MLB 2022: The Long and Winding Thread

Guardians vs. White Sox Postponed; Terry Francona Among Positive COVID-19 Tests

 

Don't think I've ever seen a Dodgers pitcher labor as hard as today's starter did today at Pittsburgh.

Seemed like the threw 125 pitches thru 3 but it was just 77 ... and 0 runs.

Most cycles (3) in MLB history.

 

The Blue Jays franchise has two.

 

ROBOT UMPS NOW!

 

I’m going to keep banging the robot ump drum until it happens.

Jim McCormick, Bobby Wallace, Ozzie Smith, Robin Yount, Luke Appling, Arky Vaughan, Brooks Robinson
