cosmolinguistI try not to make my baseball posts complete gibberish for the 99.5% of you who don't understand what I'm talking about but some days I have to.
Today is one of those days, because I cannot possibly express how stunned I was, in this year of our Jacob Misiorowski 2026, to see the Minnesota Twins' Bailey Ober of all people throw not just a Maddux, which is pitching a whole game in less than a hundred pitches without giving up any runs, but he did it in less than ninety pitches.
Bailey Ober! He's pitching so slow that the Twins writer/podcaster I listen to has been doomy on him all season, because he was injured last year and his pitching is very slow now, which should make it a lot easier to hit.
Bailey Ober didn't throw a pitch over 89 miles an hour and he also won the game in 89 pitches!
That's not even just a Maddux, I think it should get to be its own thing. That's an Ober now, surely.
