I couldn’t help but to take a look at the box for yesterday’s 24-2 Reds/Orioles final. I was a little surprised to see that the Reds scored those 24 runs on “only” 25 hits. A closer look revealed that they were also gifted 11 BB’s and amassed 44 TB’s during the game…Haha!
10.89
16.88
11.32
45.00
36.00The season ERA’s for the 5 Oriole pitchers who were thrown to the lions on Easter Sunday.
Unassisted GIDP by the 1B’man. That’s somewhat rare.
This reminds me of something I read a couple days ago, so I’ll throw it out as a trivia question. Shouldn’t be too hard. It was described as the rarest play in baseball. Has happened even fewer times than a perfect game. What is it?
Fedde at 84 pitches with the bottom three due up. Dom, I’d let him try to go thru their order 3 times.
I guess everyone took notice when in the 3rd inning Donovan laid down a sac bunt with no outs to push Contreras over to 2B and into scoring position. Maybe this is a silly question, but since when does your 3 slot hitter lay down a sac-bunt with 0 outs with his team leading by a score of 2-0 in the 3rd inning? That’s right…the 3 slot hitter. We’re watching a team led by a manager and coaches who exist in some sort of alternate baseball universe. It’s not at all unlike some sort of eerie Rod Serling type baseball dimension…If I didn’t know better, I’d guess that Timothy Leary was situated on the top step of the Redbird dugout. It’s WAY out there, man!
Unassisted triple play?
Outstanding, Jnevel.
And now for full credit, name the 15 guys who have pulled off this feat…and no cheating/googling, haha!
Just kidding.
That surprises me. Although the circumstances would obviously have to be near perfect in order to place the play into the box score, if someone would have asked, I would have guessed that there’s been more than 15 unassisted triple plays.
