I'm not able to watch the game, what happened after he got it?

FP busted a nut and Bob's shirt paid the price

Fans went nuts. He waved. Vark had to be sedated.

Very cool to watch

Yep. Another historic moment at Nats Park.

Mitlen got so excited that when he jumped into the air, he spilled his drink on SpiderNat

Max is going to go for the record. You know he is. Six more to beat Pedro? He's going for it, lst game of the season.

[spidernat]

I'd like to see him beat out Martinez' record of 305 but I get the feeling he is done for the season.

We'll see. He'll build up a head of steam for six more, I'll bet.

[GburgNatsFan]

What record. I’m At the park and need someone to do my research.lol

Pedro Martinez's 305.

Sunday would be Max on normal rest.

This to me needs to be the move. Honestly, they need to re-evaluate how they use him. I know he wants to go for  a CG,  but it clearly wears on him. Rizzo needs to work on improving the pen more.

Pedro Martinez's 305.

Great. Can someone post the list of pitchers with 300 plus.

Do your own freaking research!

That’s a good man. Thanks.

Most of those guys did it in the era of four man rotations and no relievers.

Harper loafing again...

[spidernat]

That’s a good man. Thanks.

see the update for the number of times  each did it

[spidernat]

Harper loafing again...

He wanted to slow down Rendon's RBI number

Harper loafing again...

You just never stop.

That’s a good man. Thanks.

They also did it in an era when teams didn't put up with guys striking out 150 times.  This is the third 300-K season in the last 4 years, which says enough.

Good point.

[Mathguy]

Do you really want an answer to that question ?

Exactly. Guys are striking out at record pace in today's game.




BiL was trying to find a reason to make the feat, an impressive one on its own merit, even more impressive.



And Scherzer would break down by the start of August if he had to pitch in a 4 man rotation and had to pitch deeper into games.
