Gausman...strikes out the side on 9 pitches

[Moose Milligan]

Impressive stuff.  How's that for an efficient inning?

How many times has this happened in Orioles history?  Who's done it the most?  I'd try to look it up but I don't know where to start.

Gary sang the Immaculata to it.

They said on the radio it has only been done 85 times in major league history.  I would have bet the over on that.

I think a highly disproportion amount have been in the last decade.

Wikipedia says 95, the Cleveland stat crew said #90, so

Somehow I get the feeling an O's pitcher could pitch a no-hitter and we'd go extra innings. 90% of our hitters suck right now.

Mussina, Key, BJ Ryan

If he were really good he'd strike out the sides on 8 pitches. That's the kind of pitching I'm looking to see.

Three true outcomes

Impressive...but I think Kevin is just one of those unlucky pitchers who seemingly often just ends up losing no matter what.   If there is a game where one pitcher gives up 2 runs and the other guy gives up one...well, Kevin is seemingly always the first guy. 

And if there is a game where the other guy gives up 5, then Kevin gives up 6.

I'd prefer three pitches and three pop ups to the catcher.

Sure, and 4 homers is better than hitting for the cycle.   But it's still something relatively rare and unique and worth talking about.

Not if Sisco is playing!

Nobody would argue that four home runs is not far better than hitting for the cycle. A lot of people would say that an immaculate inning is far superior to a three pitch inning.
