Did This Ever Happen Before....

MadCapper · Jun 14, 2004

Ben Sheets struck out the side on 9 pitches yesterday.......Its only the 32nd time that has happened....

B. Lidge struck out 4 Brewers in ONE inning yesterday....Its only the 47th time thats happened...

So....How many times have both those things happened in the SAME game?

Interesting, huh?

wouldnt you need 12 instead of 9 pitches to accomplish this feat??

No, you only need 9 pitches to strikeout the side.

Nanners, I think he is referring to Sheets striking out 3 on 9 pitches...

Lidge struck out 4 batters but was in a world of trouble in that inning...The first guy he struck out in the inning reached base on a passed ball. The bases were loaded with nobody out when Lidge then struck out the next 3 Brewers to kill my Milwaukee bet.

agreed.....but you would need more than 9 pitches to strike out 4 batters in one inning since one hitter would reach on a drop third strike

NANNERS===They are two DIFFERENT instances in the same game.

One guy struck out the side on 9 pitches........the other pitcher stuck out 4 in one inning.

ok i get it now...i was thinking along the lines of it happening in one instance by one pitcher, but now that i think of it....it could happen...two different occurrances in the same game...im with ya now
