Tie game.

Black allowed the following pitcher to face one batter.

Andy K, Sunday, 20 July 2014 22:43 (eleven years ago)

I know this thread is starting pitchers but I feel like Sean Doolittle should get talked about somewhere... are there any other examples of dudes at age 25 or so with basically minimal minor league experience (26 innings for Doolittle) suddenly turning into high quality pitchers??!?! Seems remarkable like Rick Ankiel in reverse.

Please, please, please make it happen.

41 years old, and according to Baseball Reference he doesn't have a nickname. That's not fair.

clemenza, Wednesday, 23 July 2014 21:16 (eleven years ago)

I'm sure someone in Montreal called him Le Gros Barto or something.

Van Horn Street, Wednesday, 23 July 2014 21:18 (eleven years ago)

i've always just called him 2005 American League Cy Young Winner Somehow

The question isn't if, but when the baseball is going to find young Eric Campbell. #Mets

for extra fun, Joe Morgan is in the Reds' booth

son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 23 August 2014 01:14 (eleven years ago)

Ah, I saw footage of him crying at his street sign earlier. Bud was in town too; not sure if he stuck around for the game.

Cindy Operahouse (WilliamC), Saturday, 23 August 2014 01:23 (eleven years ago)

Welp.

Cindy Operahouse (WilliamC), Saturday, 23 August 2014 01:52 (eleven years ago)

Van Horn Street, Wednesday, 27 August 2014 04:35 (eleven years ago)

mookieproof, Wednesday, 27 August 2014 04:43 (eleven years ago)

Van Horn Street, Wednesday, 27 August 2014 04:44 (eleven years ago)

98 game score (second-best of the year)
103 pitches, 80 strikes
24-for-28 first-pitch strikes
17-for-28 going up 0-2
13 strikeouts, 12 of them swinging
one three-ball count: went ahead 0-2, threw three balls, struck him out

solid performance

mookieproof, Wednesday, 27 August 2014 05:05 (eleven years ago)

He's also been way better on the road than at home, so this is welcomed.

Van Horn Street, Wednesday, 27 August 2014 05:12 (eleven years ago)

yusmiero petit

mookieproof, Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:25 (eleven years ago)

he's allowed 2 hits and a run in 3 innings

linda cardellini (zachlyon), Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:40 (eleven years ago)

well, that was after setting a major league record by retiring 46 consecutive batters

mookieproof, Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:50 (eleven years ago)

of course the guy to break the streak was the opposing pitcher
