I keep getting a count of 39 batters, not 38. If he opened the inning and pitched 1.0 innings, he should've faced 3 batters. So that makes 12 consecutive appearances without allowing a baserunner (36 batters), then he retired the last 3 batters he faced vs Cleveland (39 batters). Where is the missing batter?

I was at the game last night and Bobby was topping out at 95 consistently. Hey, 95 is still smokin. I'd rather see him "pitch" then rely on 100MPH, which I think is a parlor trick that either a) batters will eventually figure out or B) ruin his arm.

I counted out the same thing, but assumed that the play-by-play was incorrect. Weird.

 

(EDIT: Maybe a Sox pitcher allowed a batter to reach base and then Jenks came in, faced 2 batters, and got a GIDP?)

Yep, vs Detroit:

 

9th Inning

Matt Thornton pitching for Chicago

S Casey singled to center.

B Inge ran for S Casey.

B Jenks relieved M Thornton.

M Hessman flied out to left.

B Inge stole second.

M Rabelo lined into double play, second to shortstop, B Inge doubled off second.

 

So 38 it is.

to me this record is not getting nearly enough national attention.....can you imagine how much espn would be all over this had it been papelbon or rivera that did this

 

 

I totally agree. I was watching SportsCenter and they mentioned it as an afterthought when recapping the game. If it was a BoSox/Yankee it would have lead the broadcast.

I was a lil bit miffed also . Baseball Tonight barely mentioned it if at all. I mean 38 straight outs. 12 2/3 perfect innings !! Come on now that is an amazing feat !

One could make the argument that Jenks is as good as he ever has been, and that person would probably be right.

 

The proof is in the pudding. The guy has just tied an American League record for the most consecutive outs recorded in the 107 year history of its exsistance. Only one other guy has ever done it. How can you argue with those results?

He has the the what the definition of a closer is supposed to be. Get outs to end the game. Easily. The guy has been freaking amazing lately. Remember this folks. He is one guy on the team that deserves a free pass when the time comes.

 

Oh by the way, nice article on him on MLB.com

Can you imagine how big this would be if Jonathan Papelbon had tied the record? There would be countless updates, in-progress video from ESPN and the MLB section of their website probably wouldn't have a picture of Aaron Harang on the front page right now. It's a shame Bobby will get so little national attention for an amazing accomplishment.
