Lackey one away from Angels record
HBPs of note : July 12, 2009
Angels starter John Lackey beat the Yankees yesterday, which is always nice, but he also hit Jose Molina with a pitch. That's generally not considered to be nice, but it was significant. It was the 70th plunk John Lackey has ever thrown, and the Angels career franchise record currently stands at 71 by Chuck Finley. However, Lackey ought to be careful because Dave Bush tied the Brewers career record for plunks earlier this season, and has been on the DL ever since. AND, Jake Peavy has been stuck on the disable list ever since he got within 1 hit batter of the Padres career record.
Jason Bay got hit twice yesterday, bringing his career total to 43. That was his first multi-plunk game since August 18, 2005. Bay is the 2nd most plunked player in baseball history whose last name starts with Bay. (Bay reached base four consecutive times yesterday without bothering to swinging his bat. He didn't actually use his bat until the 8th inning, when he missed once, fouled off two pitches, and then got plunked for the 2nd time.)
Jose Guillen got hit for the 130th time in his career. He's the all time HBP leader from the Dominican Republic, and has a 26 plunk lead on Miguel Tejada among his countrymen.
Miguel Cabrera got his 30th career HBP.
