1. salvomania Posted: July 06, 2022 at 02:46 PM (#6085765)While technically true - and also correct about Eloy being fragile - it's still really misleading. In 2020, only 29 players had more than 213 AB because of the shortened season; this year is only around halfway over. So really you're just saying he missed most of 2021.

Cubs won 2 of 3 in MIL, including hanging the L on Hader today (non-save situation).
Nick Allen looks like a 12 year old.
that's Nimmo's 50th career HBP, tied for most in Mets history along with beloved star Michael Conforto (now in the federal government's Witness Protection Program - I'm assuming).
weird part is the Mets in the early/mid-1960s had a solid second baseman named Ron Hunt. later in his career with the Expos, Hunt broke a record for HBP in one season. how many? you guessed it - 50.
Also, a bases-loaded 2-rbi single.
He's never not amazing.
[ducks for cover]
33.2 IP, 16 hits, 7 walks, 46 Ks, 1 earned run, 0.27 ERA.
IF the Angels win, he'll be 5-0 over that stretch. In non-Shohei starts during that stretch, the Angels are 5-14.
Hunt broke in with the 1959 McCook Braves. He was a baseball magnet from the start- 13 HBP in 62 games. One of his teammates was still around in the 80s - Phil Niekro. And another pitched his final professional game in 1997 - Pat Jordan. Though Jordan was working on about 13000 days of rest.
I would have guessed 2-17.
EDIT: Worth noting that Matt Carpenter is getting a start in RF tonight.
EDIT: Donaldson SF makes it 10-0, causing Pirates broadcasters to muse about possible unwritten rule violation.
EDIT: Hicks Grand Slam & Stanton solo shot make it 15-0, and produce “THIS IS A JOKE” response from Pirates broadcaster.
Those Pirates announcers were also complaining all night about bad calls by the HP umpire against the Pirates' pitchers, almost none of which were actually in the strike zone, but when they got gift strikes they just seemed to accept it as their due. They're low key and inoffensive but I haven't heard TV announcers like that since the days of Hawk Harrelson, kind of like a mild mannered version of the late Celtics announcer Johnny Most.
Check that: The game is entering the sixth, not through six.
Let's update the unfortunate Pirates blowout board:
0-21 Cubs
0-16 Yanks (Pirates still batting, hope I've jinxed the Yanks into a 17-run inning)
2-19 Brewers
4-18 Cards
5-14 Cubs
1-11 Dodgers
0-9 Cubs
0-9 Cards
1-9 Cards
16 is only the 2nd most runs they've given up in July. 57 RA in their last 7 games, 30 scored ... naturally they are 4-3. At least the Cubs are a half-game ahead now.
this is obviously much more of a joke/travesty.
Aa Judge 30
Schwarber 27
Judge bats 2nd in the NYY lineup, while Schwarber mostly leads off. I suspect if these guys wind up pacing each league in HR, that a pair of 1-2 batters has accomplished that before.
