Open Thread: Game 120 - A's vs. Rays (Cont.)

As_kings_cal_tiny by louismg on Comment 220 comments

The Streak is over. Brad Ziegler's scoreless start to his career is over at 39 innings.

But rather than dump him with the loss, the veteran Big Hurt, with a career that's spanned a tad longer than 39 innings, bailed him out with an RBI single in the 9th to tie things up. We go to the 10th, tied 5-5. Huston Street in.

Go A's!

Because it deserves mentioning twice

From May 11 to today, Ziggy gave up 0 runs in 47 2/3 innings in between AAA and the majors. He pitched in 36 straight games without allowing a run. If Frank hadn’t tied it up, the A’s would have broken my heart.

Nope. It goes back to the technicality that he has to either finish the inning or leave with...

…nobody on base or anyone he’s responsible for not scoring.

So, it reverts back to the last full inning, his 39th.

It does when you think about it more

It took him 39 1/3 innings before he allowed a run charged to him, yes, but that’s just not how this record is tracked. It’s based on completed appearances, basically. His line isn’t complete until the book on him for that game is closed.

I wrote this elsewhere. A quick look at Ziegler's streak. He:
  • demolished the record for scoreless innings to start a career (previous record: 25 innings by George McQuillan of the Phillies in 1907)
  • set a new Oakland record (previous record: 37 innings by Mike Torrez in 1976)
  • tied the mark for scoreless innings by a relief pitcher, with a caveat (record: 39 innings by Al Benton of the Indians in 1949, though he allowed runs during that stretch as a starter. J.C. Romero of the Twins had a streak of 36 innings as a reliever with the Twins in 2004)
  • tied for second for scoreless innings by a rookie (Christy Mathewson also had 39 for the Giants in 1901, passed only by Grover Cleveland Alexander’s 41 innings with the Phillies in 1911)

Any way you look at it, this is a remarkable streak for anyone at any time. Coming to start a career is even more amazing.

Congratulations, Brad Ziegler!
