A Sunday of pacifism
HBPs of note: August 23, 2009
There was a full slate of 15 major league games yesterday, but only three batters got hit by pitches. There hasn't been a Sunday with a full day of baseball scheduled and that few plunks since July 15, 2007.
Josh Willingham got hit by Carlos Villanueva in Washington, marking Willingham's 55th career HBP and his 12th of the season. At Coors Field, Chris Iannetta got hit by Tim Lincecum and Clint Barmes was plunked by Sergio Romo. For Barmes, that was the 30th of his career, and his 20th at Coors field. It was also the 888th plunk in Coors Field History. Tim Lincecum has only thrown 12 plunks in his career, but that was the 2nd time he hit Iannetta. He's also hit Kevin Kouzmanoff twice, so he's only hit 10 batters with his first 12 plunks.
The Florida Marlins are still stuck on 997 plunks in franchise history.
