The Washington Nationals just threw 77 pitches in the bottom of the 3rd inning. It's the most pitches by any team in any inning of any game in the entire pitch tracking era (2008-now).
@CodifyBaseball Greg Maddux threw a 78 pitch complete game shutout
@CodifyBaseball The Yankees sent 15 batters to the plate in the inning, scoring nine runs on eight hits, three walks and, of all things, a catcher’s interference call. The inning lasted a whopping 41 minutes.
@CodifyBaseball You said HOW MANY?
@CodifyBaseball The most wild part of this is pitch tracking started in 2008
@CodifyBaseball If Anthony Volpe wasn’t playing the inning might have never ended
@CodifyBaseball I’ve coached youth baseball innings that challenged this record
@CodifyBaseball They've thrown 164 pitches through 5 innings. What the most pitches thrown in a game by one team?
@CodifyBaseball @TheRayFlowers Greg Maddux just slowly shakes his head and walks away.
@CodifyBaseball How did the pitch tracking era begin in 2008? Feel like this is something that could have been done in 1876
@CodifyBaseball And Anthony Volpe accounted for two of the three outs in the inning!
@CodifyBaseball It takes a lot of balls to try a stunt like that amirite
@CodifyBaseball Cade Cavalli's ERA goes from 2.82 to 5.11 after 2 1/3 innings this afternoon.
@CodifyBaseball The fact we’ve only been tracking since 2008 is a bit mind boggling.
@CodifyBaseball Thank gawd it wasn’t the Rockies pitchers. 💜
@CodifyBaseball Wasn't watching this one. I'll bet it's breakdown worthy cc @Jomboy_
@CodifyBaseball As they are hammering home on the telecast. No class anymore especially O’Neill. Although Ruocco isn’t far behind. What an unlistenable telecast Yankee baseball has become. The booth wasn’t too funny when the Red Sox were blowing their doors off. How come?
@CodifyBaseball @LONTDC1 Babes….. We set a record 🥲
@CodifyBaseball How was this not the game we were at @JohnBoynton_III
@CodifyBaseball They were definitely counting pitches in 80s and 90s. Using the pitch track era is arbitrary in this example.
@CodifyBaseball That same pitcher literally owned the Phillies. And yet the Yankees smacked him around. Love to see it
@CodifyBaseball Pretty clear that Dave Martinez was NOT the problem in Washington...
@CodifyBaseball They’ve only been tracking pitches since 2008?
@CodifyBaseball Taking pitches? Getting on base? Billy Beane approves.
