An all-time pitching performance by Jacob Misiorowski. He threw a one-hit Maddux and punched 15. The most in a >99-pitch shutout before was Tarik Skubal's 13. This is Miz finding out in real time what he can be. The velocity is mind-bending. All of it is.

I figured out how to post video. I forgot how to use the greater-than and less-than sign. What I meant was: under 100 pitches. Misiorowski did it in 95. The efficiency -- 74 strikes -- and the sheer dominance of it all. It doesn't matter who it was. No one is hitting that.

This is the second long-term deal Milwaukee has done this season with a player before his big league debut, following the eight-year, $50.75 million contract shortstop Cooper Pratt agreed to early in the season. Pratt remains at Triple-A, as will Lara for the time being.

Don't step on the foul line. Don't ever talk about a no-hitter. Eat chicken every day. Break up a slump with a golden thong. Wear a rally cap. Brush your teeth between innings.
Sports is full of superstitions -- and none more so than baseball. So we talked with the king of 'em.

Here is the full Superstition Episode, with incredible stories from Turk Wendell, who chewed black licorice, brushed his teeth mid-inning, leapt over the line, spiked rosin bags and wore No. 99 — and was way ahead of his time in a routine-obsessed game: youtube.com/watch?v=vY0_YZUu…

Tarik Skubal underwent elbow surgery May 6.
One month and one day later, he threw five scoreless innings on 54 pitches and punched out six at High-A.
Maybe Skubal is just that guy, but if nanoscope technology halves the return time from bone-chip injuries, what an advancement.

Detroit ace Tarik Skubal will undergo surgery to remove loose bodies in his left elbow. Such procedures typically sideline players for 2-3 months. Skubal should return before season's end, but a tough blow for the impending free agent and two-time reigning AL Cy Young winner.

Following six more scoreless innings tonight, Shohei Ohtani's ERA is 0.74. Through 10 starts, the lowest ERAs in major league history:
Jacob deGrom, 2021: 0.56
Juan Marichal, 1966: 0.59
Shohei Ohtani, 2026: 0.74
Hitters are slashing .144/.224/.211 against him. Just incredible.

Keith Hernandez was the king of New York in the 1980s. No one could resist him, whether it was bouncers at the China Club, Elaine Benes or the New York Mets fans that revered him as the captain of the 1986 World Series champions.

The MLBPA, as you might expect, is not happy with the league’s cap proposal: espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/4894…
