• Apologies … Operator Error
In the recent (June 1), Baseball Roundtable May Wrap Up post, the last round of edits was not incorporated. This has not happened before, so I am quite sure it’s operator error. (Like I, perhaps, didn’t hit “Update” after the edits.) This led to some errors (mosly typos) like Chase Burns being “Chase Burns” in […] The post Apologies … Operator Error appeared first on Baseball Roundtab...2026

• A Update on MLB Madduxes… Those 99-or-Fewer-Pitch Shutouts

Yesterday (May 12), the Twins’ 6′ 9″ righty Bailey Ober pitched the first shutout of his six-season MLB career (his third complete game) – and he did it in stellar fashion. Ober twirled an uncommon gem, now commonly termed a “Maddux” – designated as a single-pitcher shutout of at least nine innings in which the […] The post A Update on MLB Madduxes… Those 99-o...2026

• Who’s Your Daddy? … Episode 18 … Hoyt Wilhelm

Welcome to the 18th post in the Baseball Roundtable’s “Who’s Your Daddy?” series, where we take a look at Roundtable-selected lineups that performed exceptionally well against some of MLB’s greatest pitchers. As always, I would stress that the pitchers included in the Who’s Your Daddy? series are among the “best in the business.” They are […] The post Who’s Your Daddy? … Episod...2023

• From Bob Gibson to Jason Dickson … Some Stories about Pitchers Who Gave Up Homers to the First MLB Batters They Faced

On Sunday (August 6). Reds’23-year-old righty Lyon Richardson made his MLB debut – starting against the Nationals in Cincinnati. His performance, while not what he had hoped for, did attract the attention of baseball trivia buffs. Richardson started his MLB career by giving up home runs on each of his first two MLB pitches – […] The post From Bob Gibson to Jason Dickson … Some Storie...2023

• Some August 4 Musings Focused on Travel and Trades

It seemed appropriate to celebrate my (76th) birthday (August 4) with a blog post. So, I looked for some kind of theme from baseball events that took place on August 4 in years past – at least as a starting point. As regular readers know, when The Roundtable starts looking into an event or topic […] The post Some August 4 Musings Focused on Travel and Trades appeared first on Baseball Round...2023
• A Six-Pack of Hit ‘Em Out/Strike ‘Em Out
Yesterday (June 27, 2023), the Angels’ Shohei Ohtani started on the mound and, as usual, was in the lineup at Designated Hitter. Ohtani picked up the win – running his record to 7-3, 3.02 – going 6 1/3 innings and striking out ten batters. At the plate he went three-for-three, with a walk and a […] The post A Six-Pack of Hit ‘Em Out/Strike ‘Em Out appeared first on Baseball Rou...2023

• Ken Brett’s Big Day … Double Duty in a Doubleheader
On this date (May 27) in 1974, MLB saw something we’re not likely to see again. It involved a series of currently somewhat rare occurrences: a doubleheader, a complete-game shutout, a pitcher in the starting offensive lineup and a pitcher tripling as a pinch hitter (driving in the tying runs and scoring the go-ahead run).
