Finally someone who can put the ball in play with runners on instead of striking out.

They were showing his stats as a professional baseball player. More walks than strikeouts. Every season at every level.

I was watching ithe 8th inning n bed last night

McGonigle's AB reminds me of Dave Bergman's 1984 AB vs. the Blue Jays on Monday Night Baseball.   13 pitchers.  Foul after foul after foul until he hit the game winning HR. 

The pitches he took.  This dude's the real deal, man.

That was a fun battle.   I'm actually going to rewatch that after I return from the protest today.

Kenley Jansen sounds like the name of a hot sorority girl, but in this case, nope. 

Especially one with her own million-follower glow-up podcast.

I meant to say "13 pitches" not "13 pitchers".  I had just woken up.     Like McGonigle, Bergman started out 0-2, worked the count full and then delivered. (SPOILER ALERT)

MLB TV does great recaps of every game. I'm really enjoying that app, again this season.
