Let’s switch gears and let’s talk about triple doubles, and no, not that one that you’re thinking about, but rather a pitcher’s triple double in baseball. And before I start, I want to say this is not an official term, and I’m pretty sure that I made it up, but who knows, I’m sure someone else out there has said this before, and I hope they have. Because I phrase this as when a pitcher gives up 10 runs, 10 hits, and 10 to earn runs in a game. This instance is becoming more rare than ever, as pitchers seem to be on thinner leashes than ever before, but fondly enough, this actually occurred recently with Patrick Corbin vs. the Diamondbacks. In just a whopping 3 innings of work, Patrick Corbin would give up 13 hits, 11 runs, and 10 of those were earned runs against him. And I mean, come on, if it had to be any pitcher to have this statline, of course it was Nationals legend Patrick Corbin. It felt like the perfect mix, a pitcher who isn’t that great, but got paid a lot of money, was just trying to get through the game, and well, he got hit around pretty badly in just 3 innings of work, but the Nationals weren’t in a position to really bring out the bullpen, so they tried to hold on as long as possible. They eventually pulled him, and well, the game was already over by that point, but what Patrick Corbin left behind was these types of screenshots that show us a pitcher’s triple double. And from here on out, I implore everyone, please look out for extra poor performances by pitchers, and maybe look and see if they could qualify for being a pitcher’s triple double. It’ll take a lot of work, and it’ll take a lot of suck, but hopefully, every once in a while, this will pop up. Let’s stick with pitchers, because pitching statlines honestly are truly some of the ones that can broadcast the highest of highs and lowest of lows in all of sport. But what happens if you combine these two? Well, then you’ll probably get Edwin Jackson’s 2010 no-hitter vs. the Rays. For most pitchers, 8 walks in a game would absolutely derail your performance, leading to an early exit. However, this would not be the case for Edwin Jackson, as he pitched 149 pitches in this game, leading to his no-hitter, all while having 8 walks. So two things to this game happen that almost never happen in today’s league anymore. First off, 149 pitches seems absolutely impossible, as the new limit no matter what is set around 100, and let’s say 115 is the absolute max player should go, depending on if they have a no-hitter going or not. And furthermore, as a society. Unfortunately, we all agree that if you walk 8 people in a game, well, that’s just not your best effort on the mound, and even further as a society, we love a no-hitter. So when we have a no-hitter combined with 8 walks, we’re left with only one question. Was that actually a good game? And well, for the sake of this video, I love some positivity, and you know, sure, I’d like to think that Edwin Jackson’s game on that very night was, you know, a great performance. But you guys can be the judge on that one.
