@PavlovicNBCS Get in price for tonight: $9

[Box Score Sports @_theboxscore]

White Sox pitcher Anthony Kay is on pace to make MLB history this year, and literally no one is talking about it

Most HBP in a season, since 1920:

Austin Adams 24 in 2021

Howard Ehmke 23 in 1922

Anthony Kay 21 through 24 starts in 2026

He can shatter this record

[Box Score Sports @_theboxscore]

I just Google workhorse and it showed a picture of Mike Marshall

He pitched in 106 games in 1974

Only guy to be on the mound in more than 100 games in a season ever

Only 2 guys have crossed 90 games pitched in the last 50 years

Absolute workhorse

[Box Score Sports @_theboxscore]

@Laza_Bautista On June 21 2021 he was 7-2 with 0.50 ERA

117Ks and 10 walks through 12 starts

[Box Score Sports @_theboxscore]

@hallofgoodpod Is 139 career hits the fewest ever by an all star?

[Box Score Sports @_theboxscore]

@BontaHill Unfortunately they should have sold harder

dump devers, Chapman, adames

Dump the entire pitching staff

Blow the whole thing up. Bring up some young guys and try again

[Box Score Sports @_theboxscore]

@MichaelOleszek @baseballisdead_ I assume most are dudes blowing a hamstring on the way to first or something

[Box Score Sports @_theboxscore]

@VinnysCorner1 Let me get legend Mike Cameron

[Box Score Sports @_theboxscore]

@BBGreatMoments Since 04 the closest has been:

238 in 07
225 in 09
224 in 06

All also by Ichiro

There’s also only been 47 200 hit seasons since 2004 by players not named Ichiro

[Box Score Sports @_theboxscore]

@BowenGao8 @baseballisdead_ I think there’s been a lot of 9-3s

Can’t say I’ve ever seen an 8-3 or 7-3 though

[Box Score Sports @_theboxscore]

@CodifyBaseball Welcome back 05-08 Jose Reyes

[Box Score Sports @_theboxscore]

@RGIII Only thing worse than giving him a quarter billion dollars is starting him over Sanders

Give the fans something to be excited for

[Box Score Sports @_theboxscore]

@hallofgoodpod 500+ hits through his age 22 season

I thought he was gonna be an all time great

[Box Score Sports @_theboxscore]

I would bet almost no one could guess which player has thrown the most pitches in a single game since 2020

Only 1 guy has tossed over 130 pitches and it’s absolutely not who you would think it is

Any guesses?

@sam____114 @baseballisdead_ Good catch

I’d bet there’s never been a 5-7-3 before either

[Box Score Sports @_theboxscore]

@Super70sSports Only one right answer here

Most hits by a 2b not in the hall of fame

Julio Franco

[Box Score Sports @_theboxscore]

@SleeperSFGiants Mr lied about his age Miguel Tejada

[Box Score Sports @_theboxscore]

@TJStats As a giants fan this is tough

[Box Score Sports @_theboxscore]

@notgaetti If Bobby Witt gets stronger I could see him getting close

Seems like a lock for 400 steals but 400 home runs would be a stretch
