Warhead36 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 5 minutes ago, @SkinsGoldPants said: 3 picks, 3 pitchers. Makes sense. Fedde will be up soonish. You have Crowe there. Romero is a crap shoot. Then the rest of your top prospects aren't pitchers. Rizzo seems to prefer taking Ps early in the draft. I think the idea is: you get a bunch of them, and hope 1 or 2 pan out. And pitching prospects always seem to fetch more than hitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PleaseBlitz Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Good sequence for Difo there. RBI triple to score Soto. Steals home on a wild pitch that was marginal to take home on, but 2 outs and 1-2 count to the 9th hitter (even tho Scherz is hitting .300).

Forehead Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Pop quiz...what is less common, a no hitter or an immaculate inning? Also, was reviewing the draft picks....we certainly went pitching heavy, but some intriguing possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like Rizzo said enough with this trading players for bullpen arms ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The immaculate inning is more rare, but a no hitter is still harder to accomplish since it requires dominance over nine innings, not one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 28 minutes ago, PleaseBlitz said: Not sure you can get 9 strikeouts in one (half) inning, Sporting News. It's possible. Hugely unlikely, and has never happened in MLB, but theoretically possible, because of the uncaught third strike rule.. Passed ball or wild pitch on strike three six times plus three regular strikeouts. But the most Ks in the majors in a half inning is 4. And there have been a surprising number of pitchers who have struck out 4 batters in one half inning... it's happened 40 times in the AL and 49 times in the NL. http://www.baseball-almanac.com/feats/feats19.shtml A bit more rare is pitchers who have struck out 4 consecutive batters in one-half inning: In the American League, the following pitchers struck out all four batters in consecutive order: Scott Baker, A.J. Burnett, Mike Cuellar, Mike Paxton, Bobby Witt, Kevin Appier, Wilson Alvarez, Chuck Finley, Kazuhiro Sasaki, Justin Masterson, Jeremy Hellickson, Ryan Cook, Steve Delabar, Phil Hughes, Alex Cobb, Nathan Karns, and Craig Kimbrel. In the National League, the following pitchers struck out all four batters in consecutive order: Ed Crane, Hooks Wiltse, Jim Davis, Pete Richert, Don Drysdale, Bill Bonham, Kirt Ojala, Steve Kline, Octavio Dotel, Jason Berken, Craig Kimbrel, Zack Greinke, and Kenley Jansen. How about 5 strikeouts in one inning? It's never happened in MLB, but it has happened in the minors at least a couple of times. Charleston River Dogs reliever Andrew Schwaab did it in 2016. He also gave up 4 runs that inning: https://www.mlb.com/cut4/minor-league-team-strikes-out-five-batters-in-one-inning/c-173799136 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
