Inge plunked for 14th time this year
HBPs of note: August 10, 2009
Brandon Inge got hit by Ramon Ramirez last night, pushing Inge's season total to 14. He's now 1 plunk behind American League plunk leader Kelly Shoppach in the race for the AL's most plunkable player award. He's also just 3 plunks behind Chase Utley for the overall season lead. It should be an interesting race the rest of the year.
Esmailin Caridad made his major league debut last night, pitching for the Rockies, and became the 16th pitcher this season to hit a batter in his debut. However, he was fairly patient about dealing his first plunk, waiting until the 6th batter he faced to throw it. No rookie has hit the first Major League batter they faced this year, but a couple of pitchers hit the 2nd batter. Caridad was the 427th pitcher to hit a batter this year, though just the 11th for the Rockies. Only Oakland has fewer pitchers with at least one hit batter this season, with 10.
