Ground balls kill hitters & the 17 highest Pitcher Game Scores in MLB history - Ep. 713 - 6.15.26

Send us Fan Mail Shohei Ohtani is on his way to his 5th MVP (in six seasons). He has the lowest ERA and highest OPS+ in the NL - not even HOFer Babe Ruth did that in the same season!  We talk about the rash of injuries to stars including Jose Ramirez, Ronald Acuna Jr., and Spencer Strider. Jacob Misiorowski pitched a game for the ages and Mark tells you why when it comes to pitcher game score.  Ground balls are more deadly to hitters today as hitting the ball in the air means everything!  Gordon tells you what that's all about.  Thanks again to Mercury Maid for the Intro & Outro music.
