022 16:45 (two years ago) link
lol sorry for that last post where i make an argument and then immediately counter my own argument.

The Padres dodged a bullet there, so much so, that that trade seems fishie.
