Gio Gonzalez

One hit, five walks, uh, to do that in the wild card era postseason outing.

Uh, Cristian Javier, Ian Anderson, Aníbal Sánchez, Gio González, Paul Abbott, and David Cone.

Cade Smith, he's the first pitcher on record to rack up five strikeouts in 20 or fewer pitches in a postseason outing.

Joe Adell, he's the first player in Cleveland franchise history to have a triple in, uh, consecutive postseason games, and he is the sixth player with a triple in consecutive games within a single postseason in the wild card era.

He ties, he's tied now with Jim Thome, David Ortiz, and Aaron Judge for 16th all-time.

Uh, Blake Snell is also the first pitcher with 12 or more walks over a three-start span in a postseason since Jake Arrieta did so in '16 to '17, and the only lefties in the NL to do that over a three-start span in the wild card era are Snell, Gio Gonzalez, Tom Glavine, and Al Leiter.

Um, and just kind of not really a nugs.

Well, sort of a nug, but if you combine what Ray Kerr and Didier Fuentes did in Game 2, six and a third, three hits, one run, one walk, seven strikeouts.

He got no decision.

Gio Gonzalez, uh, comes in as the Nationals' starter.

He's got a 1.15 ERA over 31 and a third innings pitched.

Um, a, a quick thing to note about two of the guys who are currently, uh, the best, two of the best pitchers this season, uh, respectively Hammel and Gio Gonzalez, after the numbers I just read, their rest of season ERAs were 4.36 and 5.30.

Yeah, yeah, things changed.

[laughs]

This was a, this is a bad season for Gio Gonzalez.

Yeah, and look, what we'll say about Gio Gonzalez, Gio Gonzalez is probably one of those names that probably scratches somewhere deep in baseball fans' brain because there was a period where he was very, very, very good, and it was particularly his, like, final season with the Oakland A's and most importantly, his first season at the Washington Nationals.

They each did it six times.

And then it's Gio Gonzalez for one year, Patrick Corbin for one year, and then Cade Cavalli this year.

So Cavalli and Alvarez, and I'm not trying to say that Alvarez's season compares to Cavalli's because obviously Cade took it way beyond any of that.

But in terms of At least throwing 100 innings, so you've been a starter for a good chunk of the season, maintaining a good, solid ERA under .350, and striking guys out at that rate.

He looks like a pirate.

You got Gio Gonzalez.

Okay.

J.T. Realmuto.

[laughs]

I swear.

Gio Gonzalez-

Of course

The first of them was in April 2009, a five-year reported $45 million extension.

Gio Gonzalez signed a contract extension with the Nats, and that's got him in December 2011.

And then in January 2012, signed Gonzalez to a five-year reported $42 million contract extension.

And then nothing will ever top The shocking news of May 2016, the Nats signing starting pitcher Steven Strasburg to a contract extension.

There are others who might fit that description.

I want to go back real quick.

I'm glad you mentioned Gio Gonzalez.

I'd forgotten about that one.

Brenna Rhodes, the lone winner at No. 3 singles for the Golden Beavers.

Gio Gonzalez scored Beaverdam's only goal in boys soccer.

They fall to Watertown 4-1.

A couple of girls volleyball scores.

Brenna Rhodes at number three singles picked up the only Golden Beaver victory.

Boys soccer, Watertown has stopped Beaverdam 4-1.

Gio Gonzalez scored the Golden Beavers lone goal.

We didn't get any stats from Watertown.

Jeremy Irons.

Well, then Gio Gonzalez, the former A's lefty.

Yeah.

As you well remember.
