Harden’s unique
Eric Seidman has a Fangraphs post about Rich Harden’s fascinating start against the Rockies. According to ESPN (and Eric), Harden’s total number of batters faced equaled his total of strikeouts, walks and hits allowed. This has been done before, of course, but never by anyone facing as many batters as Harden did on Wednesday.
Dave Studeman was called a "national treasure" by Rob Neyer. Seriously. Follow his sporadic tweets @dastudes.
