i'd apologize for spamming the thread with posts about the 1974 all star game, but there's no other thread and i already used my allotment of three apologies for the day (an actual rule i have to follow now).
mike marshall's 1974 season: 208 innings pitched, across 106 games. he didn't start a game, and he won 15 games with 21 saves. the announcer just mentioned that marshall had just set a record by pitching in 13 games in a row

first mlb.tv broadcast this afternoon; honestly pretty impressed by the northeastern team
i mean they lost, and it's not like the sox were playing any major leaguers, and their pitchers grew increasingly scared to throw strikes, but they looked okay! red sox made both errors in the game
