Mason Miller this season: Balls: 20 Strikeouts: 19



Mason Miller. 10 pitches. 3 strikeouts. 103 with THAT slider isn’t fair. 😳

A walk, stolen base and an error and the Dores are up by two. 📺 @SECNetwork

@RossDellenger The Ninth Circuit win matters, but the bigger story may be what it signals. Moving to an age-based eligibility model looks like the NCAA trying to litigation-proof a framework that courts keep picking apart on a case by case basis.



This is not baseball.

It sucks that a hitter has to feel like he’s in danger because he owns a pitcher

James Wood's 1st inning single was hit 116.0 MPH, the hardest hit ball of the season by Wood. Where it ranks in MLB this season: Ketel Marte - 116.9 (Out) Junior Caminero - 116.9 (Single) Giancarlo Stanton - 116.3 (Single) Jac Caglianone - 116.1 (Single) James Wood - 116.0 (Single)

Jorge Soler and Reynaldo Lopez throw punches after an up-and-in pitch Soler was hit the previous AB.




Not enough people talk about Mark Mulder • 103-60 (.632 W-L), 4.18 ERA, 106 ERA+ • 2x ASG, 25 CG, 10 SHO, 20.0 WAR • Led the AL with 21 wins in 2001 • One of Oakland's "Big Three" • (Along with Hudson, Zito) • Reached 5.6 WAR 2x • Topped 200 IP 4x • CYA runner-up in 2001 • 2x CG leader, 2x SHO leader • 2.34 ERA in 42.1 postseason IP • More SHO than Justin Verlander • DOUBLE the CG & SHO of Scherzer • Has been an elite golfer in retirement • Hit .280/.400/.480 as a batter in 2006 • Top Similarity Score: Eduardo Rodriguez • Had a 7.73 ERA after age 28 due to injuries • Attempted a comeback with Anaheim in 2014 • In 2001, Mulder authored 1 of 16 player-seasons since 1980 with at least 21 wins and 4 shutouts, becoming the first pitcher to do so since "Black Jack" McDowell in 1993



The baseball punch is revolutionary for Baseball brawls You get hit clean with a stone like that it will put you down Lopez just changed the game
