Amazing the Blue Jays still hold the all-time record after all this time. That 1987 game against the Orioles was famously the end of Cal Ripken’s streak of 8,264 consecutive *innings* played: sabr.org/gamesproj/ga...

new @fangraphs.com: Tristan Peters, a former Savannah Banana — from the time when the team was in a wood-bat collegiate summer league — who was on nobody's radar as a prospect, has been one of the season's top rookies for the upstart White Sox

Scherzer is 20 strikeouts away from passing Verlander for 8th all time (assuming Verlander doesn't pitch again this season). Scherzer is averaging 3 to 4 strikeouts per start this season even including yesterday's 10 strikeout game. He has 4 starts remaining. It will be close!

Sarah Langs@slangsonsports.bsky.social · 4d ago

Most strikeouts all-time: 1. Nolan Ryan: 5,714 2. Randy Johnson: 4,875 3. Roger Clemens: 4,672 4. Steve Carlton: 4,136 5. Bert Blyleven: 3,701 6. Tom Seaver: 3,640 7. Don Sutton: 3,574 8. Justin Verlander: 3,554 9. Max Scherzer: 3,535 10. Gaylord Perry: 3,534

At 42 years and 34 days old, Max Scherzer is the oldest pitcher with 10+ strikeouts and 1 or no hits allowed in a game since Nolan Ryan on 5/1/91 (44y 90d, no-hitter) Scherzer and Ryan (6x) are the only pitchers with such an outing at age 42+ in MLB history

1992-08-28: One game doesn't make a whole season. Milwaukee pounds out an A.L. record 31 hits en route to a 22-2 win at SkyDome over Toronto. SABR brother @tomhawthorn.bsky.social described this peculiar night in the Games Project: sabr.org/gamesproj/ga... youtu.be/HDtgXZhQsXo?...

One of the more interesting displays was the unused tickets. 1987: best non-postseason Blue Jays team ever. The 1989 tickets (with Esplanade misspelled) would have been printed before September since they still featured the name of the late commissioner Bart Giamatti.

At the end of July, SABR Hanlan's Point Chapter and Northern Contemporary Gallery in Toronto held an evening art exhibition featuring the work of 10 artists. Here's some examples of baseball, creatively Interpreted and expressed by the artists.

1987-08-16: Lloyd Moseby steals first? against the White Sox at Exhibition Stadium in Toronto. Moseby technically was not credited with a stolen base of second - only an advancement due to the throwing error by CF (and future teammate) Ken Williams. youtu.be/YSLJu2tgOPc?...

Tommy John was a baseball pioneer who took a chance on a then-untested innovative surgery proposed by Dr. Frank Jobe. John's faith was rewarded when his torn left ulnar collateral ligament was replaced. He ended up pitching more years post-surgery than pre-surgery.

In SABR’s Baseball Research Journal, Stew Thornley laid out this exact scenario tonight in explaining the “fourth out” rule: sabr.org/journal/arti...

“They’re very rare, but we saw one tonight.” I am a better baseball fan for knowing about the “Fourth Out” play. Seems oxymoronic! And yet: www.bostonglobe.com/2026/08/10/s...

Based on his 2026 workload to date, Misiorowski will not pitch enough innings to strike out 300 batters this season. We peg him at 278 at the close of the regular season. Starters continue to pitch less and less per appearance.

Sarah Langs@slangsonsports.bsky.social · 4w ago

Fewest innings pitched to 200 strikeouts in a season: 2023 Spencer Strider: 123 1/3 IP 2026 Jacob Misiorowski: 129 1/3 IP 2022 Spencer Strider: 130 IP 2001 Randy Johnson: 130 2/3 IP h/t @EliasSports

Sharing this one again. I wanted to write a how-can-you-not-be-romantic-about-baseball-style story about my beloved Maple Leafs, the professional-ish team that plays in the same playground as my 9-year-old. Then they signed former all-star/convicted criminal Yasiel Puig. thelocal.to/yasiel-puig-...

A free Maple Leafs baseball game at my local playground has long been the best community event in the city. Then the team signed a former Major League Baseball star awaiting sentencing.
