Randy Johnson had one of the most devastating fastballs of all-time
But OTD in 2008, he accidentally threw an eephus pitch after a boat in McCovey Cove sounded its horn 😂
CJ Abrams is the hottest hitter on the planet. Post-All-Star break, Abrams leads MLB in OPS (1.632), HR (7) and RBIs (15). He has more homers by himself in the second half than the Blue Jays, Orioles, Mariners, Twins, White Sox, Cardinals and Angels.
Corbin Carroll’s 55 triples tie Starling Marte and Mike Trout for most among active players. It was Carroll’s 587th game — the other 2 have played 1,500+ games
Only other player in MLB history with 55+ triples & 85+ HR thru 587 games, like Carroll:
Lou Gehrig
What an incredible journey for Gerardo 🥹
The @dbacks have recalled RHP Gerardo Carrillo from Triple-A Reno!
After signing with the Dodgers over 10 years ago, Carrillo is on the cusp of his MLB debut!
