Funny how you think you've seen it all and then something else happens you didn't think was possible.
Last year, a pitcher got the win without throwing a pitch.
Today, a pitcher threw two pitches without facing a batter.
Huh??
It happened. Anyone know how?
Reminds me of another baseball trivia/oddball question. What's the most amount of hits a team can get in one inning without scoring a run?? How's it done??
I'll check back in to see how long it takes you guys to figure these three things out.

That happened today in the Cin-Hou game when the pitcher was ejected with the count at 3-1 and the reliever came in and threw ball four after throwing a strike. The walk was charged to the ejected pitcher.

Yes, that's another possible scenario.

The first three batters get hits - that's 3.
Then two runners (runner on third and second) are picked off - that's 3 hits and 2 outs.
That leaves one runner on first base.
Then there is two more hits with no one scoring.
Then, the third out.
Am I right?

The first two guys hit triples and get thrown out at the plate trying for an inside the park homer. The next three guys get singles with the runners only advancing one base. The next batter hits a ball that hits one of the runners in fair territory. Although an out is recorded, the batter is credited with a single I believe.

Right Keith!!
An oddball scoring rule makes the answer six.
Grote and Brian, right on.
Brian, what you described is what happened to a pitcher last year. He entered the game with a runner on and the game tied and picked off the runner on first BEFORE HE EVER THREW A PITCH. His team went on to take the lead the bottom half of the inning and another pitcher was brought in. So he got credit for the win WITHOUT THROWING A PITCH.
Odd stuff I thought. Like I said, I see and learn something new everyday.

That's how the Red Sox do it, seemingly every game!
