May 2024 MLB Gamethread

The thing about Rahman is after he knocked out Lewis - and the narrative was lucky shot and untrained Lennox too busy making movies with Pitt and Clooney - his people let him down and didn’t notice the rematch was rescheduled for Ramadan. So, he’d been fasting all leading up to the fight.

Really good fighter. In that Riddick Bowe category of what if great American heavyweights.

Darvish consecutive scoreless innings streak now at 25 IP after he threw 7 shutout innings tonight vs ATL. He became the 3rd pitcher to get 200 combined wins in NPB/MLB, after Hideo Nomo (203) and Hiroki Kuroda (201).

Tim Wakefield also has 200 combined wins

Phils beat the Rangers 5-2 behind Ranger Suarez, who went 7 IP 5 H 1 ER 2 BB 10 K to go 9-0 with a 1.36 ERA. He becomes the first Phillies pitcher to start a season 9-0 since...GROVER CLEVELAND ALEXANDER in 1913. (This is among the reasons why I love baseball.)

The Phils are 27-6 over their last 33 games.

Oneil Cruz just hit a 121.5 mph double.

Oneil Cruz just hit a 121.5 mph double.

The game-tying double was Cruz’s third batted ball event over 115 mph in tonight’s game and second over 120 mph, both firsts for the Statcast era.

He's going to kill a pitcher one day.
